I'm glad I found your channel! I just bought an SY26U myself and am learning from you. I only have a 24" dig bucket. I'm pretty sure your 12" bucket does a better job with roots and digging up stumps. Have you tried tree and stump work with the 24"? How'd that go?
Thanks and welcome aboard! I use my 12” the most. It is very strong and much lighter than my 24” bucket. I also have a 36” rake I use for brush cleanup. I put the SY26U to task on a very steep hillside this week. You’ll want to watch these two videos. The second video goes live this Thursday.
@FullCircleOzarks I've watched the first one. That's a steep hill. I have the same type of hill on my property so I'm watching your techniques. Where did you get your rake? Have you made any videos using it? That is very possibly my next purchase.
I’ll make a video using the rake soon. I got my excavator and attachments at my dealership in Brookline MO. Hear is the link: ste-equipment.com/locations/
Actually it’s much harder to take a stump out when the tree has already been cut down. The weight of the tree acts as a lever and helps to pop the stump out as the tree falls.
@@FullCircleOzarksYeah I learned that years ago when I had a John Deere 1050 tractor with a backhoe. You could take down some big trees with a little preliminary digging then using the tree as leverage, much easier than trying to dig one out later when you have small equipment.
Another great video guys ! Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I feel that you are going to have a dip in the ground where you put the stumps in a few years, but just my thoughts
I agree with you, a future dip is a possibility. We considered that and decided we willing to add more dirt in the future.

2:08 wouldn't it be faster to cut it, then dig up the rest?

Yes indeed.
