578 Big Power. Little Tractor. Digging Stumps. Kubota BX23S Sub Compact Tractor. BT603 BackHoe.P2 4K
Overview
This is a real-world stump-and-grading job, not a spec review: a neighbor brings his own Kubota BX23S with BT603 backhoe to pull two stumps from a raised, driveway-side hump so cars stop scraping bottom. It shows actual digging (stumps out in 43 minutes), bucket work moving dirt, and honest leftovers (a rough hole, boulders, gravel restrictions from nesting turtles). Best for owners curious how a BX-class backhoe handles real stump/grading work, not buyers wanting specs or a walkaround.
