8 Acres to clear...... Smart or crazy

[Grayson Klassen]

You might think about getting a stump bucket for the loader to get out the stumps. Not sure how big your tractor is but my bobcat 743 and a home made stump bucket can take out a- 10 inch stump pretty quickly. The stumpbuckets can be bought for about 800-900 bucks. I have 300 in mine using steel I have around the house. awesom tool..

Would love to see some pics of your stump bucket want to build one of my own

So I have not updated in a while because last time out work I un-earthed a body in a shallow grave. This is not a joke, it's been a really weird week dealing with cops, news, ect. I cannot give details because it's an open case an body is still unidentified. Thanks to you all telling me to do clearing with my tractor we were able to recover this body, a dozer might have just rolled over and never noticed it. Here are the pics I can share, sorry nothing great.

Wow, how long will it tie up your progress? When you can share details

Fire truck was taking pictures of the grave site to provide them an overhead view. I cannot share details until they figure out who it is and family is notified.

was it a recent thing? or had it been there for a while?

Its one thing to find the old piece of machinery in the back... but a body... wow ill pass on that one!

wow i have talked to a land clearer at a local vintage farming museum and he has found things like 100 year old logging equipment, tractors, rototillers, trucks, all sorts of scrap, but never a body. That is the strangest thing I have ever herd.

If you get bucket see if it has bracket holes for a tooth bar. Digging up dirt sod or even roots is great with a bucket with teeth. If you havent seen them yet theres a stump bucket that can be fitted on a quick attach and from guys that ive talked to say that these tools work great digging up roots and even trees they shouldnt cost more than a couple hundred bucks but Im not sure of what youre digging.

Well, maybe they will clear the rest of your ground in the search for clues!

He's digging up dead bodies. I suppose a tooth bar would help for that. A stump bucket could be awkward to use; it might tear up the evidence too much.
