Re: Subsoiler for small stump removal???
No, I haven't tried a brush grubber, but the disadvantage with it is it requires either two people, or climbing on and
off the tractor to attach it to the stump. As far as pushing them over with the bucket or grapple, they usually
break off instead of raising the root ball up.
It looks like from all the responses, that a subsoiler will do the job if I use it correctly.
Thanks for all the responses. TBN comes through again.Best Regards from Candia, NH

Re: Subsoiler for small stump removal???
I noticed a cracked link in one of my chains last time I used it. I suppose it is good to inspect chains once in a while when grubbing stumps. I use my home made subsoiler to grub at roots. Little stumps of 6" or less I can get out easily enough. Last stump I grubbed out was probably 24-30 inches. That took a lot of time and a fair bit of axe swinging and hand digging. Actually the stump was too heavy for my loader but it cracked in two which was slightly more manageable.

Re: Subsoiler for small stump removal???
I have an old fred cain and it it don't stop the tractor it will cut through. The ones that do stop it, I just move out farther and work my way back in. Seems to always get the job done with my 37 horse that is really only probably 30 horse after you figure in the HST.

Grammar police and spell checkers are compensating for something. Drag an idiot down to your level and have a beer with them.

Subsoilers don't work well on trees with big vertical tap roots. But they can work on threes with shallow, horizontally spreading roots. So study your tree root patterns.
