Got a bit tricky when I tore a valve off a front wheel. Too bad about the lawn.
Got that pesky bamboo out at last.

That was painful to watch.
Next time consider some ballast on the 3 point end. Better yet a chain around the stump and pull with the drawbar. Put a little distance between the stump and tractor with a load in the loader bucket.

Wow, several things on the DO NOT DO LIST. No ballast on the rear which would have been very helpful. Bouncing the tractor while perched on the front wheels, bad for front axles, FEL and tractor frame. Letting the load shift back onto the tractor, very dangerous.
Glad you got it out but it would have been much easier to just put on an implement on the back, hook a chain around the clump and pull it out using the drawbar.
You were very lucky not to have damaged your hood, turned over the tractor or worse.

Definitely a “not how to use a tractor” video. Tractors are made for pulling, not digging from a FEL. Anyway just hope the machine keeps working for you!
Also noticed your ROPS is down...not good at all.

Yes I know there were a few things I should NOT have done. I took off my flail mower so that I could move around better. The weight would have been useful. Larger tractor down the line when the other farm sells.
ROPS? yes I agree. I took it off so I could get it in my barn and it will be going back on when I build my new barn.
Not arguing with any of you. I know I was very naughty.
@ the old grind. LOL It is a tough little machine but I thought Kubota were OK.
It was getting late when I finished.

I'm surprised you didn't permanently damage that right front tire after you spun it on the rim and broke the bead seal.
When I remove giant reed grass (very similar to bamboo), and I can't pry it out with my bucket or forks, I dig out each side then then throw a chain around the roots and pull. It usually just tears right under the roots and pops out the other side, but that at least gets them severed all the way through and I can then roll the stump out of the hole.
