The owner uses a stump bucket and grapple, discovers one tree species has massive interconnected taproots that wear out the loader and aren't practical to dig, then switches to easier trees for visible progress. Also covers a grapple pin fix. Best for owners curious how stump buckets and grapples actually perform against tough root systems.
An owner-operator documenting hands-on land-clearing work on their own property, including honest struggles and mid-project changes of plan.
It works well for individual stumps and smaller jobs like ten trees, but on trees with massive interconnected taproots it is slow and puts a lot of wear and tear on the front end loader.
One tree species had a huge shared root system where many trees grew off the same giant root, making them next to impossible to dig out efficiently with the stump bucket.
The owner replaced the missing cotter pins with correctly sized ones from a spare supply, noting branches knock the original pins loose over time.
