SWAT Metal Works | Heavy Duty Stump Buster
Estimated shipping only — your final shipping cost is confirmed at checkout.
The SWAT Metal Works Heavy Duty Stump Buster is built for tougher stump, root, rock, and post removal with compatible tractors, skid steers, and compact track loaders. Its narrow 24″ snout concentrates digging force into a smaller working area, helping operators get underneath stubborn roots and buried material while the serrated sides cut and loosen material as the attachment moves through the ground.
Built from 3/8″ A36 mild steel, the Heavy Duty Stump Buster features a replaceable AR400 cutting edge at the working end. That abrasion-resistant edge takes the brunt of contact with soil, gravel, roots, and rock and can be replaced as it wears instead of replacing the entire attachment.

What is the SWAT Heavy Duty Stump Buster designed for?
It is designed for demanding stump and root removal as well as brush clearing, rock and boulder removal, post removal, trenching, and tree planting.
Can the Heavy Duty Stump Buster be used on a skid steer?
Yes. SWAT offers the Heavy Duty Stump Buster with a Skid Steer Quick Attach configuration for compatible skid steers and compact track loaders. Machine capacity and attachment interface should always be verified before ordering.
How is the Heavy Duty model different from the Light Duty Stump Buster?
The Heavy Duty model uses 3/8″ A36 steel construction compared with the Light Duty model’s 1/4″ construction. Both use a 24″ snout, but the Heavy Duty version is built for more demanding digging work.
What is the AR400 cutting edge?
AR400 is an abrasion-resistant steel used where repeated wear is expected. On the Stump Buster, it provides a tougher working surface at the end of the snout where the attachment repeatedly contacts dirt, roots, gravel, and rock.
Is the AR400 cutting edge replaceable?
Yes. The Heavy Duty Stump Buster uses a replaceable AR400 cutting edge, allowing the wear component to be replaced without replacing the complete attachment.
What size tractor is the Heavy Duty Stump Buster designed for?
For tractor applications, SWAT specifically sizes this model for sub-60 HP machines. Loader capacity, ballast, mounting system, and overall machine configuration should still be verified before ordering.
Can it be used for more than removing stumps?
Yes. The pointed, serrated design also works for brush clearing, boulder and rock removal, post removal, trench digging, and tree planting.
What mounting options are available?
The Heavy Duty Stump Buster is available with Skid Steer Quick Attach, John Deere Quick Attach, and Yanmar Quick Attach configurations.
What colors are available?
The Heavy Duty Stump Buster is available in Black, John Deere Green, and Kubota Orange.
Note: SWAT sizes the Heavy Duty Stump Buster for machines under 60 HP. It is available in Skid Steer Quick Attach, John Deere Quick Attach, and Yanmar Quick Attach configurations. Verify mount type, loader capacity, ballast, and machine configuration before ordering.

Heavier Construction
The 3/8″ A36 steel body gives the Heavy Duty model additional material where strength matters, making it better suited to demanding digging and stump-removal work.
Replaceable Wear Component
The AR400 cutting edge puts abrasion-resistant steel at one of the attachment’s highest-wear points. When the edge eventually wears, it can be replaced instead of replacing the complete attachment.
24″ Digging Reach
The long, narrow snout helps reach underneath stumps, roots, rocks, and posts while concentrating the machine’s force into a relatively small working area.
Flexible Mounting Options
Skid Steer, John Deere, and Yanmar quick-attach configurations give operators multiple ways to pair the Stump Buster with compatible loaders and carriers.
