I have been looking and compact tractors and have thought possibly about getting a back hoe to dig up small tree stumps around my property. I only wonder if the bx24 will do the job. Largest tree to dig up is no bigger that 8 inch diameter.

If you add a Ripper attachment from Bro-Tek, it makes root chopping pretty easy and will save you a lot of work over using the bucket alone. I removed all of the roots from a 36" diameter fir tree pretty easily and some of the roots were 6+" in diameter, using my BX24. Just take your time and don't try to do it right next to the stump.
