OMG ...right? They also had to make the tools to do it by hand first. I bet they damned well took care of those tools unlike my guys who think cleaning and oiling a tool is ridiculous.
Love the concept of being able to break the stump up while it is still in the ground. Digging stumps and hauling them whole is ineficient and expensive as hell. Great video!
I think that I shall never see .... a poem as lovely as a tree. I wish, of course, that there could be .... a tree that's left for me to see. A lumber firm from out of town .... has chopped the whole darn forest down. But I'll show up those lousy chumps. .... I'll go and write a poem called "Stumps"!
Yea, I noticed that the backend of the Rooster was lifting off the ground on some of them when he was trying to pull them out. Still, a great tool. Wish I had something like it at my old house.
Cool. I just watched a video using draft horses and a fulcrum to pull stumps. Man animals and men had it tough. Amazing what our ancestors accomplished.
I know from experience how much force it takes to move a stump. We had a 100 ton Koehring Harvester coming to a dead stop in low gear. The operator asked us mechanics to come out and take a look at the machine. When we saw the machine come to a dead stop we had never had this problem before. When the machine went in reverse it was fine. When going forward it would run okay for a little bit and then stop. I went to the front of the machine to see if there was any issues with the front drive axle. Then I noticed the poplar stump that was sticking out of the ground about a foot and a half snagging the tow cable which was hanging a little low and sure enough that stopped that machine right now.
When I was a boy, Granddad would just build a huge pig pen around the field that he had cleared. In a couple of years or so, the pigs would have gotten the ground ready for ploughing cultivation, and he would plant potatoes or some other hardy crop. He was from the old country you see.......: ) He had to pull the remaining stumps with the horses however. It was amazing what the pigs can do with their noses. I liked your video, it brought back many memories for me. Thank you.
That thing is cool, much more manageable pieces to handle and a lot less soil displacement too. Always amazed at just how strong a stump can really be.
Live in Central Oregon. We have lava rock rock everywhere. Tree stumps are just as costly to demo. I just purchased a heavy duty Blue Diamond Auger then got a Spiral Stump Spliter...amazing. What used to take 1 to 2 hrs w/ a Cat E70 and Rockhammer...now I can split stumps w/ my Terex TSR50 in 20 minutes. a 3 ft dia fresh stump...30 minutes into 8inch shreds so a 8000 lb mini can finish it off. We get charged $150 per stump to dump. No one can use them. But if you shred them...cheap dump fee...and it goes out your tail gate.
@@molyoxide164 It is certainly unnecessary, messy, and cumbersome. I want to see a bucket take a similar stump up side by side. Then I will make my decision final. Lol
What an unreal tool for the job. My friend had a feild to stump on his piece and this would expedite the process nicely. How do the teeth hold up to rocks? We grow em big out here in Maine.
You should watch Andrew Camarata with his mini excavator dig stumps quickly without all the pieces to pick up. I will say it's a cool machine ... stumps should fear the rooster!
@@NorthwestSawyer sounds like a fair exchange. You destroyed their home, they give you some temporary discomfort. I once lifted my off road helmet visor to get cool air in about 150 metres away from home after hours of hard off road adventure biking. Doing maybe 40kmh. Bee flew into my helmet, stung me in the corner of my eye, the side closest to my nose. Nearly crashed trying to pull it out (reactionary). Looked like I had gone two rounds with Mike Tyson, minus blood. Bloody sore.
This thing made a hell of a mess... all that swinging & digging you could have used a bucket & dug it out & it would have been ten times cleaner of a job.....
I been to a couple of goat ropings but this way more gooder. I really enjoyed the new way to fell timber. I could of used that back in the fifties when I cut timber over on the Hoe rain forest with those narly castle topped cedars that had just about any type tree you want to mention out of them up say thirty feet. everything was fine till they branched out into some really dangerous trees. I cut holes in the sides of them then a undercut. Then crawl in the hole and finish cutting the opposite side off from the inside and man the showers from the duff on the inside....and yes.... ants. Yes things have changed, my son is in his late fifties
