Bought A Markham Grubber Stump Bucket

[flINTLOCK]

I was looking at their stump bucket myself. Nice piece. I need something to grub out larger rocks in my foodplots. Have been using pallet forks with some success, but worry about bending them. I think that they offer the same bucket with grapple attachment. Not sure if that would be worth the extra $$ to be able to grab rocks grubbed up.

I'd imagine Markhams "Gator" stump bucket/grapple would certainly be useful but given how close that is in price to the regular 48 inch grapple which can also easily dig out rocks from fields, I'd be inclined to go for the full grapple. I am sure that for just stump grubbing there is an advantage to the narrower point of the stump grapple but that needs to be considered along with what other general grapple duties might come along.

Any grapple is better than no grapple.

Good point Island. I need the narrower edge to dig around the larger mostly buried rock without being impeded by the adjacent smaller ones that give my Anbo trouble.

And that my friend is exactly why they make stump buckets. Specialized tools do have their place.

I bought one also a couple years ago. Great product for a great price. It's especially useful for transplanting bushes, too...

I just bought one - came in on Friday - same result. Reasonable price, fast delivery, great product. I will look there for my next implement.

Here is an addition to the stumper that might be useful.
