Rear Blade Will a boxblade do this?

Get a brush grubber for about $50 and be done with it!!

Here are a couple of photos of what a 26 hp 4x4 tractor with FEL will do with the right soil conditions and a persistent operator.

I've done it with a 40 hp 2wd tractor. It wasn't easy. I varied between pushing, pulling with the ripper teeth, or using a single tooth ripper. I probably would not do it again. I especially would not do the pushing with the 3 pt. I didn't understand the risks although I didn't mess anything up.

I also very much depends on the tree species. Some have shallow roots and others have big strong tap roots.

S219, funny thing after much deliberation and before reading your post I ordered the original brush grubber this a.m. from Tractor Supply. I can probably use my bushhog for several of these "saplings" that aren't overgrown yet. The main reason for wanting to initially hit some of these saplings in reverse was that several of my "targets" are locust or something similar with tire piercing thorns on them. The brush grubber should be perfect for those. Thanks again fellows.

Have you looked into the Brush Grubber? I bought one and it works great. It is slow, but if you're only removing a dozen or so on each occasion, as I do, it can't be beat. (And it is a lot cheaper than a 3PH attachment.

Anybody who would consider doing either of those things probably can't read so their words are wasted.

What about pushing backwards with a blade. They're made so they can swivel and be used in either direction is that advisable?

Sorry, you can't deliver a baby with it!

You can use a rearblade in reverse direction but you have to understand the limits or confines of doing this too. I use a rearblade on occasion to backfill a trench, I would not use it to doze stumps. It is all about learning the limits, what you can get away with and what will wind up costing you money to fix. Sometimes learning this can cost alot of money.
