Hey guys,
For those interested, posted some pics in the Kioti photo section of a giant stump I just removed with my CK25. I was about to give up on this one, when all of a sudden it started to move! Got it loose and then had a little trouble getting it out of the hole. Broke a 2600 lb chain and had to get a 5400 lb one to get it out. Even though the stump weighed far more than the capacities of the CK25, the tractor still got the job done. Love this machine!
Stump had to go cause it was sitting right on top of my septic line, which I was replacing. But, I didn't want to break the pipe until the stump was out of the way. So, I had to be careful under one side of the stump. Couldn't quite be as rough with it as I would have liked. Hole was about 15 feet in diameter and about 4 feet deep. I was just about at the reach limits on my rhino 75 when it came loose. I finished the 45 foot trench, replaced the pipe and backfilled all in one day. Not too bad for a rookie. And quite excellent for the CK!
