CHEAP & EASY! Deere 1025R with Toothbar RIPPING Out Stumps, Cost Effective Removal!

Implements & attachments25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

A casual, low-pressure evening job showing a 1025R and Heavy Hitch toothbar removing three decades-old arborvitae stumps, supplemented by bolt-on hooks and chain. Tim explains why the toothbar outperforms a plain bucket for root work, mentions running hydraulic pressure at 2900 PSI, and references a HydrosPlus cooler keeping temps in check. Best for owners curious whether a toothbar alone can handle established stumps without a backhoe or grapple.

An owner-operator channel where Tim documents real projects on his own property, though Heavy Hitch and HydrosPlus are paid sponsors with a discount code mentioned at the end.
