Actually we shouldn't be so critical of this young man especially if we haven't walked in his shoes. His first time and he used the equipment that he had. Bravo my friend hang in there and don't be discouraged.
Dude had no idea what he was doing. Looks like adding blades to the edges, the thumb as well, would help to cut the roots. It would probably work great as a trench digger. That's probably what it was originally meant for.
As he stated in his description it was his first time. It was good to see that attachment in action. Convincing me my machine is too small for it. Thanks for the post.
I love guys like this... They call up the local rental yard and have something they have only seen from 40-50 m away delivered to their driveway. I love it when they call me, and the calls start like this, I can basically charge what I want if I can "Get it out and make it run again" .. "you have something that can turn over an upside down Bobcat?" or "Do you guys have a small crane that can lift a small tractor?" or the most often called one involving rentals " I've got my tractor stuck in a hole"! I love Hank Hill, he's a good 12% of my business. This guy just needs a bit more stick time, it also doesn't help that it's not really the right piece of equipment . This guy sounded like he had fun, he got the stump out and importantly, no one got hurt! well done!
some years ago i had a tree stump like that, at 9.0 oclock am, i sprinkled some corn around the stump and let the hens out, by 10.30 am, the stump was out, no damage to the lawn eather. what a tool.
What I finally learned (at my advanced age) from this video is the correct name for what a "skid steer" is. All my life I just called them "Bob Cats" no matter the brand. For that I am happy to have watched the video.
Just a little advice. Small bites are more effective. Level out the bucket, dig shallow, make square around tree. Continue to make square deeper, give stump a push at the top and see if it is semi loose. If so push it over, if not make square deeper. Eventually, you will push the tree over, switch buckets and cover hole. May need to add more dirt. Only a few trees have really deep tap roots, I learned those trees weren't worth my time while clearing pasture. After all your trees are gone, just rent a stump grinder for the few trees with long tap roots.
you did great for a first time operator. ive been an operator for 20 years now and I got my start on a skid steer. you did a hell of a lot better than me my first time!
Excellent idea! Charge the customer $500. for the stump removal and $800. for the lawn repair. Plus it keeps the help busy. Good way to make a buck. I like it. Shhh! Don't tell them there such a thing as a stump grinder.
that worked great Nate, my wife hired a young man 18 it took him all day to get a stump out half that size, the video was fun to watch kept rooding for you. you won.
push with your stump bucket straight with your push arms...start away from the stump, work toward the stump, you have no power with the end of the stump bucket, use it only to cut roots, then to push the stump over...Be special sure the roots are all loose on the side you decide to push from.
so not impact your tilt cylinders thinking you are gaining power, you are killing your hydraulics, be smooth...work the dirt off the stump while it is stihl attached to mother earth.
I was just trying it out on that stump look at my next few videos I had a f****** bulldozer in there so yeah stupidity should be punished what are you going to do to yourself asshole
@@mrnate4280 no doubt posting this video has become a humbling experience for you from the comments I've seen. It keeps us from becoming too bragadocious. I have found during my working life people who are cocky have a tendency to screw up the worst and some have even killed themselves. There will always be someone to tell you that they are better. So what? They don't pay your bills do they mate?
Looking Good Mr. Nate ! Now when you've had your fill of Shy town you can come home and let all that frustration out and go med-evil on trees and brush with thing ! It works pretty slick ! Bandit
I've learned how to take the forks and dig out roots around trees with them to get it out. Use what you got and figure out how to get most out of it. It never hurts to try. Your going to dig up the country side by the time your done with it, And you can make a good video about the durability of that thing ! Bandit
I owned my JD7775 skidsteer for 23 years and asked my job applicants “ can you run a skidsteer? Almost everyone said yes. Not one of them were telling the truth.Just like all these keyboard commentators talk the talk but I’ll bet most can’t walk the walk.
I sold my CAT D7 and still have some minor grubbing to do. I think I'll start looking for a stump bucket of my own! I'd have made a mess too probably until I got used to it:) PS...Let that machine run at idle for a minute before you shut it off!!! That is a death sentence for your turbo.
+Tony Childs right on Tony thanks for that bit of information. I got a lot of flack for this video I didn't have a lot of hours behind that machine or that attachment but I've definitely came along way since then. I plan on doing another video soon
Mr Nate just keep trying working at it and you'll get it. Like you said it was your first time and all these idiots on here making sarcastic remarks. I've worked in a quarry for 26 years and I know heavy equipment. I know machinery and nobody gets on equipment and knows it right off the bat. It's cheaper to do it yourself and have fun learning to run different machinery and attachments. Good job. Don't leave the wannabes and morons get to yeah. As for leaving your equipment idle down for a while is very important.
@@mrnate4280 don't pay any attention to the idiots that are bitching. I guarantee not a single one of the idiots leaving negative comments have never operated any sort of equipment and assume it's easy. Looks like we have a growing number of keyboard operators.
