I bought one 3 years ago and have taken out approximately 45 stumps. No problems, other than when I first uncrated it, I should have checked the torque on the teeth. I lost 2 on the very first usage. I use it on a john Deere 1025R, which is on the low PTO Horsepower required. Just use shallower cuts and it works fine. If some are curious, I believe the components are made in China and assembled in Canada.
What do you normally charge for the stump grinding service? I'm a college student running a stump grinding business and would appreciate any advice. I used to rent a handheld machine for the weekend and price customers' stumps based on age/size by a glance, then bang out as many as I could on the weekend. I just bought a small tractor and this machine so I'm able to ramp up business. I've been told that $5 per inch of diameter is the way to go. What do you think?
I charge a minimum $200. Not worth me loading the machine for anything less. Then $100/hour for my time after the first 2 hours. Grinding, clean up, backfill, whatever the customer wants done. Usually pretty close with my estimates.
@@SparkysGarage Awesome, thanks! Loved the video btw, I'll be watching this while I unbox my machine tomorrow. I appreciate the quick reply too! Cheers.
Did you bother to slip the clutch? That's a long ride in salty sea air from China. And who knows how long the components sat in warehouses. Just curious. Thanks.
Do you fine it makes a difference working left to right or right to left (when viewed from the seat) I fine my stump grinder bounces and shakes hard I have issues with the grinder hopping up and down. Have you experienced this? Thanks !!

Thanks very much glad I watch your video one more question are you put back the pin after done grinder or never put back again
Unless you are transporting it, I see no reason to install the pin. Mine is on the shelf where I put it 3 years ago.
Complements on your videography....I buying a new tractor and have watched many, many videos and yours were definitely the best...well done.
Thank you!
Did the quick hitch bushings come with it or did you order those separately? If ordered separate, where did you get them?
They're separate. a.co/d/gYXQ2Qz

@@ryancook189 anytime brother! Enjoy!
Why did you need to trim the PTO shaft ?
It was too long and wouldn't fit between the pto input and output.
Did you bother to slip the clutch?
That's a long ride in salty sea air from China. And who knows how long the components sat in warehouses.
Just curious. Thanks.
I did. I actually have two slip clutches. One that stays on the machine permanently and one on the grinder. Both slip.
Been looking to purchase. What you think overall. Would you buy it again
Definitely would buy again. Already made a few hundred on it with just a couple jobs.
Nice attachment to own. I'm not impressed with the quality of welds though 😕

I have issues with the grinder hopping up and down.
Have you experienced this?
Thanks !!
Pulling all of the slop out of your 3 point adjustments will help with it hopping. I cut with the non-exit side of the grinder.
I run mine take about 10 stump and found never remove the stab pin. Big issue ?
That pin is important to remove to keep from putting too much stress on the bearings in the grinder. I'd definitely pull it every time I use it.
@@SparkysGarage thanks very much glad I watched your video one more question are you put back the pin after finished the grind job or never put back
@@EduardoGonzalez-vp3cu yes I always put the pin back when I’m done. 👍🏻
What Hp does that grinder require??
I think 20. I know the 1 series deere can run it too.
What is the cost of this and what about the warranty , I like it
Check out woodland mills website. I think around $2500 shipped. I got extra teeth so mine was a bit more.
How much price is in india
$2500USD
Music bad
Luckily for you there's a mute option!
MUTE MUTE MUTE!! damn that's awful music.
I had a different song and CZcams flagged it as copy written. Wasn’t my first choice.
those are some horrible looking welds
They've held up so far
