Kubota L3301. My soil is sandy and very easy to dig in, anywhere. I need something to dig holes, move small trees, and just general digging stuff. Which one of these would better serve my needs? I like the idea of the tree shovel, but it is wider and I'm wondering if I'll have enough down pressure. The Stump bucket is narrower, and would work well for a variety of things. The weight on both is pretty much the same, as is the length/depth of digging. The price is close enough between the two that I'll get whichever one will work best.






Thoughts? Thanks!

For use on a tractor a stump bucket will work better, and the stump bucket is more versatile for other uses too. ;)