I hope its a rental. You stretch the hydraulic hoses to a dangerous point. Ever had a broken hose or fitting shoot hot oil on you? At least the hoses were covered with protectors. Good !
That was pretty impressive. It's a good thing you're redoing the landscape of the yard, otherwise you'd have to answer to the wife for tearing up her yard with the skid steer. LOL Stay safe.
I find it a lot easier to get the stumps out if the trees still attached. More leverage that way I'm able to pull most trees the size of that one there out with my little half ton Ford. Sucks when they snap off though you can avoid it if your careful. Nice video by the way people are giving you way too much grief for your first time
If anyone around West Virginia has stumps they want removed just save your money, I'll remove them by hand and the damaged area will only be slightly larger than the stump, I will fill the hole and smooth it off too. I charge $20-30 for a stump that size depending on how hard I think it will be, takes me 20-40 minutes for one that size and I even haul the stump and debris away. Looks fun running that though, hopefully it pays for itself.
Nice.... Might just be the way it looks but it looks like the hydraulic lines are catching on the edge of your bucket and getting stretched pretty tight when you tilt it all the way down. May need to tie them up somehow....
Where I'm at in NM, I could see this working on "Bear Grass" plants, but that's about it. Wow the circle of damage, at first I thought we were starting a pool dig, and thank God you didn't find the Gas line at the propane tank
Now that is a machine to reckoned with... Although it sure does seem to make more of a mess than a stump grinder, but It does do a better job for certain.
Small skid steers like this have very little weight in the front. Also this is a tire machine which is pretty much only good for jobs on hardpack surfaces. Hes using the “weight” of the machine to try and push the tool down in the dirt and the “traction” of the machine to break the roots. This wouldve worked way better on a bigger tracked skid steer in my opinion. Still wouldve torn up the yard and your left with a big hole to fill in, but hey, you have a skid steer and a bucket right?
I`d b too embarrassed to show such a display of machinery abuse and my incompetence at machinery operation and complete blissful ignorance of those factors if this was a video of me. Interesting times we live in. Takes allsorts to make the world go round I guess.
dennis hamlin He won't be able to make a living doing it but for one of only he did well. The ground was wet poor traction no pushing power it's only a small machine
It always takes some time to get used to a new piece of equipment. Once you figure out how to use the leverage of the long bucket it'll go a lot faster. Apparently there's a whole bunch of professionals in the comments section.
A single fork on a pallet attachment would do a better job. You should never put that much strain on your tilt cylinder. Instead, dig the bucket in and drive forward while dumping and raising at the same time. It will give you a lot more leverage.
It's actually pretty decent I just didn't know what the hell I was doing it was the first time I had ever used it and hadn't had much time in the skid steer either
Clean the dirt from around the stump with a spade.... Would take all of 30 seconds to cut it off at ground level. Put an inch of dire over it....allow it to finish rotting out on its own. Even if there was a nail or wire in it......far cheaper to buy a new chain !
Ok in the first 2 minutes it took to hook up the (quick attach ) stump bucket, quick had left the building and died, and then at 9 minutes I noticed your sitting on top a propane line next to a 200 gal. propane tank with a running motor . I kept waiting for a explosion but what I saw was someone who obviously was on his 1st day driving a loader because he doesn't have a clue that anyone with just a bucket could have gotten that stump out on the 3rd try but I did love the ,, are we done recording?
I'm debating buying a stump bucket. I already have a brush grapple so I'm undecided on a grapple or not. Likely not. I do like the fulcrum style over a straight. I think it gives you better power. I rent an excavator to do this size now and use pallet forks close together for little stuff. Hmmmm...........
The trouble he had hooking up to the attachment told me I was about to eyewitness a complete and utter disaster. And it exceeded my expectations 🙄🙄
He had it done in 13 minutes and first time using the machine., awesome if you ask me.
Yes that hook up was the very best indication of sit back and watch the rest with plenty of shakes of your head and why,why,why.
Actually we shouldn't be so critical of this young man especially if we haven't walked in his shoes. His first time and he used the equipment that he had. Bravo my friend hang in there and don't be discouraged.
"Young man"😅😅
Seems to me a stump grinder was in order, less mess.🤔
he was smart enough not to cut the stump short !
Well, that just convinced me that I don't want a stump bucket!!!
Snicker Doodle In the right hands, it's a great tool. Don't judge by this operator.
IT WORKS WITH A OPERATOR THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE IS DOING.
Dude had no idea what he was doing. Looks like adding blades to the edges, the thumb as well, would help to cut the roots. It would probably work great as a trench digger. That's probably what it was originally meant for.
I have a CID extreme stump bucket on a bobcat s570 it will run circles around this one. Even dig out ironwood stumps and move big rocks easily
I hope so ....you suck as an operator....jeez I could hardly watch
One other thing .....that attachment sucked too.
5 minutes in and I knew the comments would be gold
It took you 5 minutes? At least the dude has a sense of humor about himself. AND he is still alive. LMAO
As he stated in his description it was his first time. It was good to see that attachment in action. Convincing me my machine is too small for it. Thanks for the post.

