Removing Two Stumps With The Werk Brau Ripper And Grading Rake

- Removing two maple tree stumps with the Werk Brau ripper and grading rake. This is at a customers house I use to mow, he had two trees cut down in his front yard and now wants the stumps and roots dug out to hopefully finally be able to have grass in this area. They came out fairly easy but one of them was right on top of the irrigation line, so I spent part of my day finding the other end of that and repairing. I was doing this job for my dad's company so he brought the dump trailer out to load the stumps in. I'm definitely loving this rake for cleaning up roots and brush. It seems to do a great job of getting the roots and less dirt even though it looks like I got a ton of dirt here lol. Now its ready for some dirt then sod. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #WerkBrau

Those rippers work so well for this and frost. It amazes me the number of guys who think they are saving money by not buying one. Then they proceed to tear their machine apart trying to yank stumps.
Oh I know they are awesome! I wasn’t sure when I first got it I was like I’m sure I’ll use it some 🤣 I take it on every job now. So much easier on the machine. Thanks again for watching
you are so right ,that ripper does `werk` well
@@tomwainwright7102 hah, I see what you did there. You certainly caused me to furrow my brau as I thought about your comment.
@@DieselandIron good game , don`t you think....playing with words.
@@tomwainwright7102 well played
Nice to have those attachment. Makes life easier.
Yes it does. These are very handy
Love my WB rake
It’s a great attachment
That’s another good job done by you Mr Elite, you make a mess and then it’s all beautiful again when the jobs finished .
Thank you! Yes it will look nice with sod on it.
Nice job removing those stumps, always fun watching those things getting ripped out 👍
Thank you! It is satisfying I agree
Good video and not to long I like
Thanks I try to keep them around the 20 min mark or less
🔥🔥🔥 GOTTA LOVE THE SMALL JOBS!!! Fun vid as always my brother!!!
Yes sir! Appreciate you watching buddy
Definitely love my ripper! So much easier and a lot less mess. Great video!
I agree it’s a great attachment. Appreciate you watching
Looks like you done the right thing with the attachments you bought. Several other jobs as well as this one make them pay for themselves👍🏻‼️
I agree these two attachments are great! Makes life a lot easier. Appreciate you watching
Love that rake and ripper it made short work on those tree stumps and roots great work 👍
Yes they are awesome attachments. It’s a great combo. Thank you!
Maple roots are bad enough in the woods but when they grow in a yard that gets mowed and sprinkled they never do bury. They just lie on the surface and suck water like a straw!
Those stumps were all that the Koochie wanted. Weren’t they?
When I was 14 I started yard working after school and weekends at one of those Victorian Mansions here in town. The sprinkler system had been put in about the time I was born... the owner didn’t have a sketch of the layout. But, he believed he had a photographic memory of where every valve and line lay.
My opinion was that his photograph had blurred. Because every time he told us to dig... the trench was off at least a foot. We always turned the sod over to be put back on top when finished, as he insisted the grass be seamless when finished. You can imagine how much of a pain it was to keep moving the sod over to find the pipe..
One day I suggested that we dig perpendicular to the line. Then turn once we located it. He thought I was a pretty smart kid. I never told him I was just lazy!
You did show MrsE just how handy the rake and ripper were on this job. Didn’t you? The ROI for them should be above 100% for this year... and that means... capital availability for next year!!!
It seemed to handle them just fine, it probably would have picked up a little more. Not sure how I missed this comment the first time. Yeah sprinklers are a pain especially trying to find ends of a system you did not put in. Yes you are correct they have more than paid for themselves. Appreciate you watching
Excellent entertainment Brandon , great work .
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
Great video. Have a great day.
Thank you! You too appreciate you watching
That’s ripper works good . I need to make one 👍
It’s really handy I love using it for stumps and clearing
@@eliteearthworksllc yeah stumps are a big pain for me .
Well, that is a deep subject! lol Never fails you find something when digging. lol
Lol every time
Great video
Thank you!
Good job, nice video.
Thank you!
Nice job Brandon! See most of your vlogs first I’ve seen the rake attachment it’s a must have. I really miss the comedy of you and Chris working together lol. Stay healthy and safe from Alberta 🇨🇦
Thank you! The rake is awesome I use it all the time. Lol it was a blast working with Chris I’m ready to go back lol.
@@eliteearthworksllc if I wasn’t in Canada I would work for free for a week for you or Chris just for the comedy
great video buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Thank you 👍🏻
Great job, Brandon. I do have to say that in all my years working in psychiatry, I've never once had call to use the Werk Brau Ripper and Grading Rake. LOL (that's an attempt at humor!) Your finished work looks nice and neat.
Thank you! Lol good one! Appreciate you watching
You have some handy attachments for that mini excavator. Looking good.🤔🤪
Yes makes life easy 😁
He with the most attachments wins 😂
Nice one, Brandon. We do miss you in NC, I was just kidding with my "no" remark when you asked over at Chris's if we missed you. ;)
Thank you! Oh I know I thought it was funny 😁
G'day great video mate
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
Howdy Murphy!
@@firecaptaintom1977 G'day FireCaptain Tom
Nice, you paint the wheels on dump truck, nice shiny black .
Thanks man! Trying to clean the truck up
Happy Thanksgiving 🍽
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Great job Brandon. Yeah hard to find lines that you didn't put in.
Thank you! Yeah it’s a bit tricky
Well done. I have a theory that earthworms move PVC pipes underground, they push them as much as six feet from where you buried them, and bring them to within six inches of the surface. Earthworms love practical jokes.
Thanks! 🤣🤣 I’d believe it cause you never dig those pipes up where you put them 😁
Dan... Enigma solved!!! Been wondering why every single conduit and pipe was found 6” from where it was marked. Thanks for enlightening me!!! 🤓
That middle finger ripper does a great job ! That was a tall order for that dump trailer ! Lol. Looked like a 12/14k. Came out great ! Irrigation is a pain in the balls !! Lmao
Lol yes it’s handy! Yeah it was a bit much for that trailer it’s 14k rated. Oh I know irrigation lines piss me off 🤣
I’ve got to get a ripper. Machine looks like it isn’t under much stress at all. Hopefully Santa can bring me one lol.
Yes it makes a huge difference. So much easier on the machine. Hopefully he does too 😁👍🏻
I know a guy that had a shirt just like that one!🤙🏻👍🏻
Me too 😁👍🏻
Kinda weird, while I was watching the video, an ad popped up selling the TRK rake for an excavator. Thats some good product placement. Most times its an ad thats got nothing to do with the video you're watching. Good job again, stay safe.
😂
🤣🤣 yeah that never happens. Thanks again for watching buddy
@@eliteearthworksllc
I'm waiting on that "Yanmar" adv., you're going to hafta
@@TheArchangel38401 lol I just got this excavator a year ago plus when I do upgrade it will be another Takeuchi. The yanmar is too small and tippy for me
The right tools for the job. You def have a great set up. Real nice job bud !!! You hiring ???
It does make it easy! Probably not right now with going into winter maybe spring time you never know. Appreciate you watching
Good grief! Brandon's hat actually comes off 😁
🤣 not very often people complain about my bald head
👍👍
Thanks
That root rake is awesome. Once it gets interlaced in a pile you're going to have some dirt loss. Especially if it's wetter than you'd like. What's that 260 weigh? I have been eyeballing them. The wife (Ball and Chain), hates the idea. She thinks the value of money is static, until she buys something to replace what she bought 20 years ago.
Yes it’s a handy attachment. The 260 weighs just under 13,000lbs. It’s a great machine lots of power and very balanced. Lol just buy her some more shoes. Works for me 😁🤷🏼♂️
Still think you should show changing from the bucket to the ripper. Give the full experience
It’s the exact same way, I have pins in every attachment so I hit the button in the cab and can hook on to whatever attachment
@@eliteearthworksllc yes but showing that on camera lol
Ok I’ve done it in a few videos when I was clearing but I can film it again
Around my area Silver Maple and Spruce are the worst for surface roots. It sucks chasing them with the grinder.
Yeah those are bad here too. I imagine it would be worse with a grinder.
Did you increase the speed on your thumb? It seems a lot faster. Good video.
No I haven’t been able to figure it out. Thank you! Appreciate you watching
Does that root rake attachment have replaceable teeth to shanks? Thanks for sharing. Have a good weekend.
No it’s just tines but it should last quite awhile with brush. Thanks for watching
what kind of a rake bucket is that does a great job.!
It’s a Werk Brau brand. Very handy
@@eliteearthworksllc( thanks)
Dirt+rake+watter=mude pies.
🤣🤣 yes it does
hows the dump truck running i hope good as well
Doing great! Especially now that it has a new driveshaft between the back axles. No more vibration. Runs 80 smooth as silk 😁 Appreciate you watching
Okay, if you could only own one machine and rent the other, would you own the mini Ex or loader?
Really depends on what work you get more of. I started with the loader and rented the excavator. But if you do more digging or trenching then the excavator is the one to get
I’m looking at buying the same rake. What is the width of the rake and the size machine you have it on?
It’s a 36” rake on a 12,000lb machine
What brand ripper and root rake? Thank you!
They are both Werk Brau the rake is a 36” one
We’re did you get the ripper?
Ordered it through my dealer from Werk Brau
Landscaping is definitely time consuming and seems like monotonous work most of the time but it for the most part is more profitable in the end.
Yes it is definitely a slow go. That is true sometimes it is
😎😁😊😋👊👍😚👌🤙💯💯!!!
Thanks
Why did the home owner want all the roots out? I understand getting rid of the stumps
Cause the roots were on top of the ground and he didn’t want to dirt over it and have lumps in the sod.
Maples and pecan trees tend to have a root system that runs very shallow and sometimes on top of the ground. Makes cutting the grass a sometimes expensive job when the mower finds one. Catching one with a foot makes for an uncomfortable landing.

