HOW FAST CAN I BREAK A STUMP BUCKET?

Published 2024-06-06
A few years back we created our first GWT product—a stump bucket for small tractors. After seeing all the stump buckets available on the market, they were just too big for small loaders and the risk of damage was real.

So we created a small bucket and called it the GWT Mini Stump Wrecker. Since then we've released its bigger brother, the HD Wrecker, and now we introduce the first prototype of its bigger brother, the Mega Wrecker.

But we have to change the product names and we'll explain why. Then we'll give the Mega Wrecker it's first test to see how it performs.

Good Works Tractors is happy to be sponsored by Rim Guard Solutions! This is perhaps the most well-known ballast brand on the market today. Rim Guard goes right inside your tires, so it's out of the way, it doesn't freeze, and doesn't corrode. It's made from natural materials, so it's safe around livestock and pets if it spills out. Rim Guard liquid ballast adds more weight to the back side of your tractor improving stability, loader performance, and power to the ground. Find your closest dealer at bit.ly/3d0whX0

  • I want to thank you for showing your testing on the maximum size stump wrecker and the fact that you bent it. Most will not show you what goes on in testing. It shows one can trust the equipment that you produce as it is tested to the failure state and then made strong enough to handle the equipment you suggest it to fit. Again, thank you and have a Blessed Day.

    This is one of the things I love about GWT. Your open honest reviews of your products. I will be in the market for a sub 40 hp tractor around the end of the year and have a list of items that I would love to get from you.
  • @deweywallace6314
    Our school bought one of these for our Kubota 3650 tractor a few weeks ago, and I am totally impressed! I have removed about 40 stumps, the largest being an oak stump about 20 inches across. But for the last 3 days, I have been digging a trench through hard-pack limestone, and this thing rips it to pieces! I thought I would have damaged or broken the teeth by now, but nope, they are fine. Very happy with this purchase and you could say it has already paid for itself, it saved me renting a trencher. Great product!
  • Really like the fact you show the field testing - makes a difference from picking up an oversea's unit. Thanks!

    Hey Courtney, just wanted to comment on the stump wrecker(oops , stump remover) I purchased from you last year. I believe mine was the HD and purchased for my JD 2032R. It is performing better than I can ever imagine. The first few stumps was a learning curve and sheared a few bolts off seeming every stump I tried, I am going on like 12 + stumps now and no bolts shearing off. Taking it easy and picking away and the stumps will go. My opinion, after more than a year and more than a a couple dozen stumps, you have a great design and would highly recommend. Again its a learning curve as with any equipment. Treat your tractor right and it will treat you right. Thanks for your great videos and content.
  • @PurpleNovember
    Put some gussets over the top where they bent and make the gussets into a step supports.
  • @stancarden7011
    I have the HD on a 55 Hp and I love it. A little bit of a learning curve to get the most out of it but it is a real work saver.
  • @sandwon
    Great that you do all this Research and Development. This is how you make a Great product.
  • @gjm5591
    Thanks for sharing with us your successes and failures. By doing so it shows me transparency & gives you credibility. I like that & as such will buy an attachment from you for my tractor.
  • @willlyons8776
    My GWT bucket rocks! The MRS has some fun with it at times.
  • @StumpkillerCP
    I have one of the mini wreckers of stumps for my 1025R since last year. Does stumps and roots and a credible job of trenching and transferring dirt and gravel to focus areas (like tire ruts and landscaping with medium size rocks). I did put a bend in one of the little side teeth. ;-)
  • @gpriest1965
    Hey Courtney, I have missed your videos. I hope things are OK with you personally. God bless, and take care!
  • @mb42mb42
    Your videos have been much more polished in the past. Really enjoyed the better content and flow in those.
  • Those are pretty nice looking stump buckets. Unfortunately, I was looking for a stump wrecker. 🙂
  • @michaelthorp365
    I live in Florida and just went to rim guard. I need more weight and tire was loaded with water. I still did not have enough weight using my grapple. Looked at wheel weight and it would cost just as much as rim guard so I went with rim guard finding someone in Florida was made easy contact rim guard and they had someone local they came drained water filled tires and I am very pleased with the rsults. My tractor is much more stable
  • If you gusset inside the upper wedge where the loader plate inserts, make it wide eough for a Gehl or a Takeuchi. Mine won't pick certain Bobcat branded attachments because the gussets prevent my plate from inserting into the wedged pocket. Cheers.
  • @phild9813
    Love my stump wreck…bucket. How about offering a set of HD teeth for the compact tractor version? I’ve mangled mine up pretty good out here in the rocks and hard dirt in the desert of Wyoming. :)