Painful, this guy should hire someone who can drive a machine.
WOW im impressed!! tore up a 40' diameter hole and the whole yard!!!

Evelyn Woodcock . And, I’m betting that they were merely Banti chicks. :)
Lmao! That’s a good one.
Awesome attachment that is one big stump for a small machine. Very efficient machine size to stump size ratio.

Wouldn't it be quicker to let the damn thing rot?
mike priestley . Perfect!
@Jonathan MOORice maple...smart guy
Mike priestly nailed it..
not if you want it removed...wt?
Great job, I would love to try one out on our land.
you did great for a first time operator. ive been an operator for 20 years now and I got my start on a skid steer. you did a hell of a lot better than me my first time!
+sdk4422 thanks man I appreciate that 40/50 stumps later I'm a hell of a lot better now
Lol the camera operator at the end sounds realy fed up
"Are we done recording?"
16:55
how come I feel like this may become a ...sure it will hold my beer! great tool for the job
DLK HAY wouldn't do a bad job opening it either LOL
He sure fixed that lawn
Nothing but BRUTE FORCE, Looking Good Man! Great tool for the task.
Karl Brohammer yeah I really like it
Nice landscape to the lawn
Excellent idea! Charge the customer $500. for the stump removal and $800. for the lawn repair. Plus it keeps the help busy. Good way to make a buck. I like it. Shhh! Don't tell them there such a thing as a stump grinder.
Looks like a great implement for the farm, but I think a grinder would have been better in that situation.
that worked great Nate, my wife hired a young man 18 it took him all day to get a stump out half that size, the video was fun to watch kept rooding for you. you won.
Howard Younger thanks Howard LOL
No need for me to comment on his skills you guys got it covered,lol.
Yep. Makes a good case for an excavator. And, operator training on the skid steer.
+David Sonnen that was the first time I ever used it it's actually a pretty good tool if you look in my later videos
Was any consideration given to using chain saw and cutting the stump off at ground level? Would have been easier and probably quicker.
And then a stump grinder..... what a mess.
push with your stump bucket straight with your push arms...start away from the stump, work toward the stump, you have no power with the end of the stump bucket, use it only to cut roots, then to push the stump over...Be special sure the roots are all loose on the side you decide to push from.

