Hi Alan, I was able to move it around, but had been struggling without a chain on hand to pull it out, yes if I were to do it again, I would have taken it out. Cheers and thanks for watching and commenting.
Congratulations! I love meeting other Ross', first or last names! Awesome. Let me know if there is anything you'd like answered, and I'll do my best to help out.
the whole time you were wrestling trying to get the stump out of the hole, i was thinking... "wrap a chain around that and lift it out with the loader"
You are a pretty good BX operator, you know the curl is the best way to get the most pulling power. Try using a battery powered sawsall on roots in lieu of the chain saw, works great and wont dull the chain. I wish you would of hooked a chain an pulled it out, I wouldnt of given up and buried it, that is defeat my friend. Cheers
Ya I agree with the sawzall for sure. Too much dirt for my chainsaw. Funny story, I don't own any chain and only had light duty ratchet straps... I do consider it a fail I didn't get it out. 😭 Haha. Have a good weekend.
To get rid of big stumps, drill big holes 1/2 inch or bigger, deep as possible and saturate with kerosene. Cover for the night and saturate the next day. light it up on the third day. The stump is dead, so it'll be dry. Never bury a stump because when they rot they will leave a hole in your yard.
That machine is a toy for kids to play with in a sandy yard. Would never pay 20,000 plus. I rather save more money or take a small loan and buy a real backhoe. Those machines are over priced. This machine brand new should not cost more than 16,000.
![[25] Pulling a Giant Ash Stump (Kubota BX23s & Bobcat e45)](/img/n.gif)
Im always amazed at what these BX tractors can do. I wish I would of bought mine twenty years ago.
I agree Steve! So amazing. I wished I got a cab but other than that, it is perfect for my needs.
Great job pulling stumps. That Kubota is kicking butt!
Thank you! I sure does and it'll be even better at it once I learn how to use the BX better haha! Thanks for watching.
Great job Ross, R.I.P tree stump 😂, it’s incredible what we can accomplish with these little tractors 👍🏻
Yes it is!
It was a perfect example what the machine can do. We’re always learning on these! Enjoy it!!
Thank you! That was a really fun day thank you for commenting. Always learning is important.
Great job!
I wouldn’t bury it there. As stump rots, it will create a void in the ground and will sink in.
That's a good point, I will move it eventually, or just toss more dirt on it when it does. But yes I should have moved it. Thank you for watching
Great job Ross !
Thanks very much. Have a good weekend!
LOOKS LIKE FUN TO ME
Very fun! Thank you for watching
You had it up in the air a few times! I'm sure you could have gotten it out.

Hey! I’m Ross and I just bought a bx23s last night 😂
Congratulations! I love meeting other Ross', first or last names! Awesome. Let me know if there is anything you'd like answered, and I'll do my best to help out.
Thats one of my favorite things to do is run the backhoe on stumps!
It is fun. This was only my 2nd stump pull ever on my brand new BX. Didn't know much haha.
YOUNG MAN ,
FOR BX TRACTOR EZ AS PIE PULL STUMP OUT
the whole time you were wrestling trying to get the stump out of the hole, i was thinking... "wrap a chain around that and lift it out with the loader"
Thank you, I shall do that next time. I don't have a chain at all yet, but it's in my list to get. Thank you for watching.

Watching this video makes me happy i ordered the b2601 instead of the bx23s. Im impressed with the power of that little tractor tho
I am just on the cusp of wanting more, but remind myself that it's better than a shovel! :) Thank you for watching!
Looks like you have some good dirt up there. Quite the hole you had to dig.
Yes we do, except where my house is, that's a pile of rock. The builder obviously brought in giant rocks as fill around the house.
Bolt or weld a hook on the front of the bucket wrap a strap around it... put it in Low and drag it out
That is definitely on my list of things to modify on my tractor. Thank You for watching.

Thank you for the suggestion, I have a few more to do, and will try your suggestion. Have a good day. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Kubota BX23s pulling MASSIVE stumps!
Thank you
That is a tiny stump, Try that with a 20" oak tree.
I would like to try! It was a fun day on the tractor, no matter what I am doing.
WHY DID U NOT USE THE THUMB TOO
Yes I have tried to but still getting used to learning it. Only 70 hours on the tractor. So lots to learn. Thank you for watching.
FIND THE IN OF THE ROOTS FIRST , THEN WORK WAY BACK TO THE STUMP , U WANT BOUNCE SO MUCH ARE HURT YOUR BX EITHER
Very good point, thank you for the tip. Thank you for watching!
NEXT TIME , BUY KUBOTA L 2501 LOADER TRACTOR WITH GEAR DRIVE TRANMISSON MORE POWER THAN H S TRANMISSON / BIGGER FRAME AND MORE STABLE TRACTOR !
Will definitely look at other tractors but am super happy with the all-around usefulness of the BX on my 6 acre property. Thank you for watching
