Stumps next to curb...think the bobcat will pop up the curb too?

[Tree&Stump]

An HO wants the stumps between a wall and a curb removed. Since they are overgrown in there, it's going to be difficult to prevent damage to the wall and curb with the grinder. The HO wants the wall removed now too, so when I pop up the stumps with the bobcat, are the roots going to pop up the street curb.

The stumps are right next to the curb about 20" dia with wider root base. Is anyone here experienced with this kind of thing?

Yeah, very risky. Curbs pop easy. better advice from pics, but if it's that close I wouldn't risk it. at least dig/chop downon curb side to get as many roots as possible. An hour or so of digging can save a lot of grief.

 

[Tree&Stump]

That's how I'll handle this one. I wasn't sure until now I was going to take the job because of the risk.

How do I find out what year my sc252 is?

 

[ShaneLogs]

Yes possibly, the stump roots are probably grown under the curb which means when you pull the stump out the curb is probably going to want to come up with it

You posted a question about a 252 in the middle of a thread about popping a stunp next to a curb. What did you expect? Try posting in the large equipment thread.As far as your question goes, call vermeer and give them the serial# and they will tell you. Or I can fly up there and bottle feed you, your choice, but I aint going to eat your sausage. Jeff
