I have just purchased a Cat 303.5C CR mini excavator. I really enjoy it and the time just flys when I'm in it. One of my applications is grubbing 1"-4" thorn bush and other similar sized trees. I have tried using both my 24" digging bucket and my 36" tilting trenching bucket. I find that when I use the digging bucket, I end up pulling up lots of earth. I find that the trenching bucket works well when I tilt it and use just the edge to cut then pull up the roots. Problem with the tilt is that the thumb doesn't work with it and I also wonder if digging with the edge of the tilt will eventually damage it.
Any advice from the experienced 'grubbers' as to what is the best work tool for the job? Also, any usage techinques / tips would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
