The Process
Four Steps. One Machine.
From setup to extraction, one operator can remove a full stump and root ball in under 15 minutes — no rentals, no crew, no experience required.
01
Position the Base
Set the 14″×14″×3/8″ steel base plate over the stump. The freestanding A-frame tripod locks into position with no vehicle or tree anchoring needed. Setup takes under 2 minutes.
02
Attach the Chain
Wrap the Grade 70 transport chain around the base of the stump or beneath the root ball. Connect to the winch hook — no tools, no complicated rigging required.
03
Engage the Winch
Power up the electric winch using the wireless remote. Apply steady vertical tension. The tripod geometry focuses all force directly above the root system for maximum extraction.
04
Pull It Out
The stump and full root ball lift free — whole. No grinding residue, no partial removal, no regrowth risk. Load it out. Clean hole. Job done.

The Engineering
Why the Design Actually Works
The StumpHog™ isn't brute force — it's mechanical advantage applied precisely where it's needed. Every component was chosen to maximize extraction while minimizing effort.
Tripod Geometry
The A-frame centers all pulling force directly above the root system, converting winch tension into pure vertical lift — the most efficient extraction vector possible.
Freestanding Design
No vehicle anchor needed. The 3/8″ steel base distributes load across the ground, making the unit fully self-contained and deployable anywhere.
Electric Winch Power
3,500–5,000 lbs of continuous electric pull with a wireless remote. No stalled engines, no jerking — consistent, controlled force every time.
Grade 70 Chain
Transport-grade chain wraps under the root ball and transfers load evenly. The stump comes out intact — roots and all — leaving a clean hole.
100% Root Removal
Grinders leave roots to rot and regrow. The StumpHog™ pulls the entire mass, permanently eliminating sinkholes, fungal spread, and regrowth.
Tool-Free Assembly
Breaks down and sets up without tools. One person transports, assembles, operates, and loads out — practical for solo landscaping professionals.
Market Opportunity
35M+ Stumps Removed Annually in the U.S.
Every landscaper, arborist, and homeowner faces this problem. The StumpHog™ is the first portable winch-based extraction system built for this market.
Competitive Advantage
No Direct Competitor at This Price Point
Grinder rentals average $300–$500/day. Excavator calls run $800+. The StumpHog™ eliminates both with a one-time purchase that pays for itself on the first job.
IP Protection
USPTO Provisional Patent Filed · 2025
The StumpHog™ winch extraction system and tripod geometry are covered under a provisional patent application filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