I thought I had seen every excavator attachment made. I have never seen one of these. That is a cool tool right there. That sure would make burning the stumps a lot faster. I live in the Southeast and have pulled quite a few stumps with my machinery. I pulled one up that was taller than a Toyota Tacoma pickup (had to dig on that one a bit). Oh and I really like the rake on the Deere back there too. Actually came close to getting one of those for my Kobelco.
Screw 'em ... you live in the State of Anarchy !! We once blew a "reluctant" stump on Cypress Island, Wa a QUARTER mile (it sank a pleasure boat) this was about 1959 This is the same site as the infamous "Fish Farm Escape of 160,000 Atlantic Salmon" I read it as an escape from a Gulag in the Soviet of Washington
Maybe rake both sides of the stump to break up roots, try get stump out in a single piece? Could sell that wood, has many uses, guitars? Hope you replanted the area for future generations?
Para Dux Agreed, I call bull on thumb with bucket pulling much out but dirt. I have ran a excavator and the thumb and bucket is good for some of these tasks but the 3”or so wide blade concentrates the pulling force over much smaller surface area. The bucket would just sit there and bog down and pull the excavator up like it was doing in a few spots with just the hook and ripper blade. Much more efficient at ripping up the stumps to then have the other machine come and pick up the trash. Nothing more frustrating when running a thumb and bucket and just having a machine with 60K pulling force just working hydraulics to a standstill...much better use of physics with the smaller width blade.
Why didn't you use the backhoe bucket attachment and scoop out dirt on both sides and push the tree over....then cut off the bottom stump with a chain saw once it's tipped over...much faster than doing it your way...👍
Well there’s several reasons, Bill. #1. Safety. If you’re ripping up roots on a 150’ tree and it starts going over, you’re not going to steer it. #2. The stumps are put through a grinder and have to be broken down first. That’s impossible if the stumps aren’t in the ground. #3. If you have a hundred trees down and then you cut the stumps off, you have that much more debris to have to work around to get the logs decked. If you watch the video before this one, where we took the trees down, it might make more sense.
My dad told me about how his dad would often use about a quarter stick of dynamite from the local hardware store on big stumps to blow them out of the ground right into a trailer. Sadly can't do that anymore because of government meddling.
This is funny since I just spent one _day_ removing one 90 years old spruce (witch I logged this summer) stump from my yard with modest 1,7 ton excavator and a regular scoop.
I would suspect that you have it a little bit easier with the ground having a very high sand content and those trees didn't look that old either. Do you think you'd have a tougher time with an older tree with better established roots in a more earthy landscape? Great design, looks fun.
If the stump was from a live hardwood tree, you would need to go after the roots first, then roll it out of the hole. Then drop it in the bed of the boss’s pickup.
I've been stung by them, and my father is ALLERGIC to them! He has to carry an emergency bee sting allergy injection kit in his outdoor work truck to jab and pump himself full of medicines with if he ever winds up getting stung while doing field telco work! Wasps and yellow jackets deserve no mercy! >:D
Northwest Sawyer Lol. Oh boy I had to look at it again, I didn’t see the eye 😆 sorry it looks great. I was thinking of something with a bit more color🐔 That beak sure makes short work of those stumps though. Do you have to haul that stuff away or can you burn it?
Although it's a lot more fun just setting a charge and blowing the stump out, I have to admit this way is a lot more sensible and faster than digging a hole for the charge. Makes a lot less small pieces of kindling wood too.
Makes you appreciate how hard the settlers worked to clear land for farming.
It would’ve taken months to do that work. 👍👍
OMG ...right? They also had to make the tools to do it by hand first. I bet they damned well took care of those tools unlike my guys who think cleaning and oiling a tool is ridiculous.

