Bobcat E85 Pulling Two HUGE Stumps

Doing some work around the property with a Bobcat E85 excavator including these two huge stumps. The first is 25 inches at the trunk and the second is around 36 but is a pine and has been cut for many years.

A frost/root ripper will allow you to remove the stump with 80% less dirt displacement. Great video and beautiful place!

And allow you to pull stumps much bigger than a small machine should be able to.

Sounds like something we need down here by Houston. God I hate digging stumps

[@rontopping2048]

Stump would come out in half the time if you dug further out around stump , with less mess

That is one powerful machine I think you could have got them out much quicker with a smaller bucket

Nice job mate

[@jimmygross5369]

It’s plain to see this guy hasn’t dugout many stumps.

[@scottmcquarrie7295]

There's nothing more efficient at removing stumps than a D8 or 9 with a single shank ripper with the tooth Shank mounted backwards. You ain't loading them but they sure do come out the ground well.

Makes since thanks for the comment
