Just received and installed a root/ frost ripper onto Kubota M59 TLB modified with quick coupler that mates to the Kubota KX excavator series of buckets and tools and was mentioned in earlier thread ( Backhoe - M59 backhoe quick attach) started by Smokeydog.
In another thread ( Digging stumps SA425) started by Scott440 I mentioned I spent two hours trying to remove a 20+ inch stump and gave up after making poor headway. The 12 inch excavator bucket couldn't break the roots and I didn't want to dig a 10-12 foot dia hole to get stump out.
Spent two hours and stump is out of the hole. Hole ended up about 5-6 feet in dia and 5 feet deep. Broke 5-6 side roots of 4-6 inch dia and tap was massive.
More fun with quick attach backhoe tools.