Thank you! You can handle the smaller pieces much easier than a whole stump.
Damn, one of the BEST attachments, I’ve seen on U-tube!! Every logger should have one in his back pocket.🤯
I really enjoy watching the angry rooster at work. It’s the best stump removal attachment out there in my opinion.
How satisfying. Super efficient. I was always taught to bring the right tool to the job. This is a nice example. .
I think that I shall never see .... a poem as lovely as a tree.
I wish, of course, that there could be .... a tree that's left for me to see.

The stumps are gone too.....
So, now what are you going to do?....
The machine is a beast but those stumps put up a pretty good fight

That is an impressive tool to deal with stumps, better than digging around the stump creating a big hole.
I came on RUclips to watch videos about motorcycles have no clue how I ended up watching this whole video 😂😂
Isn’t RUclips great???🤣
A thumb attachment on the device would be helpful.
Just a reminder thought 😜
Yeah but, it still feel's like a kid in a sandbox with a Tonka...right?
Mostly, timber tom. Mostly 😎

We had pigs when I was young. They uprooted a big Fir tree behind our house and we had to cut it down.
1960, I REMEMBER MY DAY DIGGING AROUND STUMPS FOR DAYS. Then put a few sticks of gelignite in them. KABOOM
that scorpion stinger attachment is the baddest claw on a machine ever.
That angry rooster attachment/device/thing, is fre-aking cool!
That thing is cool, much more manageable pieces to handle and a lot less soil displacement too. Always amazed at just how strong a stump can really be.
I used it on a 4’ diameter oak stump. It took a little while.
The power of hydraulics amazes me like in this video.

For those hard to reach itches. 😬

It'll for sure relieve your itch
R. E. Hill your right cool huh
Funny
lv dug up a few stumps by hand so this was odly satisfying to watch....:)
Where can you purchase one of those. Any info would be very much appreciated. Nice demo and a very awesome piece of equipment
The attachment or the machine
Super cool attachment! I bet a custom thumb attachment to go with would be really handy.
Thank you sir. I would like two please. Can I volunteer to drive for the day? Please? Excellent name.
Man Alive. Over the years I've seen some intriguing stuff. Yhis one tops 'em out. Kudos to the designer of this one. Whee-oooh
Glad you liked it!
I'm officially putting 'Stumpinator Operator' on my list of jobs I'd like to do.
It is more satisfying than other oddly satisfying videos.
Hell yeah 😎
A simple bucket and some skills would get it out just as fast and in one piece. Maybe I am wrong.
Jon Mcadams you are totally correct that attachment I feel is worthless
@@molyoxide164 It is certainly unnecessary, messy, and cumbersome. I want to see a bucket take a similar stump up side by side. Then I will make my decision final. Lol
I think he's breaking it up on purpose so it's easier to burn instead of pulling the whole stump out and then trying to cut it two pieces later
Man those stumps are really in there to lift the back of that machine
It took some work but eventually they give up.
What an unreal tool for the job. My friend had a feild to stump on his piece and this would expedite the process nicely. How do the teeth hold up to rocks? We grow em big out here in Maine.
I haven’t had to test the tooth-to-rock stamina yet. I can state that bees are no match... stumps as well😬
Bus Huxley that’s all you need is another toy to play with. No matter how old we are, boys still like to play with toys, just bigger toys.
Especially if they come with diesel fumes!
the back 4 teeth. Have you considered an alternating offset to each side?Thus as you rip thru..they are cutting a wider channel.
Richard Elbe that's actually a very good idea.
Hook looks good but it’s easier and less of a mess to remove the stump with the hook if you dig around the stump then pop it out in one piece.
But then it won’t fit in the grinder which is why we do it this way.
The bees call it "The Destroyer of Worlds" lol
Thats funny...Just like Humans..The destroyer of the world LMAO. SO FUNNY!!
I loved this video. Dude handles the machine like a boss.
Thank you, sir.
Cool, powerful machine. 👍I need one of these for my birthday
You should cut the roots more. Before the main stump. Think you'll find that a little easier on the machine.
Goes to show you how strong a tree truly is. It's picking that excavator up.
That's a tiny excavator.
I think you did a good job on that attachment God bless you please keep making more good attachments
I didn’t make this one, chris.
You know theres at least one bee trying to sting that
They were nasty out there!
You guys with the excavators have all the fun.
The truck lifted up when he tried to pull up the stump.... Them roots ain't no joke
Thanks for finally getting a machine that would remove the stump and not remove the lawn if it exists
I'm here after watching a three part epsom salt video series that went absolutely nowhere!!!
Hopefully this video was better...
That was oddly satisfying when the roots came up..kinda like pulling weeds and the whole root comes out....or popping a pimple
I do not advise using this to pop pimples😬
Haha ya no doubt
That looks like some mad rooster, beak,comb, and determination. That would put on a show in a live Osage Orange stump.
Too many pieces to clean up.
You should watch Andrew Camarata with his mini excavator dig stumps quickly without all the pieces to pick up. I will say it's a cool machine ... stumps should fear the rooster!
It can't handle bees?
Probably. But I had gotten stung in the ear the week before and the whole side of my head and neck was swollen for three days.

