“Pleased with it's heavy duty construction, range of movement, etc... Rated it 4 star only because the flat face hydraulic connectors required changing to match my tractors existing connectors. Wouldn't have been that big of an issue except the brass adapter is some kind of odd npt/metric mix... Required a lot of road time to several supply houses and hyd. hose shops to eventually give up and find a machine shop to do it. Choice of connector styles should be an option.”

“Purchased this bucket just recently and glad I did. This thing is a beast, tank, and all around bad boy when it comes to ripping things up. It does a good job as a stump bucket, but it paid for itself as it ripped up a 5 inch thick concrete driveway. Thank you for an amazing product. Will be ordering more for my skid and will send pics.”

“Thank goodness I bought this before I started to clear several acres of trees! It allows me to pinpoint energy where I need it. Very efficient when digging out stumps. I can't imagine trying to use the corner of a full size bucket to do this. Great product and works like a charm with my bobcat skid steer.”

“I will have to agree, it is a beast. This is my first experience with a stump bucket but I have spent plenty of time (years past) digging out stumps with a regular bucket using a small 743. Not very efficient and hard on the machine. I couldn't decide if one with a grapple was necessary for me as price was a factor and my regular bucket is a 72" 4 in 1. After looking at several different stump buckets I came back to this one. My machine is a 1845C and the unit almost fit. Had to widen the lower slots by 1/2" per side to the center and change out the couplers but no big deal. So far, until the rain got me, I've taken down several small to medium trees by digging around their base to get the roots cut and then pushing them over and lifting out. Largest tree was about a 80" pine with a sizable stump that took less than 15 minutes to dig out. Great. Oh yeah, definitely glad I went for this one with the grapple. Definitely speeds things up not having to change back to my 4 in 1. Is it perfect, no, but very close. I've used it enough to realize the opening could stand to be a little larger for brush and it needs a little overbite for reaching over and down to clamp around tree trunks. And yeah, a step on each side would help for sure. Very satisfied. Almost forgot, super fast shipping too.”

“This thing is a beast....BUT....it looks like it was welded together by someone that had no idea how to weld. Very disappointed about the welding and a few pieces of metal they used were very rusty and painted over. I have worked the heck out of this so far itâ€™s holding together despite bad ugly welding. I really wish it has some type of step on top of it when getting into the machine. It would be easy to hurt yourself if you slip and fall into the teeth of the bucket like I did 12 stitches in my leg later....I suppose I will weld a nice step on the top of each side myself. After all said I have NO regrets in buying it. It really gets the job done I have about 30 hours on it now.”
