- This video demonstrates tree stumps removal of various sizes with a Kubota B2261 4WD Compact Tractor using the Rhino Root Ripper on the front loader.
The Rhino Root Ripper is an implement I made myself that is designed for cutting roots and taking out stumps using a very strong 15 mm thick curved cutting blade on the front loader of the compact tractor.
The B2261 is a European B2 series Kubota 4WD Compact Tractor with 26 hp and with a LA424 Front loader attached combined with an original 3P front hitch.
In another video I show how I created the Rhino Root Ripper

This homemade ripper works better than any root bucket I have ever seen. Impressive.
Thanks, the rhino ripper works great indeed.
It actually did a better job with less mess than other methods I have seen. Thanks for sharing.
It works really well indeed. Also taking up the stumps with the sharp bended nose works very fine.
Looks very Heavy duty, well built. Never thought such stumps can come out that way with little mess . Now mowing will be a breeze.Nice demo.
Thanks! It does work very well indeed. The curved shape of the blade dives well underneath the roots for cutting. And the sharp upward tip also helps to lift the stumps out of the ground when cut off.
That thing is a beast! Works really well.
Thanks! It works great indeed!
Looks like it works great! Awesome job on the build!
Thanks!
The Rhino Root Ripper you built does a great job and eliminates the super large hole normally associated with removing a tree root. I watch ed your other video where you made the root ripper and it seems quite sturdy. An excellent build and a quality tool in your arsenal of tree extractors. New Subscriber! 👍🏽🤠 10/12/23
Glad you like it! And thanks for your subscription.
That works amazingly well. I had my doubts when I first saw it but it does great. New subscriber here.
It indeed works great. Thanks for the subscription! 👍
Well done. I am glad I stumbled upon your channel. Keep up the good work. I made a version similar to yours that bolts to pallet fork frame for a b2650. It works surprisingly well. Once again thanks from Southern Illinois.
Thanks and nice that you made your own version that works great as well. Very good to share ideas in this way.
Great to see that ripper in action. Thumbs up !!
Thanks, it indeed works great. I can really recommend to spend your welding plate on this.
@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries Thanks. I will get one in the works pretty soon
Succes!
Brilliant video great product
Thanks and glad you like it!
Hello from Oregon USA,
Nice job.
Couldn’t help but notice those interesting tires you have there.
Thanks. The tyres are Garden Pro from Galaxy. These are available as a standard option by Kubota Europe, next to the real agricultural and lawn balloon types.
Skilled driving is a real plus
Thanks
Thanks!
You have made something so simple but so effective you should sell these you could get 1200$ all day or more. your build is better than any of the stump buckets.
Thanks for your compliments! And yes, it works very well and still use it a lot.
I have something similar on my backhoe, it really does work awesome. That’s an awesome design for the the front. Good work!
Thanks. It indeed works very well, making stump removal even a fun job to do. :-)
That really impressive was such a small tractor and not having to dig a big hole to. Really like your idea
Thanks! It really does work well indeed.
Fantastic design boss! Looks amazing on camera :) it looks like it can go super deep. Most trenching buckets would chew up more ground than this awesome design.
Thanks, it works really well indeed. This way it has become fun to remove stumps.
Tap root is the problem . Love the idea . Great job !!job tractor skills
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing that works really good ☀️😁👍
Thanks! 😊
Great tool!
Thanks!
Excellent tool
Thanks!
I’m gonna build one! Thank you for this wonderful idea!
I’ll make 2, one like yours and one that curves down to pull things down like clearing vines from fences.
Thank you for this great idea!
Thanks Tom! Nice to see that you already have your own ideas about it.
Be aware that when pushing down there is a pressure force on your hydraulic cylinders. No problem as long as you limit the force and/or the extension length (see also my video about this subject: czcams.com/video/PPK6CCL4uzQ/video.html).
@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries Good point, will do, following thank you ☺️ most merry Christmas!
@@tomcook5813 Merry Christmas from the Low Countries!
Nice going good tool for sub compact tractor
Thanks 👍
Ingenious
Thanks!
that is an elegantly simple design. Could also be useful in trenching or outlines in digging
Thanks and yes you're right, elegantly and simple and works very well. And indeed useful for other functions as well, I also use it to pull up things.
well done!
Thanks!
Looks like a great way to bend your hydraulic cylinders.
There is no risk of bending, since removing a stump using the Rhino Ripper will result in a pulling force onto the hydraulic cylinders (for curling). This will result in tension in the steel cylinder bars. With tension you will never have bending, no matter how far the cylinders are extended. See czcams.com/video/PPK6CCL4uzQ/video.html for further explanation.
