Can't find stump bucket

[JohnFourteenSix]

I'm trying to find a stump bucket available for purchase, but the only one that turns up is the titan one, which seems to be out of stock. Everything else I see is SSQA. Is it simple to convert from SSQA to JDQA? I see there's an adapter plate but it seems that this will cost me some power.

I typed "JDQA bucket" in eBay,,, this popped up,,,

Yes, but that's double the price of the Titan one. I was hoping there would be some other cheaper equivalents! But perhaps my main question is in relation to converting/using a SSQA bucket with JDQA ($675 + $200 shipping)

I recently purchased a 36" Stump Bucket for my Kubota L3560.

The tractor hydraulics lacked enough power to withdraw the SB from the ground unless exactly via the insertion path. ( 1,775 pounds FEL lift spec. at the pins.)

I feel confident saying your JD 3032e will not be able to handle a Stump Bucket.

Here is what I bought, then soon sold to a Skid Steer owner:

I have had a lot of experience with the Ratchet Rake bucket attachment and a Bucket Solutions' Bucket Spade which led me to believe the SB would work on my Grand L Kubota, but I was sadly mistaken.

Note: we are both working Florida soil.

I'd be mainly using it as a shovel though. Would be loosening the dirt via a subsoiler attachment in the back, and digging it out via the stump bucket in the front. I don't expect to be able to dig in undisturbed ground and get a chunk of dirt. I've also seen "clamp-on" shovels, but those are perhaps too small.

Based on my experience I recommend the Bucket Spade.

You work hard for your money. You should spend your money the way you wish.

 

[JohnFourteenSix]

Are there bigger bucket spades for that?

 

[jeff9366]

The three volume Bucket Spades are from Titan, Paumco and Bucket Solutions.

The BS/BS is forged and the heaviest of the three.

The Titan and Paumco are pressed steel and/or welded. Unquestionably, the BS/BS is the heaviest and highest quality with very secure attachment to the FEL bucket. BS/BS will tax your Deere PLENTY.

Keep in mind you will need at least 650 pounds of Three Point Hitch counterbalance in order to excavate with a BS.

Jeff, thank you very much for all the info! I will sift through it soon!