He turned a $500.00 job into a $5000.00 job! As I was growing up, My dad would say: "stupidity has to be punished".

OMG, the hookup, that's as far as I could watch lol.
I was just hoping you wouldn't dig up, or break the gas line for the LP tank! I assume it running to the house....
Appears to work pretty good. My old triple nickel ford backhoe takes a bit longer. Thanks for posting.
zim zim I'm sure that Triple Nickel does the job though it's not how it works if it's if it works
Looks like a ditch witch would make a circle around the stump then push and cut the tap. Good video, Thank you.
I wouldn't have that compony remove a tree in my yard. Just take tree down and get stump grinder. Nice and neat.
That attachment did a good job - saved the back
Donald Ellett sure did I love that thing man
Bothered me watching him hoook that up😂
Works good. Good thing you have a windshield on the front of your skidsteer, that thing really flings the dirt!
and she can make her fly lol
**Quick attach** === NICE ATTACHMENT!
Pick and shovel comes to mind.
Made one heck of a message, but worked perfectly.
He forgot to dig the roots that go under the porch and under the propane tank
this so painful to watch!!
Lol. Must be his own unit. Dang.
Looking Good Mr. Nate ! Now when you've had your fill of Shy town you can come home and let all that frustration out and go med-evil on trees and brush with thing ! It works pretty slick ! Bandit

How can hot oil shoot on you when there is glass between you and the lines??
I just learned quick attach doesn't have any taper in their SSQA making it harder to attach, but it does save bringing an excavator along.
+MinnesotaEric I actually got the hang of it that was the first time I ever used it
I could see from the shiny paint this was a new attachment when you made the video. Nice video, mate!
+MinnesotaEric thanks Eric
That was pretty impressive. It's a good thing you're redoing the landscape of the yard, otherwise you'd have to answer to the wife for tearing up her yard with the skid steer. LOL Stay safe.
Nice way to tare up the yard
Only reason I kept watching was to see the hydraulic hose burst.... even with that in mind I couldn’t bare to watch past 4 minutes.
About 20 minutes and it's out - not to bad - a mess to clean up - good way of doing it
Donald Ellett that was actually the first time I used it on I'm a lot better with it now
What a mess. That's dang awesome tho. Looks like fun.
Your a wild man Mr. Nate lol
big D fan lmao
Looks like a kidney belt would be an asset.. Sometimes with bigger roots it helps to start farther from the stump and work your way in.
Phenomenal control
I'm thinking the operator felt like he'd been ten rounds with Mike Tyson after the beating he took! It was brutal watching this video!
That had to be one of the most painful/frustrating videos ever! I had to fast forward a few times.
suuper !! destroys anything in the garden
Great job for your first try!! I did have a good laugh reading the comments though :-)
Yeah I know man I was definitely a novice. Funny thing though iron about 250 bucks a month off that video LOL
It is better to try and fail,than fail to try!
Pro tip.
18psi in tyres,turn machine off while connecting and disconecting hydraulics.😉
18psi for a spongier grip or for broader weight distribution?

