Buying new B2620- did I get everything I need?

See that biggest stump top/right, I dug that out completely down about 4-5 feet below grade, I ripped all roots and dug 2 feet under them even it would not budge just due to shear size and weight. Keep in mind that below grade once you dig them out that stump is twice the diameter you see sticking up above ground. The somewhat smaller one off in the distance top left I was able to wiggle just a smidge but that was it. What I decided was even if I was able to haul it out of there with my 4x4 truck then what do I do with it right. I could have burned it in place I had it dug out that well and washed off with a hose. But my stump grinder guy has to come out and grind some stumps anyway out front that are too close to the driveway to dig or burn and he can grind them 18 inches below grade so what the heck. His stump grinder cost $50k its a beast.

PS: All the stumps and roots I cleared, it was a significant pile more than I wanted to hassle with burning so I dug 6 foot deep pits with the BH65 and buried it all. :thumbsup:

Haha that's awesome. Looks like a lot of work but a lot of fun doing it. Unfortunately I don't have any woods to nuke.

I have a few big pine stumps (24"+) and a few smaller hardwood stumps that will be a test. The big ones will have to get ground, but I can at least clear some roots out.

First major project is fel work as well some bb grading. Trying to figure out an excuse to use the bh in there lol.

Gotta build a shed foundation. Should be fun and beats the heck out of shoveling.

It's amazing the uses you find :). In my first week I was moving groceries with the fel from the garage.... Just because I could!

My wife was giving me a hard time, saying she talked to her other girlfriends, and all the husbands with tractors and backhoes starting having holes dug up all over the yard.

I'm trying not to prove her right, at least for the first few weeks, or maybe days, hopefully hours, but most likely minutes. :)

My wife gave me the "no more projects" ultimatum the spring after i completely dug up the lawn for the third time.
I would advise digging the holes when shes not there, then you HAVE to finish :cool:
