[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 30782, member: 307"] You would likely find it easier to uproot the trees by taking a full bucket of dirt then pushing on the trunk up near full lift. You can remove the stump from the trunk later if you want. As for the crators the only other option is grinding the stumps down. leaves less debris and no crator. Which requires another attachment and hi flow option to operate it. If your not trying to save the turf around the trees I think the uprooting is the way to go I have both a Erskine stump grinder and quick claw grapple and have been a dealer of theirs for a few years. They make good equipment and i have not had any complaints and minimal warranty claims. As you know nothing is indestructable regardless of price, but on the other hand the more you pay the better you get. I have managed to bend a couple tines on my claw (1/2” T1, handling boulders) but a couple whacks with a 6lb hammer brought things back into alignment. This by no means happens often, but is possible. I suspect the 3/4” Eagle Talon would be much tougher in this respect. Also with the replaceable teeth on the lower tines would be a better choice if you plan on alot of sub surface work. Sometimes I wish my claw had a longer lower tine to grab more tree stems at once, which the Talon has. There is however a trade off with lost breakout force. however both models have quite and advance over a bucket by keeping the teeth close to the machine. Being able to back drag with the top jaw is also quite an advantage over some grapples when you just want to rake the surface gently or need to pull material from a corner. Ken [/QUOTE]
