ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for removal of tree stumps, by first splitting the upper part of the stump with a splitting plate, and then utilizing a digging member to sever and/or dislodge roots of the stump from the ground strata. This apparatus is desirably provided as a splitting attachment to be connected to a bucket of a backhoe or trackhoe. Also, there is a saw plate mounted to the lower side of a splitting plate. First, the bucket is manipulated to have the saw plate cut a kerf in the upper part of the stump, and then the splitting member is moved through the kerf to split the stump. The stump sections that are removed have comparatively little dirt and rocks attached thereto, and these can be more easily burned, cut into chips, or transported.
