BX24 First Stump Removed

[montelatici]

I have had it a week and I removed a 42 inch stump. This stump was all that remained after a tree fell and the tree company wanted $1,500 to remove it all. It was about 3 foot tall. (Tree fell in a storm and I was able to handle the tree with my Stihl chainsaw but the stump was another matter). By reading some posts here I followed the technique of digging about 3 feet away from the stump all around and then going in closer and digging some more. It took about 3 hours of digging and then about an hour of levelling after burying the stump in the hole I dug.

Awesome way to save 1500 bucks, take that off the total of the tractor, when you hit zero then you're really laughing !!!

My wife, who frowned when I told her it was time to replace our 22 year old B5200 came home today saw no stump and actually said, "we should have bought one (backhoe/loader) years ago" and asked questions as to how I removed it! It was an imposing stump.

My wife ... actually said, "we should have bought one years ago" ... It was an imposing stump.

Given today's achievement, the little wife must see you as her "imposing man".

Naw, she gives the credit to the machine. She concluded there was nothing imposing about her man 30 years ago.

30 years is a pretty long time for a couple today. Given all that time, you must be doing some right... if not imposing...

"if not imposing..."
