Big Stump, Little Backhoe

Looks good, it's amazing how much work you can get done with these little B-series tractors. I've run many B21s, B26s and my B3200, all great little tractors. I remember one time I dug a huge maple stump out with a B26 but it was too big for the hoe to leverage it out of the hole. Dug a ramp down to it, ran a chain around the stump and hooked it to my B3200, then with it pulling and the hoe on the B26 prying we got it out of the hole. Kicking myself now for not getting a pic of the two little bota's working in tandem.

Got the stump out of the hole and moved to the side. Later that month I had a guy come in with a 953 CAT track loader to do some other work and had him move the stump to the burning pile. He picked it up, hauled it to the pile and literally flung it on top...humbling :ashamed: LOL

Nope I put it in the burn pile. Pile brush around it and hope it burns too.

You'll be burning that thing for months. Really.

Yea I really doubt it will burn the first time. Thats the good thing about an ongoing burn pile, just keep adding brush to it..

Yes I figured the safety police would sniff me out!!! And to add fuel to the fire, I don't think he wore his seat belt....Its a good thing he didn't have a wreck at 1.5 miles per hour!!!!

Oh yeah, the pooch. Her name is copper and she is about 10 yrs old. I think arthritis is getting her. She is my helper...out of everyone here at the homestead including the wife, kids, and animals; she is the only one that is absolutely happy to see me everyday of the year...I guess that's the way it goes.

Hey there cowpatty, nice looking tractor you got there! Hats off to your son for helping too, looks as though you might have a keeper there, young and willing to help! Remember this little saying," It's not the size of the hook that matters, it's how you wiggle the worm!" . . .John

I had to make a makeshift sled out of and old gate and some 4x6 posts.

can I have your old gate? It looks better than my operating gates..