😘....oh wait, your kiss was for Brandon? My bad ☺️🤷♂️
@@DC-1 🥰😁
@@mrs.eliteearthworks looks like Brandon got to the root of this job! Haha, i’ll be in town all weekend, dont forget to tip the waiter 🙄😂😂
@@DC-1 oh yes! He was stumped at first, but then he rooted out the problem 😉😂
@@mrs.eliteearthworks 😂😂😂
that rake is a clever bit of kit is it not
I think so too. It’s very handy
LoL I just hear the intro of your work, I don't have to watch the full video..
Nice all about saving time 😁👍🏻
The worst trees to dig by are locust and elm. In my opinion.
I agree with you on that! I had two elm trees at my house before the tornado. All it did was debark them, it took me 9 hours with a Cat 420 backhoe to dig out the stumps. It was terrible
Them dang roots are awful!
Yes they are. They go everywhere
No offence but that is a lame looking thumb. Why don't you weld some teeth on the outside so it looks like a real thumb. I did it on my Kubota KX 121. Made it way better for grabbing things. Otherwise nice job!
Thanks! Yeah I may do that at some point it works for me. It’s a much stronger thumb than the tag one that came on it. It lines up with the ripper and 12” bucket great too
@@eliteearthworksllc
ha ha ...
touching base with a fellow Y-tuber in N.C., I recall he created a 'marketable' thumb for excavators, engineer something that's profitable? ;)
I know lol now if I can just get him to make it in the size I need
