Great video, Dash. Thanks for taking the time to show the bucket in action.

Thanks for making the stump bucket video so quickly. I think you convinced me that it can be a suitable alternative to a backhoe for the easier/lighter digging jobs. I have a Titan fork frame with the built-in hitch so I should be able to duplicate what you built. Just need to increase my beginner welder skills and learn to use the plasma cutter I bought recently. I think I will give it a try sometime later this year. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great video and content! I am pumped about this!

Dash, that works great! After I get my you-know-what together and build a rear ballast set-up, and mod my carry-all frame with lower lift pins & make it quick hitch compatible, I think a stump bucket is next on the list. A low cost, effective attachment that doesn't take up a bunch of room to store. Very nice!

Reasonable results considering the low investment. The ability to cut and weld is very nice and well worth the expense of shop tools required to fabricate. Nice work.

Great video and very helpful.

good job It is always nice to make your own

Thanks for showing the bucket in action... now I've got to have one.

Nice job, may have to make one

Great job Dash...it's fun to watch you build your tractor arsenal! We just took delivery of our 3025E last Friday, and we're having a blast using the grapple to clean up around the property. I look forward to making a bucket like yours some day in the future. Keep up the great work! Tom

Fantastic bucket. The price is very good and quality is high. Well done.

Good to see people like you creating solutions to problems instead of throwing money at them.

You should try making one with a different shape... With 2 different bottom plate angles. Hard to explain without a drawing but, when you tilt the FEL a little to make trenches, you make the bucket with a section that will remain parallel to the ground, so that it won't try to always dig deeper. I am pretty sure that would work great for trenching and it will still be as useful for digging tree trunks. But great work! This kind of bucket is a nice addition for any tractor.

Very handy looking implement.

*Turned out really nice!* I guess it's worth the money and effort to make it.

I think that would work well for planting most anything... And for $ 60 it's a no brainer.. I plan on making one as well. Obviously I have some welding and assembly experience so it's just a matter of the material cost.. I have a slightly smaller older JD so I'll refigure the size.. Well done..

I really liked the way You used it to dig the trench The only negative was the soil build up at the sides Getting the soil loose is the important 1st step Ken in Florida

FANTASTICA MACCHINA 👍👍👍👍 👏👏👏

I think maybe that stump bucket remover would even be better yet if it was built a little longer for digging holes

I think that would be very useful

Nice, it does what you need to do. I was at the dealer a couple days ago and they want nearly 9,000 for a backhoe for my 2038R. I can rent a mini excavator the rest of my life when I need it for less than that lol. The bucket will not replace a backhoe but for use around my property well I’m sure it will do at least 80% of my tasks

Even though I have the backhoe this looks like a good tool to have. I have the 1025r and I love it 👍🏻👍🏻

A tree that size you simply push over with the loader and then dig it out with the loader in one quick movement. For larger trees I've used a chain come along to pull large trees up stump and all. Todays as a senior I keep an old backhoe around the farm for digging and taking out trees without all the work. I've dug up trees that weighed as much as my case backhoe. At any idea the scoop is a nice idea but not sure about the strain on the bucket cylinders. Perhaps something better would have been a cutting bar that the tractor will skim the ground with cutting out small shrubs quickly.

Maybe have an adjustable drop hitch to keep the loader frame above the ground. Nicely done sir!

Nice! I saw the earlier video, but is the only attachment of this using the receiver tube on the fork frame? Looks like the frame is the limit to the depth? Thanks for the video!

Bucket needs to be whole length of that frame that it's attached to in order to get the depth ypu need to accomplish your task otherwise you're defeating your purpose when you've got both sides of that frame knocking the dirt back in or stopping you from going deeper.. Other wise, a Great Idea. !

Nice build! What are the dimensions/specs?

you need a small wheel or skid on each side of qt frame to keep bucket from pulling front of tractor down and keep depth of ditch even

Sorry for the skepticism but it looks like a good way to tear up something on your loader to me. I've never used one but I think you could get more done using a middle buster on the three point. Worked great on the small tree ... not so much on the trench

Do you have video of youmaking bucket or do you have list of what id need to build one,,just bought a 25 hp farmtrac and i need something like this

How would this attach ? I have a JD 3025 with a front bucket. How can I get a stump bucket?

I put a real nice Jenkins stump bucket /grapple on my green lemon 5055e. It has cracked my 553 loader in seven different places! My first five green lemons were great. This 5055e is junk. It will be my last green lemon product.

4:45 - I could lay pipe almost anywhere given the right opportunity. But seriously, I really like your stump bucket. I need to learn to cut and weld metal. I could buy more tools and learn a new skill. That's a WIN WIN for me! If mama asks why I want to spend a few hundred dollars for welding equipment, I'd tell her it's better than spending thousands for a backhoe! BAM! She's onboard!

I am about to buy one of these for $650. Going to use it on my 2305 (older version of the 1025). Building a 100' by 40' passive solar greenhouse, and need to dig down 2'. This won't be fast but it will do the job.

You must not have much rock like we do in Idaho!! And your ground looks a lot softer!

The wife is going to be so mad when I tare up the back yard lol

That’s pretty good for a toy tractor

Maybe use it at a 90dg angle to shove to make a trench.

Are you still making videos, Dash?

I’m sure it has it’s purposes but I don’t think backhoe is one of them. In my opinion

Hello, how can we contact you?

How about a print out of how it’s built and a material list? Put a nominal fee on it nothing is free. Somebody always winds up paying in the end.

Flip that bucket around and drag it backwards. Let us see you try that.

$60 bucks????

i think thats a good way to damage the complete outfit the tractor is to small of the hard work

Useless
