SWAT Metal Works | Mini Stump Buster
Estimated shipping only — your final shipping cost is confirmed at checkout.
The SWAT Metal Works Mini Stump Buster gives smaller tractors and skid steers a compact attachment for digging out stumps, roots, brush, rocks, and posts. Its narrow 18″ snout concentrates the machine’s force into a smaller digging area, making it useful for getting underneath roots and working in places where a full-size stump bucket would be excessive.
The attachment is built from 1/4″ A36 mild steel and features a replaceable AR400 cutting edge at the working end. That wear-resistant edge is especially useful for an attachment that spends its time in dirt, roots, and rock, and it can be replaced instead of retiring the entire Stump Buster when the edge eventually wears.
Features
- Replaceable AR400 Cutting Edge: Abrasion-resistant AR400 steel handles the high-wear contact point at the end of the snout and can be replaced when worn.
- 1/4″ A36 Steel Construction: Built from 1/4″ mild steel for a sturdy, compact digging attachment.
- 18″ Snout: Shorter profile is sized for smaller subcompact and compact machines while providing a focused digging point.
- Serrated Side Edges: Toothed edges help work through roots and surrounding material while digging.
- Multiple Quick-Attach Options: Available in John Deere, skid steer/Bobcat, and Yanmar quick-attach versions.
- No Auxiliary Hydraulics Required: Uses the loader’s normal lift, curl, and tilt functions without additional hydraulic connections.

What is the SWAT Mini Stump Buster designed to do?
It is designed for jobs such as removing smaller stumps, roots, brush, rocks, and posts. It can also be used for narrow digging work and planting trees.
What makes the AR400 cutting edge important?
AR400 is an abrasion-resistant steel suited to high-wear applications. Using it at the working edge helps the attachment stand up to repeated contact with soil, roots, and rock better than relying on the mild-steel body alone.
Is the cutting edge replaceable?
Yes. The Mini Stump Buster uses a replaceable AR400 cutting edge, so a worn working edge can be replaced without replacing the complete attachment.
Is the Mini Stump Buster intended for smaller tractors?
Yes. SWAT specifically describes its 18″ snout as suitable for small subcompact tractors. Machine capacity and mounting compatibility should still be verified before ordering.
Does it require auxiliary hydraulics?
No. The Mini Stump Buster is a non-hydraulic attachment that works through the loader’s normal lift, curl, and tilt movements.
Can it be used for more than stump removal?
Yes. SWAT lists brush, boulders, posts, trench digging, and tree planting among its intended uses in addition to stump removal.
What mounting options are available?
SWAT offers the Mini Stump Buster in John Deere, skid steer/Bobcat, and Yanmar quick-attach versions.
Can the Mini Stump Buster ship by UPS?
Yes. SWAT identifies the Mini Stump Buster as eligible for UPS Ground shipping. Premium packaging is also offered as an additional option.
Note: The Mini Stump Buster is available in John Deere Quick Attach, Skid Steer Quick Attach, and Yanmar Quick Attach configurations. Fitment depends on the attachment carrier installed on your machine. Verify mount type, loader capacity, and machine configuration before ordering.

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 requiring replacement of the complete attachment.
Sized for Smaller Machines
At 90 Lbs. with an 18″ snout, the Mini Stump Buster provides a compact alternative to larger stump buckets and stump-removal attachments.
Focused Digging Power
The narrow snout concentrates the loader’s force into a smaller working area, helping the operator get underneath roots, posts, rocks, and other buried material.
More Than a Stump Tool
The same pointed design used to work underneath stumps can also handle brush removal, post removal, narrow trenching, rock work, and tree planting.
Simple Operation
With no auxiliary hydraulic circuit required, the Mini Stump Buster works through the loader’s existing lift and curl functions.
- Small stump and root removal
- Brush and sapling clearing
- Fence post removal
- Rock and boulder removal
- Narrow trenching
- Tree and shrub planting
- Acreage and property maintenance
- Subcompact and compact tractor owners
