I have a CID X-treme stump grapple bucket and love it.
1/2" sides with cutting teeth, 1" cutting edge with large backhoe teeth.
I have a big skid loader and would have destroyed one of the lighter built buckets by now, all I've done to this one is scratch the paint and messed up one hyd hose to the grapple.
It won't dig out large stumps without a lot of work because of the tap root large stumps have.
The idea is the narrow bucket and side cutting edges can easily dig up and cut the side roots making it easier to roll the stump out.
I've used a standard width tooth bucket but your digging a lot of dirt to get at the roots.
I use mine to cut the roots on small trees up to around 8" dia, then reach up high and push the tree over, once it's down I'll dig out the rest of the root wad and remove as much dirt as possible, then clamp it with the grapple and pack the tree to a brush pile.
I can dig out a lot of small brush without disturbing much soil.
The grapple also helps to keep stuff from flying back into the cab but I am going to build a brush guard onto the back frame to protect me from any limbs or brush that can fly back by the sides of the grapple into the cab.
Earlier this year while pushing brush into the pile I had a limb break and fly into the cab just missing my head.
