Has anyone used a stump bucket on there loader. Wondering if it really digs stumps out.

I had one for a short while,didn't like it at all.One of those ideas that sounds better than it works.
First you can't see what you are doing and it takes a lot of power to make it work.My tractor is not small at 7000lbs.an L4240 HSTC.
Impossible to do a ditch with,if you get the bucket full you have to back the length of the ditch to drop it.
I sold mine at half price to a guy with a skid steer.

Thanks for the info . I will wait and hope to buy a backhoe.

Once you have a BH you will be that much closer to heaven. I love mine for landscaping around the house. Definitely a luxury but it saves time and your back big time!

I agree, a BH is the way to go......expensive but very practical for most stump work. I have dug quite a few and because our transfer station wont take them I cut back any long roots , dig a deep hole, and bury the sucker!

I am lucky to live where I can burn mine and I have gotten rid quite a few stumps.
