David.... it is always funny to me to read peoples comments, about how you "should" have done it, or the better way to get the job done! I know exactly what you are talking about when you say "therapy" Doing this kind of work, trimming trees, and burning brush requires just enough attention to keep you alert and safe, yet it makes all your other troubles and issues disappear for a while! I'll work 5 times harder in the woods than at work, but get tons of stress relief! Good video!
I rented a old 20 H.P. Yanmar backhoe to dig a hole with the small 6.5 foot hoe & when I hit tree roots it was a pain getting through them it didn't have enough power I had to cut them with a axe. The next time I rented a backhoe for work in the yard I got a Kubota L48 I didn't have any problems getting through the roots with that baby & it had a 11.5' reach. But I may have worked it for 16 hrs. a day, but it was a lot of fun & therapy! Great video, thanks for posting it!
A 20 hp is a bit light but the trick is to scrape the ditch from around the roots then they are not all that strong. Also go far enough away from the stump so the root is small enough to brake after you take the soil from around it. Take care.
You I'd a great job. I used to operate heavy equipment or a living and no matter how big the machine was there were still times it wasn't big enough. People need to understand that your not owing to break any Speed records. Your doing it because you love to do it and good or you . Enjoyed seeing this. Thanks.
I have a kubota L series 47 hp and I have a backhoe attachment. I have been doing a few jobs and making a few dollars and making my own logging road. I have some some videos on my channel with it. They work great and after about 20 hours of practice you can do a lot of work with them. I do almost always cut the tree down and process it up then dig out the stump thats because I am an experience logger but to each is own. Thanks for sharing a great video. .
All I can say is that if your happy doing it that way and as you said it gives you therapy, then by all means keep doing it, you seem to be pretty content so good work and best of luck aginst those roots,lol!
@risingbullproduction - I tip the tree over to remove the stump. The weight of the tree flips the roots out and the ground is then clear. It's tedious, the tractor is small, but it's my personal therapy. In other words, I like playing in the woods. Someday these particular woods will be clear to walk. Currently working on a mess of vine maples - the mother of all jungles.
Thanks for posting this. I have the John Deere version of this tractor (2305). I'm looking at getting the backhoe attachment for it. Looks like I could expect similar results judging by the fact that weights and horsepower of the machines are about the same. Looks like you could do about anything with it if your not in a hurry?
Hi. I liked your video, so forgive my ignorance. Why not just cut it down? Seems like a lot of extra work (do you need to fill in the hole?), but please, could you tell me why you do it this way? Thanks.
@khazenstab - Thanks for the comments, but as I said above, working in the woods is my personal therapy. Here in WA State, if you aren't attacking the jungle, the jungle wins. A cat would be quicker, but my little tractor BX-24 allows me to pick what I take out and what I leave behind. I don't mind the time.
Does Kubota offer an implement for cutting out roots? It looks like a single tooth hook. That thing looks like it was really straining. How much breakout force is listed for the backhoe?

Thanks kdidl. I actually tipped the machine over last fall. Scared me big time. But no harm to anything, except my pride. Careful out there.

Thanks! The video was one of my first trees. I'll try your tip today. Need all the torque I can get.

Impressive - especially for such a small tractor. Thanks
That little BX does the trick!
Great video! I hope you do more!

I am more interested in how you produced this video. Love the post card switching to video clips.
Congratulations for the job. Can I ask you why did you knock down such a beautiful large plant?

awsome toy!

By not felling the tree first you are able to use the tree height as a lever to help break the tap root

YOUNG MAN ,
RASIE YOUR LOADER BUCKET UP THEN CURVES THE BUCKET COMPLETE OPEN THEN PUT THE BUCKET DOWN INTO THE GROUND , THEN U WILL HAVE MORE CONTROL
Well if he didn't want the stump this way is pretty effective.
how long does it take per sump on average?
I go all weekend on 5 gal.

How much$?
Video would have been better without all the cutouts - very distracting.
@kb384us - ha ha. I'll keep my desk job. I'm sure my video editing - and my backhoe skills are both lacking.
The video was made with a Mac and iMovie. Nothing special.