AWESOME POWER !!! VERY IMPRESSIVE. WE NEED ONE OF THOSE IN CONGRESS.
Only one?🤔
Fine piece of machinery and great operating skills,,,thanks
Wonder what happens to the waste wood. Bet it's full of dirt and stones but is it recycled or just burned
It’s chipped up and sold. That’s why we break up the stumps. To go through a chipper.
I have an ex120. .but takes lots of digging to get a whole stump out..this rooster would sure make quick work of previously timbered land
And it makes what’s left more manageable for a smaller machine.
You are a very talented operator; WOW! Great job!
Isn't Dynamite more fun? Lol
Napoleon that is
Yes it is. Making stuff go boom is much more gooder
Super cool! Thanks for sharing!!
The video is good but the system doesn't work
LOVE the Angry Rooster. Thats a cool tool...
"remove stumps the COOL way"....
yet i saw not even a gram of c4 or even symtex... 😕
Excelsior production.Good for shipping,stuffing furniture,taxidermy.
Seems like alot of extra work to clean up the shredded pieces.

Sadly can't do that anymore because of government meddling.
Diesel Ramcharger My Dad used gelignite to take out huge stumps in the mountains. They were giant Eucalyptus trees, so wussy softwoods.
I too have heard mention of giant Douglas fir stumps being lifted into orbit with dynamite.
Chergui n'anime

Looks like balance weights are needed on the back end of the excavator. Just like a crane.
I thought it was going to be explosives but this was cool too!

Yeah but you get fat and lazy if you're not careful!
The rooster thing looks really scary! Mighty efficient too! Amazing 👍
Is that a home made item or is it a item purchased from a company?? It's to cool!!!!!!!
May work good with soft pine and dry loose dirt but not with tough Burr Oak!
I took on a cottonwood stump that day and it was not easy.
Ten-4, ever use a Rome K/G blade on a D7 or D8?
cletrac 12c never heard of it?
I have a video on here its Stump Splitting/ Caterpillar D7G with Rome K/G blade removing 6' stump. And Cat D7E with Rome K/G blade Clearing
Well now I’m going to check it out!
That is very cool
I would suspect that you have it a little bit easier with the ground having a very high sand content and those trees didn't look that old either. Do you think you'd have a tougher time with an older tree with better established roots in a more earthy landscape? Great design, looks fun.
yea, every tree in this video looked dried out. A large fresh cut tree would laugh at this machine.
If the stump was from a live hardwood tree, you would need to go after the roots first, then roll it out of the hole. Then drop it in the bed of the boss’s pickup.
Effective but the cool way uses way more explosives than are actually needed.
They work great on any stump you throw at them. I have one for our cat 320 and have taken out many stumps over the years with it.
@@donaldtrimmer7611 use a mini nuclear bomb lol
That is absolutely awesome!!!! Much better than beating the hell out of a dozer trying to pop them out.
When I heard that Rooster crow at the start I was waiting for "Skibidi, pap, pap, pap" haha
Lol big shaq
The angry rooster is the way to go for removing stumps.
Is it not illegal to destroy bee hives? I thought they have to bee moved ;)
I've never heard of it being illegal. If these were honey bees, I would have them relocated but these were yellow jackets. Pests.
That's what I ment but I wasn't sure, it definitely is in the UK... For honey bees anyway, But I said it more for the pun :)
And yes yellow jackets are evil!
That's un-bee-lievable !

You didn’t like my paint job???🤣
Northwest Sawyer
Lol. Oh boy I had to look at it again, I didn’t see the eye 😆 sorry it looks great.
I was thinking of something with a bit more color🐔
That beak sure makes short work of those stumps though. Do you have to haul that stuff away or can you burn it?
The reason we use the angry rooster is so the stumps are broken up enough to go through a chipper.
Nice job 👍
That’s cool but takes too long. Get a dozer...
Better be a big dozer, or your gonna take longer. Unless you use a V blade
Now I just gotta find out how to put these pipes and electrical lines back in my front yard.
That’s a different video
When I read 'cool' ... I thought C4 or somethin - this was way better :)
🤣🤣🤣
Although it's a lot more fun just setting a charge and blowing the stump out, I have to admit this way is a lot more sensible and faster than digging a hole for the charge. Makes a lot less small pieces of kindling wood too.
Wow, you have some seriously good driving skills sir!
I wouldn't mind doing this for a day on a nice cool 70° Spring or Fall day...cute little toys.
I could do that all day. Excellent 😎👍
