Stump yoke?

I've seen like a huge moldboard style plow that would dig and cut stumps.
It was tree size limited though.
Can you get any photo's of this piece of history?

Like this? Take down any size tree.

Maybe one of these?? Blade mounted
Seems what your describing is different, picture would help.

Back in 1957, I went with a seasoned field mechanic over into Mississippi to pull a transmission on a 9U D6 stumper. This company had several units and they dug out pine stumps for making turpintine.
They had inside mounted push arms goung out to a splitter and a rooter. They would hit those stumps in 4th gear and drop the rooter just before hitting the stump and while the tractor was still moving, pull on the 25ccu and lift the stumper, all the while the operator would brace his left foot against the dash board. This was done so often, the edge of the dash was as sharp as a razor. Reason for pulling the transmission was because the top shaft was broke. Those field men had found that the transmission could be pulled without removing the oil clutch. We had a made up top shaft so we just exchanged and slipped the transmission back in. These stumpers had no dozer blade. Just a spliter and a rooter about 18 inches wide. A truck with a boom loader would come along and pick up the stumps.

Bill hit the nail on the head. That is exactly what I'm talking about! My grandfather told me my great grandpa would have that dry clutch so tight you could barley pull the Handel back, he said it was like that so when ya hit the stump in 4th gear the momentum from hitting the stump would make your left arm throw the clutch out. Theses ole stumpers were a different kind of man, I can't wait to run one of these! Also do you think a 9U could handle a KG blade?

D6 9u is to light for a kg blade a D6D would be good.

We have a few D6Ds and only 2 of them are worth a crap. Seems like the ones without the pre combustion chambers just don't make enough power to push a V blade. I personally use a D8 14A or a old D9G direct drive xof or shearing with a V blade. My main rake dozer on my crew is a direct drive D6C, iv run a KG blade and I kinda like them. But I can do more work with a Vblade. Was just wondering cause I need something to play with hahaha

had to look up fat wood . found lots of stuff about making turpintine and pitch and or rosin.neat i'm going to cook me some stumps now.
just for the record i will not be hitting a stump in 4th gear ouch!

Well I still have this girl for stump related things and mass production clearing hhaha. I still like the idea of how these old timers used to do this, a completely different breed of man back in those days.
