Just some action shots with the 2520 - this time it was stump removal time.
The tree had to come down because of disease, as well as the stump.
The goal was not to use an axe or shovel, and thankfully that goal was met.
The stump turned out to be larger than expected, with a total weight just under 4,000 lbs (weigh station verified). I had to dig a ramp under the stump to move it about, and had the Truck drag it out. I then backed the truck into the ramp, and pushed the stump on the bed.

Anyway enjoy the pictures and feel free to comment or share ones own feat with machinery

Duc,

That is one yawawsa stump! That 2520 is a pig! I'm sure that 2320 would have been gasping for air!

Just a few more shots -

Its good we are the only ones right know here (sites too new) but I would have gotten some rebuttals from 2320 owners (very capable in its own right). That being said, it was beyond the max of the 2520. Its did it by chomping it down, root by root. The size of that stump belongs with the full size TLB boys!

I never get tired of seeing the stump pics.
that was a dandy for sure. I dont think nothing is beyond the
2520 if you got the time..

Chris.

Chris -

If you get time - some of those mods your did (seat, floor board, lights, BH feet) would do wonders and making them sticky's (or posts that just stay on top -

so others can see

if you want to, no pressure : )

One day I had to move the weight box and decided to add as much weight as I could find. I ran out of weight but best guess whats showing here is easily 1,400 lbs. The Box is filled with portland, and the rest can be added up quickly. It would have lifted more, but I had no more weight

**Ducati996** · 10-29-2007, 11:55 PM

The maximum lift can easily exceed whats specified -

Some of these concrete blocks weighed 1,000 lbs. Weigh station verified it, and they had to get into my truck - at full height

Watch it, you're on thin ice!

Actually the 2320 is a tough little bugger. It surprises me everyday and twice on Sunday! And I dig Hard pan, lots of BIG rocks and my all time favorite packed clay.

Indeed they are and I have to be the first to say and acknowledge that -
They are really nice machines - the nicest in the industry for that size in my opinion. Just the look by themselves make the difference

I know in the past there were many comparisons between the two models. The model you own and use it the best - nothing else matters

You have any pictures floating around , we love pictures
