Overview
This is a real-world stump-and-rock removal project on a Yanmar SA424, not a spec walkaround. The owner digs out the stump with the backhoe, pulls a 3,000+ lb rock straight with the tractor, then rigs a Harbor Freight snatch block and cable for a 2:1 pull to finally pop a stump wedged around buried rock. Useful for owners curious how a small 24hp/3,500lb tractor handles real digging and pulling limits, with practical ballast and traction tips.
