[QUOTE="Buckshot Ranch, post: 120500, member: 21975"] I've owned a Yanmar B27 mini ex and a Case 580CK. I currently own a John Deere 310SE and a John Deere 450 crawler with backhoe attachment. I have used each to remove stumps on my ranch ranging from a couple of inches to 3 feet in diameter and from fresh cut to several years old. My experience is that if you have used the Case 580CK to pull stumps you are going to be very dissatisfied with an ex under 16,000 pounds. I don't think it will have the breakout force you might hope for? I too am retired, but spending hours to work your way around a large stump is not only hard on the equipment, but not particularly enjoyable on the body. And as you discovered, finding a suitable sized ex that was well treated, under $20k, is a challenge these days. But that may change in about 6 months with the apparent nose dive of the economy?
