You see his evolving strategy, frontal attack, then root-by-root excavation, and why he ultimately walked away. Most useful for owners weighing whether this bucket-and-tractor combo can handle mature stumps.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on experiences from his own 33-acre farm, so expect candid results rather than a sales pitch.
Not always. On this decade-old persimmon stump with solid three to four inch roots, the B2601 and Artillian stump bucket could not break it loose despite repeated attempts.
Hitting the stump head on did not work. Digging around the stump to expose and break individual roots loosened some, but a thick central root structure still held firm.
The stump was cut down about ten years ago, but the roots were still green inside and solid, showing little to no rot.
