Combo stumper and rake attachments are versatile tools designed for forestry, land clearing, and landscaping tasks. These attachments combine functions to help operators efficiently remove stumps, roots, rocks, and debris while preparing the ground for further work such as grading or reseeding.
Construction and Materials
Combo stumper and rake attachments provide a powerful, efficient solution for multi-faceted land clearing needs. Their integrated design supports quicker project completion by combining stump removal and debris raking, helping contractors enhance site preparation with reduced equipment changeover. Their rugged construction and adaptable hydraulics ensure these tools serve reliably across forestry, construction, and landscaping sectors.
Construction and Materials
- Typically constructed from certified AR400 steel, ensuring high abrasion resistance and durability against heavy wear.
- Feature heavy-duty frames with thick tubing (such as 6" x 6" x 1/4" thickness) for structural strength.
- Equipped with replaceable wear parts such as carbide tips or steel teeth for enhanced longevity and cost-effective maintenance.
- The stump jumper or stumper section includes rugged shanks or blades designed to pry, lift, and dislodge stumps and embedded roots with minimal soil disturbance.
- Often fitted with serrated or sharp-edged teeth specifically shaped to cut through lateral roots efficiently.
- Designed to apply soil-conserving techniques by reducing excessive ground disruption, thus improving site restoration post-clearing.
- The rake section consists of multiple sturdy tines or bars, spaced to allow soil to fall through while collecting and moving brush, rocks, and other debris.
- Tines can be bi-directional, allowing operation in forward and reverse without loss of efficiency.
- The rake helps prepare the land surface by clearing debris before grading or planting.
- Driven by hydraulic motors with electric over hydraulic controls optimized for excavator hydraulic flows, typically operating efficiently with flow rates between 17 to 32 gallons per minute.
- Deck tilt and lift mechanisms use cylinders with substantial rod diameters (e.g., 1.25") for precise control and high force during soil engagement.
- Combo packages often range from 2,000 to 3,000 pounds (900 to 1,360 kg) total weight, depending on size and model.
- Cutting arcs may extend up to 55 degrees below ground, allowing for deep and thorough stump grinding capability.
- Widths and lengths vary from 40 to 60 inches wide with lengths around 60 inches, suitable for mid-sized excavators.
- Ideal for contractors and forestry services looking for efficient mound clearing and site prep combined in one tool.
- Useful in pipeline construction, utility line clearing, and forestry operations requiring stump removal and debris gathering in fewer passes.
- Improves productivity by limiting the need for separate stump grinders, rakes, and brush cutters.
- Regular inspection of teeth and tines for wear and prompt replacement prolong attachment life.
- Proper hydraulic flow matching between excavator and attachment maximizes performance and prevents damage.
- Consider skid shoes or blade wear protectors to reduce deck abrasion during operations on rocky or hard-packed soils.
- AR400 Steel: Abrasion-resistant steel type known for hardness and durability in harsh working environments.
- Stump Jumper: A blade or shank attachment used to pry and pull tree stumps from the ground.
- Bi-Directional Tines: Tines designed to effectively rake materials regardless of forward or backward movement.
- Electric Over Hydraulic: Control system for hydraulic motors that uses electronic instructions for precise flow and pressure control.
- Cutting Arc: The angular range through which an attachment’s cutting components operate, especially below ground level.