Simple design. Less resistance cutting into the ground. You will sell a million of these if you wanted to!
Thanks. Perhaps you're right, but it is not my intent to move into this type of business.
@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries I understand. What ever you pursue, may God bless your endeavors.
@@ronpage101 Thanks
@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries patent it and sell it to Land Pride / Kubota / John Deere lols
@Nickolas Vaessen A worldwide patent is very expensive (generation, filing, procedure costs) and protection is doubtful.
Heel mooi werk in de bossen ik heb zelf een kubota b7001e uit 1979
Dankjewel. Oersterk die B7001 tractoren. Ik heb zelf 17 jaar een B1600DT gehad (er staan nog filmpjes van op mijn kanaal).
i like it...
Thanks!
That’s a great design. Simplicity and strength makes fantastic design. I hope you don’t mind if I make my own?
Hi Dave, Thanks for your compliment and feel free to make your own. I'm curious to your experiences as well.
Genial saludos cordiales desde Patagonia Chile
Obrigado e cumprimentos de volta.
Muchas gracias amigo.. Quiero limpiar el campos y busco buenas ideas.. Saludos cordiales
@@juanantonio674 Chega de ideias aqui no youtube. Saudações de volta.
Stop giving me ideas.😀 lol
I need a brake from welding.
Very nice tool and good video
Thanks! And sorry, but more ideas will follow soon! 😊
Looks like it working great. My only concern is that when your cylinders are fully extended, they are weaker and can be twisted or bent. Enjoyed the video. Have a blessed day.
Thanks, good remark. It is indeed important to keep forces limited with fully extended cylinders. I generally use a low RPM and the force with extended cylinders is quite low since the blade is then only cutting in the ground. When trying to curl back under a strong root that won't break is when the force increases. And then the cylinders are almost completely in. Have a nice day too.
I also do loader work at idle and go very easy so not to break anything. But his design puts a lot less stress on the loader and tractor from it being so narrow. It's a really good idea
Thanks!
Great design
I saw a large excavator with a similar design but serrated edge was on the bottom and they used it like a saw and pushed down and dragged it backwards across the stump and ground it out by multiple splits from the top down on the stump
Thanks.
Pushing down and dragging backwards results in pressure within the hydraulic cylinders. I try to avoid these loading conditions since they can result in bending of the cylinder bars (see also czcams.com/video/PPK6CCL4uzQ/video.html).
@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries I followed up watching Your Physics lesson on Hydraulic cylinder theory
It was a Great explanation on how and where dangers are when working with the Cylinders
Your videos are Great
Thank You
Thanks again. And I"m glad you like them and that they were of help to you.
Awesome tool and skills using it. Put that on a geared tractor to get more torque to the ground would be even better. Hydrostatic transmissions give up too soon.
Thanks!
Great video, and ingenuity in design and function. What raw material did you fashion the ripper from? How did you decide to set the ripper like a rhino horn to tilt forward in front of the stump, as opposed to inverting and placing the ripper behind the stump while curling backwards - drawing it to you.
Thanks! The design and manufacturing of the Rhino Ripper is described in this video: czcams.com/video/nqPFDOAyS4g/video.html. That also shows the original materials that where used.
The front loader mechanics and hydraulics are designed for lifting, pushing and curling back. Things you typically do with a bucket or grapple. As a result the FL design is approx 1.5 times stronger in lifting than pushing down (or pulling towards you). Also there is no risk of bending of the hydraulic cylinders if you use it in this way. An excavator is designed the other way around, that is why you see rippers in the other direction on those machines.
In the link below I explain the FL mechanics:
czcams.com/video/PPK6CCL4uzQ/video.html.
The effect and quantification on the force direction (35% reduction thus 1/0.65 ≈ 1.5x stronger) is explained in: czcams.com/video/QbiYBSiK4ng/video.html

Thanks!
Question
If the pulled out stump were laid out how long would it take the rain to wash most of the soil from the root ball?
The next rain or several storms?
In my experience it takes quite some time to wash out the soil from the smaller slits and notches.
I’ve been thinking of making something like that! Only with dual spikes or horns 😅
Good luck with your own design. 😊
There are some advantages of a single blade compared to a double blade or a design like a stump bucket:
- A single blade has less resistance cutting into the ground
- The upward force from the front loader to break a root or making it loose is concentrated at one single point, thereby creating a higher force
- A single blade has a smaller risk of hitting obstructions that are not from the tree (e.g. rocks or other roots).
