Excavator pulling a 28" Ash Stump

- We're getting a new septic system put in, and unfortunately the old (44 years old, as it turns out) ash tree in our backyard had to go. It had been partly killed by the ash-beetle that seems to be killing all the ash trees around here (SW Ontario), so it wasn't that great a loss.
The septic guys have their own little excavator for digging the system, but to pull this stump they needed a much larger one.
Called to dig up a stump, proceeds to dig entire yard. I’ve dug up many stumps and NEVER dug that big of a hole to get the damn stump out.
Thank God the guy with the shovel was there.
Your septic guys just conned you into paying for an unnessecarily big excavator. I pulled several stumps a LOT bigger than that one with a 4,5 ton Take-Job on rubber tracks just this summer, helping my mom out at her cottage. (Felling trees, demolishing buildnings, buildning new roads along slopes, the usual crap) I encountered trees with widespread roots and ones with deep roots and, as mentioned, a LOT bigger than yours. It did not take all day, it all went very smoothly.
I thought he was digging a swimming pool next to the stump
I enjoyed watching the clown with the shovel get in close in case he had to spring into action.
I have dug thousands of stumps. The ground was soft and he dug right up to the stump with his first hole. He should have drove around behind the dirt mound and simply pulled the stump into that hole. He dug five times as much was needed to get that small thing out. Small, yep, I just dug up four oak tress from around my house with 36 in trunks and over 12 foot wide root systems with my John Deere 510 backhoe. I had the whole tree and used the trunk for leverage to shove them over. OK, I did hook a chain up in the tree and use a 8,000 lb cable puller and 60 feet of cable to help them start to tip.
I like the way the bucket articulates all the way around
really nice bucket! the new cat excavators are probably the best on the market, cat hit a home run I think. the only thing that sucks is all the emission BS they have to put on em'. that's why the rear end is so large, for all the emission junk.
I think these people worked for the government they know the hard way and most expensive way of doing a job.
This driver is working by the hour !!
Tom Hoffmann would have pulled that out with his 35:1 mechanical advantage setup pulling with his Kia. Check out his video. Pretty cool. Thanks for posting. I like the pivoting attachment on the end of the excavator.
Finally an operator!!! Wrong bucket?? It got the entire job done in minutes! Loaded out and hole covered. Incompetent? That guy didn't waste a move. SMOOTH OPERATOR!!! That's the kind of partner I wanted when I was working ,but hard to find as you can tell by comments. Again Nice!
He,s playing the game with owner?
I don’t know why he’s pushing the large roots back in the hole.
Why not a stump grinder?
The two-stick arrangement seems to universal for excavators; if there's an exception I'm sure someone will mention it.
Why did the clown go so deep, was he trying to hit pipes/wires? That thing surely had the power to just roll the stump right out out the ground without digging at all.

All full stump grinder would have done the job with less destruction
What type of bucket is that he's using on that cat 320e?
