I’m sure you know this by now, but for other viewers, if looking at the stump grinder from the rear, you really should only be cutting using the “6 to 9 o’clock” section of the cutter. That way, the reaction force of the carbides pulls the cutter DOWN into the stump, where the outer edge teeth can also cut, resulting in a stable grinder. If you cut using the “3-6 o’clock” section of the disc, the reaction force pushes the cutter UP and away from the stump, resulting in bouncing the grinder across the stump top. Knowing this, it’s better to really grind the right side of the stump down quote a bit before moving left, rather than trying to “plane” the stump evenly across the top. You’ll get a much smoother experience, with much less shock to the grinder and tractor.
I know this video is 2yrs old, but I just got mine delivered today and did a large stump. It did great. Definitely getting the hang of it. Needless to say, it’s definitely interesting since my tractor is a gear drive shuttle shift. I imagine it be a little easier with a hydrostatic tractor

I received mine about 2 months I also run it on my 1025r and it works great you’ll love it
Thanks Mike we appreciate the comment and we do love it
Funny as you were taking the shipping frame off, I was thinking that would be a great table, haha. Good Vid Thanks
I actually ended up using the frame as a table
How long did it take you on this stump
It's nice, but always having to look around to see its operation isn't good for the neck
Is the PTO Shaft suppose to be shaking that violently during cuttings?
It is the cover around to pto shaft that is shaking
By this time I had already broken some plastic clips that keep the cover from moving so it became loose and shakes as you see.
@@randystractoradventures9959 It comes brand new with the PTO shaft. Are you saying you broke those clips basically when it had arrived?
Did you break in the slip clutch?
Probably not like I should have
How much does it cost
I'm ordering one for $2598 including shipping.
