About
StumpHog™
Born from real pain. Built for every person who's ever broken their back fighting a stump.
Where It All Started
A Bad Back
A Bad Back
Changed Everything
It started the way most great inventions do — with a problem nobody had solved. James Perez had dealt with back pain for years. And like millions of homeowners and contractors across the country, he'd spent countless hours battling tree stumps the old way: axes, grinders, chemicals, and brute force.
There had to be a better way. So he built one.
The StumpHog™ is the result — a portable, one-person stump and root extraction machine that generates 3,500 lbs of pulling force. No grinding. No chemicals. No crew. Just raw, mechanical power that puts the job in your hands.
"I didn't invent this for myself. I invented it for every person who's ever said 'there has to be a better way.'"— James Perez, Inventor & Founder, StumpHog™
What We Stand For
Built on Purpose
Innovation
We don't accept "that's how it's always been done." StumpHog replaces 100 years of back-breaking stump removal with one portable machine.
Built to Last
Every component is engineered for the field — for contractors who work hard, for homeowners who demand results, for anyone who can't afford failure.
For Everyone
One person. One machine. The StumpHog levels the playing field — no heavy equipment license, no crew, no rental fees. Just results.

Inventor & Founder
James Perez is a Lubbock, Texas-based entrepreneur with over 20 years of multi-state sales experience. He knows what contractors need, what customers demand, and what investors look for — because he's lived it from every angle.
When back pain pushed him to find a better solution for stump removal, he didn't just find one — he patented it. The StumpHog™ Provisional Patent Application is on file with the USPTO, protecting the technology he spent years developing and testing.
Today, James is actively seeking manufacturing partners, licensees, and investors to bring StumpHog™ to the mass market — a market with 130+ million households and zero true competitors.
