Show a way I recently learned to deal with grinder teeth going bad and grind up a good sized Ash tree stump afterwards. woodland mills Kioti cs2520 subcompact tractor stump grinder maintenance
Tip I learned from grinding a massive 115 year old yellow pine with my WM grinder. Start by grinding only the above ground portion and then rake up the pile of shavings. Then grind the remaining below ground portion. This helps separate the dirt from the wood shavings as much as possible when back filling the hole.
I just picked up the same stump grinder for my tractor yesterday. I’m excited to get grinding with it and your videos have been super helpful learning a couple tips and tricks before I get started.
FYI...I think if you consult the manual you will find that the wrench is specifically for the four vertical teeth. All of the other teeth can simply be torqued directly with your torque wrench. FYI, your videos were very helpful...just took delivery of my new WG24!👍
Are you aware that the carbides are just silver soldered to the base? THEY SHOULD be available at any supply shop for machine shops. Most people with an oxy aceteline torch can solder new ones back.
I'm running a 16.2 PTO HP tractor and it does not pull mine down to bad. I made sure I got the clutches adjusted for my PTO power. Good Video by the way. LIKE.
It was about 40 inches of area that needed grinding at $3 per inch. That works out to be $120 for that stump. It was my stump, so it was "free". For the regular tree service guy in town, I'm sure it would be $160-200. Probably more in other parts of the country as well. Prices are regional, keep that in mind.
@@timbervisions ok thanks! i just ordered one wednesday and after i kinda know what im doing i was going to make a little bling on the side. im using a mahindra 2638 its 38hp and 31hp at pto. thanks for the info!
I tend to agree with that statement. I did find a company that makes some good replacement teeth for this grinder though. You can get them at gabdon.com for $11.50 per tooth, 15 tooth minimum order. I've been happy with them so far. Best of luck with your grinding!

Great little grinder. Glad they were helpful!

You are correct! I've read that since I made this video. I'm glad you found them helpful. Have fun with your new grinder! You're gonna love it
I really enjoyed the video. I like your stump grinder. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Just a heads up 24 mm and 15/16 are the same size if you don’t have a 24 mm wrench. The same goes for 3/4 and 19mm 7/16 and 11mm and 5/16 and 8 mm.
Great tip! Thanks
Like the Tips!
If they help just one person it's worth it. Thanks for stopping in!

I was NOT aware of that. Thanks for sharing with me and all the viewers.
I have one of the stump grinder's, the teeth wear out far too quickly. Not good quality
Does the grinder pull your tractor down much when it’s loaded up?
Thanks for the video
It can if I take too big of a bite.

@Richard31406 that tractor should work well with the grinder. It's hydro transmission? The gear drives go little too fast for this style of grinder.
@@timbervisions yea it’s hydrostatic trans looking foward to using it!
Have fun Richard!
How many RPM do you run tractor while grinding
At the point that is required to spin the pto at 540. It's clearly marked on the tachometer. Pretty sure it's close to 3k
