That is a nice looking ripper. I built one for my 4 ton years ago and it is very handy at times. At some point, I want to get one for my 8 ton. I have dug thousands of stumps with my 4 ton machines. Not every job requires a 50,000# machine and the cost of moving them doesn't pencil out for small jobs like we do. Good video, and have a wonderful day. We have another wave of rain coming, so we will see what new work that will bring.
They can be pretty effective but one of the main reasons I went with this companies design is the smaller teeth on the inside of the curl as your always pulling through the roots and you have much more power with that action. Thanks for your comment and for watching my channel!
You're lucky that was a Cedar and not a Pine with giant tap roots. On the Pines I have to dig under the stump too and sometimes cut the tap roots with a saw.
I run that exact ripper on a u55 and consider it a perfect match for all but the largest stumps (over 4-feet). Good compliment to the atom 300 ton splitter on an auger drive to bust up the big ones for transport. Recommend scratch dirt off in place before lift/removal makes it lighter and easier to lift (burns better too).
Nice video and cool product - glad I know about it. Few challenges are more rewarding than ripping out a big stump, especially with a 5 ton machine. Nice job!
At 21 mins you were talking about the teeth on the ripper when you hit the root and could've used it. I know you are doing 3 things at once . Good job. Another tip, if you can check the big limbs on the downed tree to see where the big roots might be. Arborist friend told me.
not going to chime in on the size of your machine vesus the stump, you use what you have. but i am curious as to why you dig from the side instead of face on, will be easier on your machine and you have more pulling ability with the blade down.
Hi there, thanks for the comment. Good observation basically just for maneuvering around the hole for this particular stump. I did not have any roots that really required that much force so I didn’t need to pull over the blade as you observed but if I had, I would’ve positioned over the blade and if you remember towards the end, when I was actually pulling the stump out to your point, I turned the machine to where I was lifting the stump over the blade, which illustrates exactly what you’re saying, where I have more lifting power over blade. Great comment and I appreciate you watching.
@@DerekRoss-i6g I appreciate your comment and I understand if you’re looking at this happening in a big open field, but you have to understand my market typically my jobs are this size stump next to a cabin that’s next to another cabin maybe 30 or 40 feet away where you can’t get a 30 or 40 ton machine into that space so my little 5 ton machine is the only thing you’re gonna get in there so the homeowner is gonna be forced to hire somebody like me with a small machine to get this size stump out so a half hour to get this size out is a very affordable option for that homeowner to remove that stuff completely versus and digging or grinding or some other option. Appreciate you watching.
if that stump took you over an hour to get out i think you better re-think your strategy..go watch this guy taking out stump as big as that one in about 5 to 7 minutes... letsdig18 ..his name is Chris watch a couple of his videos he builds ponds and stuff like that so does loads of stump removal.
Hi there appreciate you watching, if you go back, you’ll see that it took me a half an hour to dig the stump and it was a little over an hour to completely dig the stump and dress the entire site to leave a finished product so for the size of my equipment that’s a pretty good time. Chris and I are in completely different fields The cost to move His equipment is more than I charge for most of my jobs so we’re in completely different markets again thank you for watching merry Christmas.
You are comparing Chris using a 27 ton machine (the 240) or a 36 ton machine (the 330) vs this guy using a little 5 ton machine. Really not any comparison. Chris's mini Yanmar is bigger than this guys TB250.
Chris does much bigger jobs, makes sense $$$$ to have the much larger machines. He is definitely the tree removal expert, I agree with ya. 1/2 hour to remove stump not bad. also beats digging it out by hand.

Thanks for stopping by and the comment Jeremy! Really appreciate it!
@slamsshenanigans2296 your welcome
How effective is the saw teeth on the back of the ripper? You seldom see anyone using the back side of the ripper to rip the roots in half.

Yes sir! Some take forever! Appreciate the comment and you watching my channel.

Definitely a good tip and something that I look for thank you and I appreciate you watching!

Nice machine.. But too small for that size tree... 30min is a long time on one stump. I'm sure you will get it eventually..

Great customer service!
