Stump bucket for 60hp tractor - what length, type is best?

[drunderw]

I am looking at an Ironcraft stump bucket at my local dealer vs a GWT HD stump bucket to order. Overall length is a concern for me as I wonder if the Ironcraft is long enough that it risks damaging the loader more than the GWT stump bucket.

What are you all using and how have your experiences been?

I would be using on a Kioti NS6010C HST.

At 4,500lbs your not going to be doing that much with a stump bucket. Not nearly enough traction to dig into dirt, much less a stump or roots. I have a 1.5' wide bucket spade & my similar weight Kubota L4060 can barely get it into the ground. It took me 15-20 minutes to dig a hole big enough to plant a 6' tall live Christmas tree.

1300 bucks will about pay for a smaller PTO stump grinder btw.

I wouldn’t put a stump bucket on a tractor. On a CTL a stump bucket can do some work but a tractor loader isn’t made for that abuse nor are they strong enough to do much good.
