- Digging Out a Stump with a Compact Tractor Backhoe
I used the 270 B backhoe on the John Deere 2038R compact tractor to remove this tree stump rather than grind it out.

At Rock Hill Farm and Homes we upload new videos at least 3 times per week, about our 20 Acre hobby farm, our John Deere 2038R compact tractor and other equipment, and the businesses that we run.
These businesses include a manufacturing operation, a Christmas tree farm, real estate investing, a lawn care business, and an online retail store. I demonstrate how I am able to use these ventures to earn a good living without a traditional job.
We have some cool toys and always think outside the box on our little homestead so come along for the ride.

Had my little 1025r for 9 months now have the hydraulic thumb on the backhoe. I still enjoy digging out stumps. Have spent hours digging holes. I guess entertainment comes in different forms. Might go make another hole today. Thanks Brock. Fun watching you digging holes too.
That stump put up a fight! It was good to get it dug out considering your future plans.
Thank you for watching and for commenting. Have a good day
Nice work, persistence and patience always wins!
Dang! Bigger project than I thought! Thanks for the lesson!
Thanks for watching
IMHO even though it took some time to remove, it was still the correct decision.
Down the road if you caught that stump with a bottom plow or tine of some sort you'd most likely break some equipment. And you'd still need to remove the stump.
Good work! It paid off in unknown future dividends.
By the way, the backhoe pallet is awesome 👍🏻
Yeah, a helpful viewer suggested digging it out rather than grinding and I think it was right.
Thanks for the feedback
@@RockhillfarmYTyep. I saw his conversation in previous video. I think he and you were correct.
Brock, I have found if I start farther away from the stump than you think, then work inward, you break all the reaching roots first. It seems to make loosening the stump happen quicker, more like an apple core
Thanks for the feedback
Those tap roots are always a hard part of a root to get out. Sometimes they go pretty deep and are solid, depending on the species of the tree. Good job getting that out of there. You'll appreciate it not having an expensive baler bounce over an old stump.
Yeah, I’ve only done a couple of these but that’s what I’m finding out. Grinding them is easier
Thank you for watching and commenting
Brock you are so right stumps are bigger where you can not see stump digging is turf and satisfying when out
God Bless All

I’ve only dug out a few since I had the Backhoe but I underestimated how long it would take and how big of a hole I would have to dig on all of them
Thanks for watching
That stump is huge. We don’t have any trees that big around here. Great video thanks
Thanks for watching
Good video, I enjoy digging up stumps or digging anything, have a LSMT125 subcompact. Does a good job for what I do.
That’s all that really matters. Thank you for watching
This is why I love cedar trees! 🤣🤣
It was definitely stubborn
Great video thanks!
Thanks
I’m glad to have that area clear
i have dug out a large number of various size stumps by hand when i was younger and the last 5 years i have dug out a large number with my 1025r backhoe. i just got a 1p24 bauma light stump grinder last weekend to grind stumps that are to close to other trees and objects that you cant dig around or destroy root systems on trees next to a stump.
Thanks for sharing.
Running the baumalight stump Grinder is definitely faster but sometimes it’s better to dig them out
Quite a task! Great job!
Thank you.
Got to stop for a breakfast call. Can't blame you for that. Besides that stump will still be there.
Instead of always referring to icebergs as having "the tip of the iceberg" with way more underneath, maybe the phrase should be, "That's just the tip of the stump". :)
Yeah, it’s crazy the amount of chips this generated
It looks like the bucket is moving pretty slow. You should rev It up.
Most operators run full throttle on backhoes and excavators. It should also give you a little more power.
Lol I could almost smell that fresh dirt. Carrying that stump around in the backhoe while you filled the hole was looked like giving your puppy a new bone lol.
That is great
Question
What are the draw backs from getting into that hole and chainsawing the stump off below the dirt line and then just burying the chunks?
Is it the dirt clinging to the lower part of the stump?
Couple different answers there.
That would work but as you mentioned it would probably dull the chain from the dirt as you mention. On our property I also tend to run into a lot of rocks in the root system
The reason I dug this out was to not leave a stump underground that would later rot out and caused the ground to sink in but the lower you cut it the less of a problem that is.
Once I dug it pretty far down I figure I might as well finish it off.
The final reason I didn’t do it that way: I didn’t think of it so thanks for the suggestion. That option may come in handy in the future
It depends on the type of tree, the age of the tree, etc.
Some trees have tap roots and some don't.
I'm looking at buying my first tractor. In addition to other work (ditch/driveway maintenance, mowing 5 acres) I have 4-5 old stumps (12") that I need to dig up. What size/HP tractor would you recommend?
30 hp minimum
Apparently patients & time are needed for stump removal with a BH. I can't wait for my weekend to be spent doing just that. Luckily, that will be in a couple of years from now. I am not ready to tackle that project just yet.
That’s what I’m learning.
Thank you for watching
What rpm are you doing the backhoe work at?
Idle is around 800 RPM. I do most of my digging between 1000 and 1200 RPMs.
When you rev it up you get a little more power but the controls get really jerky. It operates really smoothly at idle
@@RockhillfarmYT I think you are way to low on your RPM's but great video...
Thanks. At idle you have about 90% of your max strength on the backhoe. Turning up the PMs just makes it jerky
@@RockhillfarmYT I think you would get used to the jerky movement the more you use it but if that works for you. That's the way to go... I have just found your channel and its a really great one... I have a 2032R with 270 B backhoe got a little over 1100 hrs. on it. Ben Drooling at your Curtis Cab and install There goes more money.. LOL
The Curtis cabs are great.
Before I bought my tractor I watched tractor time with tim talking about why he runs the RPMs low when he’s using the backhoe. Probably just personal preference
That’s a lot of hours. I’m almost to 400 in my first year but I haven’t seen many people with that many hours on One of these
