Backhoe BX24 1 - tree stump zero

[bx24]

It took 2 hours with the backhoe and a chainsaw to cut 3 8" tree roots but the Kubota won out. The stump had to be pretty heavy because I could barely lift it (even without the FEL bucket on)

About now your wife will tell you those were the wrong two trees.

Nice. I have not tried removing anything that big yet with my BH, but I'm itching to try. Might just be a mature tree missing from the yard when my wife comes home one of these days. "See honey, it was putting too much shade on your flower garden - you'll thank me later."

I don't even have a kubota... but I know that strategy is dangerous, at best!

I got one about that size to pull out. But my BX2230 doesn't have a bh. Gonna be an interesting tug of war.

Even after the two hours of digging, the smaller roots still held it tight right up until the point where it let go. Without a BH, I don't think a wrecker could have pulled this out
