Digging Up Stumps With The Harbor Freight, Central Machinery Backhoe: Volume One

After literally cutting down hundreds of small to medium trees on our recently acquired property that was abandoned and terribly overgrown, it's now time to dig up some stumps.

Appreciate the video. Often you will see forestry or construction folks put down folks using low cost small equipment to dig up tree stumps. Small size backhoes, even this standalone model, can do a lot of work for you. Even tractor-mounted backhoes may not be designed to dig out stumps but they certainly can do the job. Backhoes will take longer than a dozen or large excavator so be patient. Good to see the little tool getting some work done too!

Nice!! Not only does it get the job done, but it's fun doing it!

I am saving up to get mine. I have a lot of trees want to transplant. Plus I need to bury a tornado shelter of some kind. Awesome job 👍

Good job!

Add some gussets on the outriggers. They will be breaking before long. I have dug up many with mine. It will pay for itself instead of paying for a stump grinder .

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work. I am awaiting delivery of my trencher. Harbor Freight... Where the heck is it?! I can hardly stand the anticipation!!!

I've been looking for an accessory thumb. The one I bought from the towable vendor was 'under engineered' and built from really soft steel: aka failed miserably.

You are digging too close to the stuff for such a small piece of equipment

A caution.
