I'm pretty impressed with that stumper attachment! Those pine trees definitely anchor into the ground. A company I worked for years back used to take a 18 inch sewer bucket and mount it on a 300 komatsu excavator and dig stumps out. It was definitely one strong machine.

Oh I was hoping Betty would show. Well, as you said at the end of this vid, she should be making her appearance next. Nice job on those stumps. I could hear my mom & dad say "Where was he when we wanted to get rid of those cedar stumps". We had some HUGE old first growth cedar stumps in our yard: 2 were 6ft high and at least 40 in across (maybe larger). One my mom just planted things around & let the plants go wild. The other she spent 5 years slowly burning it away. Nice work, Chris.

Hi Chris, I noticed that your thumb bounces when you stab the boom down into the ground. 9:40ish mark. Is that a seal going bad or is there some kind of cylinder safety play built in on that machine? Or maybe it is just the way that progressive link sits when the thumb is all the way up…

The costs of power for a farm especially the powerlines and the power provider etc is a huge cost originally. Here many farmer's are developing their own solar farms purely for their own use and running car's and milking equipment as well, actually saving huge monthly payments to the corporate world, but then again it's exspenise just for the sake of having it unless it's profitable business, small hydroelectric plant are even better if river's on property, and of course wind as here it's very windy.
