I was thinking the same thing. My 3200 will probably seem puny when I get it!

Well they just dropped off the L45 and I dug out my first stump. It was my first time ever on a machine and it took me about 30-40 minutes. I got the 10" stump out but made a mess and left a big hole. Sure is a lot harder then it looks. Will be back to Hoe school tomorrow morning.

Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it. On my BX25, I have to try to remember not to use two circuits at the same time whenever possible - just not enough hydraulic flow. I try to take one hand off the controls momentarily sometimes to make sure I'm not leaking fluid to one of the other circuits. I'm sure that's not an issue for the L45 nor likely your BH77.
Maybe take some pic's of that L45 when you have a chance, you know, as a photo tune-up for delivery day. :laughing:

I'll try to get a picture but I'm not real smart with posting the picture to the Tractorbynet board here.

Jim,
With the BH dig left and right 1 foot outside the stump to find the tap root or one solid root to grab then lift/curl the bucket- if that doesnt work dig deeper until you can grab a main root and the stump moving a bit. Once it moves you've won the battle.
The hole it leaves and the stump removal/haul fee is why I suggested to get them ground down.
Have fun with the L45, and BTW while you have that machine go after the big ones.
Cheers,
Carl

Some people enjoy hours and hours of working on one job(stump) and finally getting the stump out and then dealing with the stump and the hole. I'm not one of them. You'll get a bit quicker on each stump with that machine then when your smaller machine comes it will be a bit slower than that machine.
Grinding the stumps is the best choice for me but here where I live there is only one, maybe two guys with stump grinders. They charge by the inch and it's expensive. A dozer can push out 10 stumps and have them piled up to burn in less time than one stump can be ground up. Here several people have dozers and they are not all that expensive per hour. A dozer can push them into a pile and level the ground back in short order. Burn the pile later or sooner.
Some jobs are just better done by equipment designed for the job. Just my experience and opinion.
