I think a lot of folks underestimate the ability of a stump bucket. I once heard a guy say "You can move a mountain with a spoon". Slow and steady will win the race. Good video Brock. Thanks for sharing.
Well said I knew that this would rip through the roots but I didn’t know if it would be able to get deep enough. Very impressed with what it did on this stump Thanks for watching
Thank you for showing us a less expensive tool than a backhoe. I have an old Kubota L-175. Hopefully there is a version that will work for me. I have 5 acres and want to clear some of it.
I appreciate the fact that you do projects that test the limits of the implement. It's helpful to someone who is procrastinating about purchasing a new one. After watching this, I'm satisfied that a stump bucket is proficient and versatile and is now on my list of "next to buy".
There are few people whose reviews I trust on this platform but yours is one. Thanks for the extra time you put into helping us take less time to do tasks in our lives and save ourselves money. Greatly appreciated.
I watch Your videos when You post them and always see things to make notes on and remember I didn't know there are a variety of replacement tips. Your Demo was Great Thanks Ken in Florida
Thanks for sharing your experience with Stump Wrecker. Like the info you provided re stump (i.e. just cut last month). I figured you would be successful. I first used a Heavy Duty Stump Wrecker made by GWT yesterday. Had success digging out 3 stumps in less than hour. Even though i have a backhoe, I bought the HDSW based on (1) save wear and tear on the backhoe and (2) speed and ease of using the HDSW for removal of stumps.
It was nice of you to explain the (difference of using various attachments)for the video. It is wild what some people decide to type. Great content!! Watch out for those hands, lol... you can't grow any more.
Yeah, I didn’t think it would even be able to get that stump out but there was never a point where it was struggling to dig The limitation is probably just the break out force on your loader
I really love those teeth! The top and bottom plate are an awesome advantage! I wish they were available when I got mine! As it is now, I often shear grade 8 bolts
From Google....What is a Grade 9 bolt? Grade 9 structural bolts, also known as grade 9 hex cap screws, are one the strongest structural bolts that can be used today. While the typical grade 8 bolt has a tensile strength of 150,000 PSI, a grade 9 bolt has a tensile strength of 180,000PSI
@@T_Humphries it was a typical. Should of said grade 8. And the tensile strength of any fastener is clearly limited to the diameter of the bolt. These are 3/8 bolts. The tensile strength is 150,000 pounds per square inch. However, as you use the tractor they become a wear item that compromises the integrity of the fastener. The more you use it, the weaker they become as the material is stretched and worn. This is very common on a tractor. Especially on a front hoe/bolder grabber/ stump bucket/ concrete lifter. You would rather the bolts brake than the implementation on the front or rear of the machine. These buckets are made for abuse. And I use every tool I have on hand to get the job done.
Great video Brock, I purchased a heavy duty stump bucket but it is just to big for my tractor and am going to have to sell it and buy a smaller one. I was worried that I would destroy a small bucket and the bucket I bought is more suited for a skid steer.
Thanks for sharing I think for a small tractor like mine you don’t want a stump bucket more than 24 inches long and 12 inches wide Even with mine the breakout force of the loader is the limiting factor
I've been researching tractors and implements for months now. Until today I was considering a backhoe or a Chinese mini excavator to dig up stumps because I had no clue stump buckets were a thing. A tractor with stump bucket would do better than both.
Two concerns I’ve had about stump buckets, particularly on a subcompact: stress on loader arms and the possibility of bending them, and the increased chance of roll over because of the hole you need to dig to get enough root cutting to loosen the stump. Just not sure yet, although I see the value behind having one.
So the "DOWN SIDE" of the Artillian Stump Bucket, you need their Front end plate to use their product? OR can we use our Skid Steer attachment? That would be a make or break of the sale to me... Now you have a TYM tractor, does it work on that unit? Maybe the Front end plate is only to adapt the JD tractor to use other make toys. Ther page says [The Artillian front-hoe bucket is not compatible with other manufacturers’ pallet fork frames. ]
It will only work with their mounting plate. The most convenient time to get an Artillian set up is if you want pallet forks, and a stump bucket, or even a grapple and a stump bucket. The same frame works for everything. So if you only want a stump bucket, it cost a little bit more frame and the bucket. If you buy the whole system, it’s pretty reasonably priced compared to otheroptions bought separately. As far as different tractors, they have two versions available. John Deere quick attach and Skid steer quick attach. You can use the plate on every tractor except for John Deere. I have both plates.
I have seen some comparisons on Ritter Bit Will Do on his subcompact tractor on capability of his stump bucket and Backhoe. They both could do comparable stumps. However, the stump bucket bucket was quicker, because of the longer time spent on positioning the Backhoe in order to circle it the stump and break down the roots.
I like your reviews! What do you think would be more efficient at clearing a pasture. The stump bucket or stump grinder? Or backhoe attachment? Although I’m not sure I want to spend the money on the backhoe
If it’s a one off job clearing out stumps, hire an operator with a six tonne excavator. They will clear out stumps quickly and you won’t bust your tractor.
The stump bucket looks like it's right in that blind spot. Can you even see where you are placing the bucket? I really like to have eyes on whatever implement I'm using.
You cannot see it at all on my tractor. Complete guesswork but you also get a feel for how far it sticks out and how it is centered The combination of a short tractor with a large horsepower engine leads to a huge Blindspot in the front I can never even see the tips of the pallet forks
It absolutely would. They have four sizes of Add a Grapple for buckets and they also have two styles of Add a Grapple Designed specifically for pallet forks
I'm curious about this too. I know forks and fork carriages (frame) come in 'classes' and you can look up the dimensions of class 1, class 2 etc and measure your frame to find out. I think class 1 was 16" from top to bottom of the fork frame, iirc but google will tell you in 5 secs. Lemme know if you happen to figure out if the Artillian stuff does indeed fit a standard class 1 frame!
It does fit. I got a John Deere pallet fork frame when I bought my tractor. I can use my Artillian forks on the John Deere frame and I can use my John Deere forks on the Artillian frame. In terms of using any other Artillian attachment the problem you run into is there a locking system. They Artillian frame has a series of notches cut in the top where are you insert the locking pins. It seems like you could cut a couple notches into any pallet fork frame and then put the Artillian attachment on it. That’s my opinion. I haven’t done it
@@RockhillfarmYT Thanks for the info. There aren't a lot of options for stump buckets that aren't way too big for a SCUT, so i think making some slight mods to a fork carriage is worth it if the artillian bucket is the exact thing you need.. plus they have other cool stuff to consider too..
I dug through tons of big rocks no problem. I think it’ll dig pretty much anywhere. The only thing is it is slow because it only picks up a shovel full of dirt at a time.
@@RockhillfarmYT I understand. I just think it would be perfect to rip it down out of bank. Then use my bucket to haul and spread on driveway. That stump bucket is my next purchase. TY
Yes, I do think they made a difference. I also think the serrated edge on the side of the bucket make a big difference On cutting through roots The biggest advantage is the original teeth could get bent easier and I don’t anticipate these bending or breaking
I did not time it, but it seemed quick. Maybe 20 minutes? I did the same thing with the skid loader and I timed it. That was five minutes, but I know it dug faster than the tractor.

