Land Clearing Rig

HawkinsHollow · Apr 25, 2019

Bought a MTL Attachments stump bucket to help me clear some land. The 3015 did really well with it. We were able to clear about 20 3-6" trash trees in about 1.5 hours. Now I need to get my diverter kit hooked up so I can use my new root grapple to clean up my mess. Here is my mean machine.

I was perusing the "net" the other day for attachments and saw a unit like your stump removal "bucket" except this one also had a grapple attached. Very cool looking. Haven't been able to find it anywhere since. I just installed a 3rd function "kit" on my 4020 and reported a bit about it here, so when you get ready to do one come on back, there are a couple little idiosyncrasies to address. But it's really pretty easy.

Hombre - yeah, I saw those too. I didn't want the extra weight of the thumb. I ended up buying a 48"grapple as I thought it would be a bit more versatile. The stump bucket does a really good job. Take a few digs at the roots, push it over as much as possible then dig it out the rest of the way.
Is your 3rd function write up in the Branson thread? I'll go back and look for it.
