Loader Stump bucket

[4570Man]

I’ve used a stump bucket on a 95-2 Kubota CTL and it was a beast. Probably not much short of my 310 for digging stumps. But I think they’d be close to useless on a small tractor with a good chance of damaging the loader.

I just came across your bucket design. It looks like something I would like to build. Can you give me some specifics about your bucket?
Size of plates? Length and thickness, kind of steel used.
Thank you,
Jim

Jim,
Here are the dimensions, the plate is a quick attach 1/4" I think, all the steel is roughly 1/4". It was cut out on a CNC Plasma machine and the sections were welded together, the teeth are pointing backwards to cut roots as you stab and pull back on the root. It really works great however I recently bought a 40hp heavier lift tractor and did bend it a bit, not too bad but I had to add some bracing at about 5 and 7 o'clockif you in front looking back on the tractor.Hope this helps

Your bucket looks good. Thank you for the information. I am going to build one. I have a little different idea.

As I understand it, this is the most popular way to quickly and effortlessly uproot a stump, which removes not only it but also most of the large roots. The excavator digs the underground part of the trunk, including the upper part of the root system, then cuts off the remaining sources in the ground and pulls the stump by picking it up with a bucket. Excavator is also very effective when cleaning the area from a developed surface root system - picking up the root and pulls it out over a reasonably large size. But I'd still instead of going to Tree Service, Stump Removal, Landscaper, Antioch, CA.
