Hi!
Would a tea 20 ferguson be capable of pulling out stumps up to 20 cm diameter, and where is a good place to attach a chain to ( below the rear axle, so there is no danger of overturning) Thanks in advance!

i tried pulling a stump out with my grandpas old one and it blew up the rear end in it. I wouldn't recommend it but you never know.

I have used mu TO 20 more than a few times but you have to be careful. Use the drawbar or make one out of 1/2" steel. Use chain never cable. These tractors are too small to do it directly, my D4 Cat won't always knock over a 5" stump all at once. Do it when the ground is VERY WET. Hook on and put on a strain and give it a couple tugs. You should loosen it some and probably expose some roots. Chop these with an axe or maule, perhaps using a 5' steel bar to lift and loosen ect. Keep at in in a couple directions and repeat until it comes out. Its lots easier / faster if you have a helper. The last thing to go is the big root on the bottom going straight down and it will fight to the end. If you are time concious or clumsy hire it out. If you are going to use this tractor for that type of work you practically need to load all the tires (a case of $20 antifreeze Sams Club ect and tire chains). tirechains.com are about the cheapest I have ever seen. These tractors won't do much without the weight chains but handled lightly with the extras will do about anything though slowly. I am using mine to build a grass airstrip. You can probably do the stumps just don't take anything for granted, none of this stuff is in any way safe. Driz

Anderew just wanted to stress a point if you do not have stay bars for your tractor to hold the arms and drawbar down dont try pulling the stump!with out the staybars when you put strain on the stump the front end of the tractor will come up.that leaves you about half of a second before it comes over on ya .hope i have been of some help remember use your head Badgerwy

Howdy Andrew i dont mean to go aginst what everyone else has said. what they have said is true.but i have pulled stumps with my to-20. pulling stumps can be dangerous .so can walking across the street if you dont use your head.what i done was to dig around the stump and cut the roots i could get to.when you hook up to the stump hook your chain to where it twists the stump rather than hooking where you are in a dead pull.if you need to jerk it a bitit might be a good idea to use 2 chains one to the stump the other to the tractor ,hooking the center part of the chains to an old tire.this will absorb a bunch of the jolt but still put strain on the stump.the best place to hook is as low as you can to keep fron rearing drop your arms as low as they will go and use stay bars this will keep your arms down id hook to the draw bar this way of hooking will make your tractor less likely to rear up on ya.but keep your foot on the clutch just in case.and as far as pulling on the stump take it easy dont go at it like your trying to tear something up becaus most likely you will im not telling you to pull your own stump this is something you have to decide for your self. i just telling you what i have done and how i have done it .i hope i have been of some help.if you decide to try it remember.THE BEST TOOL YOU HAVE TO DO ANY JOB IS YOUR HEAD!USE IT OFTEN take care and good luck Badgerwy

I have a TEA20 and would never use it for that kind of work, the tractor can flip over on top of you if you are not careful. I have a DB 990 with ROPS for bigger jobs but for stump pulling it is best to get a bulldozer with a brush blade.

Your drawbar pull on a small tractor is not as much as you could pull with a com-a-long chain hoist, use that instead if you must, hooked to another stump. Don't put a jerking strain on your tractor gears on something that won't move when you pull on it. What you might break will cost more to repair than having someone else pull the stumps with the right equipment like a dozer or back hoe. Mark H.

No - too small - you'll bust the tranny or rear end