I love this video. With the rocky soil, you are showing a real-world review in a harsh environment. Well done sir!
Thanks. I really wasn’t sure if I would have the digging depth to get all those roots out but it worked

💥 Those teeth look mean! 👍
*Keep on tractoring!*
Thanks
Good job!!!
Thanks
Nice job. That stump bucket is a beast!! Thanks for "testing it's limits", though I think it still had to give.

Impressive Brock!

@@goodguysgunsllc9369 100% agree
Wowza. NICE ATTACHEMENT
Thanks. It’s definitely handy
Looks like it worked well... might have watched this a second time to think about fabricating my own bucket lol...
If you make one, I look forward to seeing it.
Well we now know why the name of your farm, is Rockhill. Nice job with that big stump!
Thanks
Great video buddy, can’t wait to get out there myself and rip some stumps this year.. my yard is just way to wet 😅
Yes sir

That was impressive! I have a 375A backhoe but you can never have too many attachments
Yes sir. Just another option and for people who are struggling to spend the money on the backhoe this gives a lower cost point that can still dig
Impressive capability. 👍
Thanks
Good job brother 😊😊
Thanks
Lots of rocks

Those are very really concerns
Liked it.
Thanks
I was 0.5 seconds from asking why you didn't just use the backhoe - perfect timing for your comment lol

Nice video on the stump bucket. I would still rather use my backhoe for saving time.
I agree.
The product is best suited for someone who doesn’t want to spend that money on a backhoe… But if you already have one might as well use it

However, the stump bucket bucket was quicker, because of the longer time spent on positioning the Backhoe in order to circle it the stump and break down the roots.
Good point. I like watching Jon‘s content as well
I have 7 stumps in the yard if you need more practice. Enjoy the nice weather today.
Thank you sir. that’s a tempting offer but I’m guessing we are not neighbors

If it’s a one off job clearing out stumps, hire an operator with a six tonne excavator. They will clear out stumps quickly and you won’t bust your tractor.
You could also try a root ripper for the backhoe. I've seen people do some impressive work with those.
I actually have one of those ordered that I’ll be showing soon

I’ve been mulling around in my head today. I think I may try it and answer the question
What’s your thoughts on that stump bucket working on a shale bank? Looks to me it might be perfect. Thanks in advance. Great video.
I dug through tons of big rocks no problem. I think it’ll dig pretty much anywhere.
The only thing is it is slow because it only picks up a shovel full of dirt at a time.
@@RockhillfarmYT I understand. I just think it would be perfect to rip it down out of bank. Then use my bucket to haul and spread on driveway. That stump bucket is my next purchase. TY
Do you think the mad max teeth were more aggressive than the flat teeth you were using?
Yes, I do think they made a difference. I also think the serrated edge on the side of the bucket make a big difference On cutting through roots
The biggest advantage is the original teeth could get bent easier and I don’t anticipate these bending or breaking
@@RockhillfarmYTit's impressive. I would bet those flat teeth would have got damaged in those big rock
Agreed. I’ve been the teeth a few times already on the first bucket I had
How long did it take
I did not time it, but it seemed quick. Maybe 20 minutes?
I did the same thing with the skid loader and I timed it. That was five minutes, but I know it dug faster than the tractor.
how long did it take you?
I did not time it, but definitely less than an hour
Had one built forgot the company s name ( out of California) was much heavier “ built “ prob weight d about 300 pounds, probably about 1/2 inch s thick all around, used it on a l 39 back hoe , also a 69 hp bob cat worked fine ( sold it for some stupid reason) bucket was probably 4 foot “ long “ of coarse both of the machines are of the “ industrial grade “ but this type of bucket is very versatile, rocks etc nice vid ( year late lol ! Just saw it
yeah I can understand you.but you losing more diesel by taking that way then the other way on the front ,s times more
How long did it take you?
Less than an hour I would say. Maybe 30 minutes or less of actual digging if you don’t count moving cameras and stuff like that
