I was digging out stumps a few years back with the case 580 backhoe/16"
All where Red and White oak up to 3' dia.
On the larger ones I would spend up to 45 min tearing the roots apart with the bucket, You would have to work around tearing through most of the roots before popping it. I always had a hard time tearing through some roots, I could never angle the bucket just right as to catch a root with one end tooth to tear through it.
I always thought that I could take some 1" plate steel and make a large curved "claw" about 2' long and sharpen it, Fab some pivots so as to use it in place of the bucket, this would be a good root ripper ?
does any one make something like this ?