Had a doser coming in the next day. Was just trying it out for the 1st time.
Now that is a machine to reckoned with...
Although it sure does seem to make more of a mess than a stump grinder, but It does do a better job for certain.
Joseph Florentine yeah I probably should have waited until a dried-up up a little bit but I was pressed for time
I'm leaning towards keeping the stump
that boy needs more practise

Chuck Stevenson thanks man I appreciate it thanks for watching also

Takes allsorts to make the world go round I guess.
dennis hamlin He won't be able to make a living doing it but for one of only he did well. The ground was wet poor traction no pushing power it's only a small machine
He needs a bigger and heavier skidsteer, but doesn't matter who does it the yard is a collateral damage. Grass will eventually grow
Good news the stumps out, bad news so is the lawn.
+Toms Chevelle it was really wet but it really didn't matter because I had a dozer coming in if you look in my later videos
He reminds me of when I first started operating skid not so good . But now iv got over 15,000 hr under my belt in time he will get better .
7i811t by by 8u
Glad I watched this before I got one,,,
A winch and a few snatch blocks to the surrounding trees would have been faster and yard wouldn't be torn up.
Looks like you had fun though.
Had a dozer in there a few days later wasn't a big deal
i am glad your quicker because you could not be any slower. I made it 4 min 42 sec.
Damn I could of hauled a D4 over shoved it out and hauled it back in that amount time. Needless tool!
Forks work that well and they lift a pallet also
I kept waiting for that LP tank line to rupture :)
It always takes some time to get used to a new piece of equipment. Once you figure out how to use the leverage of the long bucket it'll go a lot faster. Apparently there's a whole bunch of professionals in the comments section.
YOU SHAVE THE GROUND NOT STAB THE GROUND
Saw it off about a foot above the ground and put a potted plant on it. Your yard would look a lot better.
A single fork on a pallet attachment would do a better job. You should never put that much strain on your tilt cylinder. Instead, dig the bucket in and drive forward while dumping and raising at the same time. It will give you a lot more leverage.
Thank You for the video. It convinced me not to buy that P.O.S. attachment.
It's actually pretty decent I just didn't know what the hell I was doing it was the first time I had ever used it and hadn't had much time in the skid steer either
This should be on TV Bloopers!!
Clean the dirt from around the stump with a spade.... Would take all of 30 seconds to cut it off at ground level. Put an inch of dire over it....allow it to finish rotting out on its own. Even if there was a nail or wire in it......far cheaper to buy a new chain !
Better than watching a 3 Stooges movie...
Glad it entertained you
well a stump grind would of worked but I wanted to reseed my yard anyways. The deep ruts just add personalty to my yard.
After you bust the seals in the lift arms a couple of times, you'll wish for a stump grinder.
I've had it for over a year and a half still havent busted any seals
either gonna blow the seals to hell and back or bend the cylinders.
is that Mr nate or the dirt ninja. That's a pretty slick attachment. good job bud. I see you hit 1000 subs. congrats man. Well deserved
God of Sod right on man thanks so much
In other news... you don't have to till the new garden spot anymore.
Ha ha ha what do you think ? Are we done recording ?
Nice bucket!!! We thought about getting one but our tooth bucket works good!!! Congrats on a 1,000 subs!!!!
Excavating 320 right on man thank you
I'm definitely going the stump grinder route
Looks like the machine lacks down pressure because of all the added counter weights. Awesome tool though.
That quick attach sure took a long time to attach.
I think the tree won.
So much for the lawn...
Tore up the yard quicker than he did the stump. If he sunk in anymore around that tank I would’ve thought we were at Jed clampett’s house.
The proper way to use a stump bucket is to get under a root and with upward pressure allow the teeth saw the root while pulling back!
Ok in the first 2 minutes it took to hook up the (quick attach ) stump bucket, quick had left the building and died, and then at 9 minutes I noticed your sitting on top a propane line next to a 200 gal. propane tank with a running motor . I kept waiting for a explosion but what I saw was someone who obviously was on his 1st day driving a loader because he doesn't have a clue that anyone with just a bucket could have gotten that stump out on the 3rd try but I did love the ,, are we done recording?

grapple is the best attachment I've bought for this machine.