That's why I preferred a single cutting blade.
@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries I’m not doing a V shape stump digger like most are made….my design is similar to yours but with 2 blades for say!
Gussets towards the back for stability!
@@markcole6475 Why do you prefer two blades?
Imagine making 2 rippers that can be adjusted width wise to work on roots on both sides pf the stump at the same time
Maybe as attachments used on an exiting Pallet Fork mounting plate
Ken in Florida
Thanks for sharing your creativity! For smaller stumps this principle can surely function.
But especially for the larger stumps the single blade has the advantage:
- only one blade that needs to be positioned correctly under the roots give less resistance and smaller change of obstructions in the ground.
- total force at one single blade thereby all force focused at a single point at the root position in order to break or come loose.
- larger stumps tend to get a loose a little and then by rocking you can see where there is still some strength left of the remaining roots. This rocking is done easier with a single blade.
Nevertheless I like your idea. Using the pallet fork mounting plate provides indeed a general interface for these type of implements.
Impressive and no excessive digging and refill.
What is the length of the horn?
Thanks. From the ripper nose tip perpendicular to the welding plate is 60 cm. The widest part of the ripper blade is 22 cm. The plate thickness is 1.5 cm.
Thanks very much appreciated.
Hey,thats efficient!how much is this stump remover tracter?
The price of such a compact tractor is different per country and model. Better to ask your local Kubota dealer.
Heej, zag zojuist deze video. Ik wil dit graag maken maar dan om de grond in de paddock van de paarden los te maken. Hoe lang is de tand welke er nu op zit? Ik zou m graag iets langer willen maken maar twijfel over de belasting op de frontlader.
Hoi Danny, In dat geval kun je beter een device gebruik maken dat daar helemaal voor is ontworpen: een diepwoeler. En heel toevallig heb ik die een tijdje geleden eentje getest: zie czcams.com/video/oUxKhUmNQs8/video.html. Deze is instelbaar in diepte en wordt achterop de 3P gemonteerd en is daardoor zeer robuust.
Toevallig had ik hem net gezien. Ik kende Loocon overigens al.... ook de video over de belasting van de voorlader is top uitgelegd 👌. Waarom ik hem graag in de voorlader wil is omdat de paddocks maar 10x10m zijn en water blijft meestal aan de randen staan. Als de woeltand achter de tractor hangt ben je al snel 1 a 2 m verder voordat de tand op diepte is. Als de tand in de voorlader zit kan ik m mooi aan de rand an de paddock op de hydrauliek eruit draaien.
@@dannyfranssen7779 De afmetingen van de Rhino Ripper staan in de description bij deze video die ook het ontwerp en fabricage van de Rhino Ripper laat zien (czcams.com/video/nqPFDOAyS4g/video.html).
Zo lang je de hydrauliek gebruik om de ripper naar boven te draaien en de cilinders op trek belast loopt je geen risico, daar is hij op ontworpen (zoals ook in de video over frontlader bending wordt uitgelegd).
Let wel op als je gaat rijden met de ripper in de grond, want dan is het niet de hydrauliek die de kracht bepaalt, vooral gevaarlijk als je achteruit rijdt vanwege de drukspanning die dan op de cilinderstangen ontstaat.
How well do you like those tires
I do like them. They give good traction during ground work and digging (see videos on pond digging) but also save the grass field (see mowing videos).
I know they make a Ripper attachment for most Backhoes
Yes, but never seen them for a front loader.
What tires and sizes are you running ?
Type: Garden Pro. Size rear: 280/70 R18, front: 240/60 R12.
Very good design and works well. I am not familiar with a b2261. It looks similar to the b2601. What country are you in ? Thanks and have a good one from West Tennessee
Thanks. The compact tractor is a 26 hp B2 series from Kubota Europe. I am from the Low Countries in Europe.
Where can I buy one for my tractor
In the link below you will find a video showing how to make one yourself. Or you can ask your local black smith or metal worker to make one. czcams.com/video/nqPFDOAyS4g/video.html
Hope you patent your design. Would hate to see some big manufacturer reap all the rewards from your brilliance
Thanks, but worldwide patents are expensive and difficult to check upon. Not interesting without any business in this field. So it is copyright free!
Where can I get one?????
Best to ask your local blacksmith to cut out and weld it onto an interface plate (same as I did).
Can you build one for me?
I am not a commercial production facility. But if you go to your local blacksmith or metal working facility they should be able to make this for you or have a local address where they can make one.
Add this to a fork frame- now ypur talking.
Thanks!
