The Technology

HOW THE
STUMPHOG™
WORKS

Three steps. One person. No crew, no grinder, no back pain. Here is exactly how the StumpHog™ gets the job done.

Before StumpHog

THE OLD WAY
DIDN'T WORK.

Farmers, ranchers, and landowners across America have been fighting stumps the same exhausting way for generations. Two people. Half a day. Still not done.

The Old Way

Back-Breaking Labor

One person. A farm jack. Hours of strain with nothing to show for it.

Two people struggling
The Old Way

You Need A Crew

Two people pushing overhead. Still not enough force to get the job done.

Wrong tool wrong results
The Old Way

Wrong Tool. Wrong Results.

Farm jacks pull at an angle. Stumps pull straight down. It was never going to work.

Enter StumpHog

THEN JAMES
BUILT THIS.

After fighting stumps the hard way, James Perez engineered a device that does exactly one thing — and does it perfectly.

The Invention

The First Prototype

The cantilever concept that started it all — vertical force, freestanding, one person.

Live Demo

StumpHog™ In Action

Watch the electric winch extract a stump clean — one person, one press of a button.

The Product

StumpHog™ Ready To Deploy

Portable. Powerful. Built for one operator to carry and deploy anywhere.

Simple By Design

THREE STEPS.
THAT'S IT.

Position StumpHog over stump
01

Position

Carry the StumpHog™ to the stump and set the base plate flat on the ground directly over it. The center extraction hole aligns above the root ball.

Four stabilizing legs extend outward and press into the earth, locking the device firmly in place. No anchoring tools. No setup crew. Ready in under sixty seconds.

Attach extraction cable
02

Attach

Feed the heavy-duty extraction cable down through the center hole and loop it securely around the root ball or stump base.

No chains. No complicated rigging. A single locking hook holds the cable firm under full 3,500 lb load tension. One connection. Thirty seconds.

StumpHog extracting stump
03

Extract

Press the button. The 3,500 lb electric winch retracts the cable straight up through the center hole — pulling the entire root ball vertically out of the ground.

No grinding. No digging. No crew. Straight up force matches the natural axis of the root system for a clean, complete extraction every time.
