Stump removal with my B2650 backhoe.

[FELMOW2320]

Got tired of mowing around it so i drcided to take it out I used BXpanded's ripper attachment to cut through the roots.I had to have a little help from the F250 to get it out of the hole.

I got a Bro Tek ripper tooth on my hoe and it doesn't cut roots fer shyt. Perhaps I bought the wrong tooth.

Harry at BX has been good to deal with.Give him a call.

Very impressive. How long ago was the tree cut?

Not for sure how long.I worked on and off for 3 days.Probably about 6 hours total.Biggest problem was the roots going straight down under the stump.I couldn't reach with the hoe so I had to dig the dirt out from around them with the ripper and use the saw to cut them.

That's a biggun, what's the diameter at the cut?

I would say it's about 24 to 30" across.I guess I need to measure it.

The tree was cut about 2 years ago.

How long does the ripper stay sharp?

I don't know how long it will stay sharp.This is my first project with the ripper.Hopefully a long time.

That's not very long. All the more impressive that you were able to get it out and do such a good job.

Thanks for the compliments.It's amazing what you can do with a small tractor.

Did you file teeth into it?

Did you file teeth into it?

It comes with like a serated edge cut on about a 45 degree angle.

Every dealer I have ever talked to says little tractors can do the same jobs as the big ones, just takes a little more time.

What's the difference in the two?

Actually, I was asking Dickfoster sbout his BroTek ripper tooth that he says is no good. I have one, but haven't used it yet. The front end is sharpened like a knife, but is NOT serated. I was thinking of filing or grinding in some teeth like the bxpanded one has.
