We have three stump bucket series to choose from—the Mini Wrecker, the Heavy Duty Wrecker, and the Mega Wrecker. The Mini is for smaller compact and subcompact tractors under 32 horsepower, and the Mega is for machines above 60 horsepower.
Who should buy our heavy duty stump bucket?
If your tractor sits between 32 and 60 hp and you’ve got to dig up stumps, saplings, small trees, or boulders, or want to plant new shrubs or trees, or make a shallow trench, then consider our Made in USA Heavy Duty Wrecker. An attachment for your front-end loader with bi-directional ripping teeth to cut through roots, and a chain slot to secure your stump to the bucket in case you need to haul it across your property after removal.
GWT Heavy Duty Stump Bucket
Specially designed and tested serrated bi-directional teeth make up the shovel edges to rip and sever roots while driving forward and backwards as you dig. A beefy 3/8″ AR400 steel cutting edge acts as the sacrificial first contact point between your tractor and whatever you’re going after. It’s replaceable by design as we know it’s going to take the majority of the brunt getting that stump out of the ground.
Customers continue to amaze us with the size of stumps they remove with our stump bucket. Watch us absolutely annihilate small trees with the GWT HD Wrecker in the videos below.
Available in 3 different attachment styles: John Deere Quick Attach, Skid Steer Quick Attach, and Yanmar Quick Attach.
Each version attaches and detaches from your front-end loader in the exact same fashion as your bucket.
Uses include:
- Stump removal
- Landscape shrub/small tree removal
- Hole prep for tree/shrub planting
- Buried boulder removal
- Digging trenches to fix drainage issues
- Scarifying/scratching earth to loosen compacted soil

This is the big brother (roughly 50% heavier and longer) to our Mini Stump Bucket. We developed and designed this stump bucket, not because there weren’t other options on the market, but because we didn’t like any of those options available. Some were too large rendering them useless for subcompact and small compact tractors. Others were proprietary in design forcing you to buy their system, and none of them had a combination of all the features we thought should be on the product.
*We tested this unit on a 100 hp John Deere 333g skid steer to see how fast we’d break it. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that the only damage incurred was on the replaceable cutting edge. Impressive!

GWT FAST CAT QUICK HITCH OVERVIEW
Hooking up rear attachments to a 3-Pt Hitch can be a real pain, but it doesn’t have to be. A quick hitch will typically reduce your effort by 90%, and best case scenario you don’t even need to leave your seat. The more you change attachments or the heavier attachments you use, the more you’ll benefit from a quick hitch.
The unique design of the GWT Fast Cat will not just save you time, but money too compared to other quick hitches.
Save Money!
This quick hitch doesn’t require bushings for your attachments! The John Deere iMatch and all others require you to buy and install a $40+ set of bushings on each 3 point attachment. You can completely avoid that expense with this quick hitch. The lower two hooks are sized to be a direct fit to a Category 1 pin size!
QUICK HITCH SPECS
This Category 1 Quick Hitch fits most Category 1 tractors and is for use with Category 1 equipment. Includes two lower pins and top pin. It is not required for any 3-Point attachment.
- Available in Black

- Top Link Slot Inside Diameter: 1 3/8″
- Bottom to Top Hook Height: 14 1/2 – 17 1/2″

Digging Edges
We offer six different digging edges: Regular, Double-sided Regular, Ripper / Regular Combo, Shovel / Regular Combo, Square / Regular Combo, and Ripper / Square Combo
Regular Digging Edge: A short, three-pronged design that’s been successful for general digging and stump removal.

GWT HITCH HANGER Bundle Highlights
The Hitch Hanger is a bracket that attaches with a simple strap connection to your quick hitch, allowing you to hang three suitcase weights (41or 70 lb) off to the side, while still keeping the connection to your quick hitch and your three-point attachment.
HOW MUCH COUNTERWEIGHT DO YOU NEED?
The answer to this is tractor specific, but your manual should indicate the recommended rear ballast or counterweight to balance against your front-end loader. This can be in the form of liquid ballast in you wheels, wheel weights, and the weight of the rear attachment itself. But often this is not enough weight to hit the manufacturer recommended total. Enter the hitch hanger, which provides a solution to gain that additional weight without increasing your footprint.
WHAT 3-PT ATTACHMENTS NEED MORE WEIGHT?
A 3-Pt Hitch does not product any down-pressure, so if you are running a ground engaging attachment you’re reliant upon the weight of that attachment for all of its digging power. This includes plows, discs, pluggers, aerators, tillers, and box-blades or graders. Some times the attachment will have a shelf for adding weight, but many do not. Using our Hitch Hangers is a great way to gain downward force for that attachment, providing better, faster results.
Priced per pair (1 left, 1 right) w/ 6 suitcase weights of your choosing.

What is covered
Your GWT Factory Warranty covers issues stemming from the craftsmanship of the product, like broken welds, torn steel, or improper fit.

If damage occurs from improper use (a use other than what the product is marketed for), the warranty is void. Damage caused to your tractor while using a GWT product will not be covered.
Your warranty is non-transferable, meaning it exists as long as you’re the owner and operator of the product.

Found what I was looking for
Dan –
I have yet to remove a stump. But I have trenched a low lying area to drain excess water. I have removed okra plants which can grow quite large. I have harvested peanuts which saved hours of labor. I suspect that it would work for potatoes as well. I have only owned it for about a month.
