Pulling a stump with a skid steer is easy!
A tree stump takes time and effort to remove. But not if you have the right skid steer attachment. In the past, we’ve discussed the power of the tree puller. The difference between a tree and a stump is in the application.
The winning component of the stump puller skid steer attachment is how it can slice through roots with little collateral damage. But, it does more than just clear the underwork. The stump bucket pulls at tree stumps like a crowbar.
Depending on how you maneuver the attachment, you can apply physical force in a way that pries it free rather than busting it apart. Ultimately, the stump puller/bucket attachment works as a direct application to free obstructions. Whether you have a Kubota or John Deere machine, it will attach like a dream. Those stumps will have never stood a chance.
While this might seem easy, it requires a level of skill and control that only comes with experience.

We want to see if you have what it takes to own this incredible piece of machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a skid steer pull tree stumps?
Yes. With a tree and stump puller attachment, a skid steer can grip a stump and pry it out of the ground, roots and all, without hours of digging or grinding.
How is pulling a stump different from pulling a standing tree?
It uses the same attachment but a different approach. With a stump there is no trunk to grab, so you work the jaws around the base and roots and use leverage to pry it loose.
What is the advantage of pulling a stump instead of grinding it?
Pulling removes the stump and root ball in one piece with little collateral damage, while grinding only chews down what is above ground and leaves the roots behind. Pulling is fast and leaves a cleaner site.
Will a stump puller fit my skid steer?
Stinger tree and stump pullers use a universal quick-attach plate and mount to common machines, including Kubota and John Deere skid steers. Just match the attachment to your machine’s capacity.
Is pulling stumps with a skid steer difficult?
It is straightforward with the right attachment, but it takes some skill and control. Work steadily, keep the load low and close to the machine, and let the leverage of the puller do the work.
