Great video!! Thanks
Thanks
Just ordered my Woodland Mills Stump Grinder earlier this morning. YOU were a big contributing factor to my decision. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to have been a help in your decision. Still pleased with it myself.
@@timbervisions Ok, I have few questions... Roughly how many stumps have you ground? Have you had to sharpen the teeth. If so, how many stumps before a sharpening? Thank you.
@@Shookmeister I've done about twenty stumps so far. I've heard there is a way to sharpen them, but I just order another 15 fresh teeth that I can rotate out until I figure out how exactly to do that. I have some that need replaced before this season coming up, but most are still in good shape. Depends how many rocks or metal you find as one is grinding. They are hard on the teeth edge. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and for the question.
@@timbervisions Thanks for the quick reply.
@@Shookmeister glad to help
Thanks I just subscribed
Awesome thank you!
That is a really nice unit you have there. It also seems that your tractor runs it really well.
Thanks Woodruff! The PTO horsepower is towards the lower end required, but with the slip clutch set properly it works quite nicely. Thanks for stopping and and watching and for the comment!
Wow. I believe that tractor is only rated at 16 pto horsepower. Performed really well. That’s a very nice stump grinder to be able to pull that off.
18 at the pto, but yes, she's a beast for her size. Thanks for stopping in
great video did I miss something on the timber wolf guy I didnt see a stump grinder in his video. you keep up the good work for us little guys. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Pretty flat cut. Whoever cut the tree originally makes his notch cuts about as carelessly as I do. Good video. I have an HM130 Max and the 8" chipper and I'm considering a grinder. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Sam, yes that was me and I did a video on where I went wrong on dropping that tree. It ended up going 90 degrees from where I intended, but no one and nothing was hurt. I chalked it up as a great learning experience. Thanks for stopping in and for the comment.
I am looking at buying one of these for this summer. I think for the price it works well. Thanks great video
For the price, I don't think they can be beat. Thanks for watching
@@timbervisions i actually am considering building one from scratch. It would make a great video on my channel. I build a few attachments for my tractor. I built a pull behind grader two years ago. I grade our local ATV trails. I take it on as a summer project. It’s a total 43km long. Also going to buy a flail mower to cut the brush along trail if I win the bid. I enjoy running my tractor as a side gig. Last year I bought a tiller and it paid for it self with the work i did. Keep up the work and videos I will keep watching
I'll have to check out your channel. Always enjoys some build videos.
@@timbervisions thanks for watching hope you enjoy
@@puddlejumper3534 I"m sure I will. Subbed as well.
Great video have been considering the same stump grinder for some time as it appears well built and engineered and affordable considering all others but shipping is expensive and wasn't sure how well or fast it works. Great idea for the back up camera as it seems I'm going backs all the time with my tractor.
Thanks for watching! I've been impressed with this stump grinder. It has its limits, but effective.
Seems like it would work a lot better if you took it off in horizontal layers. Cutting each pass to full depth first before moving over maximizes the surface area of stump the wheel is engaging at any given time. Yes, you'd have to maneuver a little more but it wouldn't jump around and stall out half as much if you worked horizontally first instead of vertically.
Just running it the way the manufacturer suggested it be ran. Thanks for watching and commenting.
In this video, you said you have cut the stump in a certain direction. How do you determine which way to cut... I purchased one of these recently and still learning.
You want to start on the right side of the stump as you are sitting on the tractor. If you switch directions, just start on the right side. The direction the flywheel turns is why. It's in the manual as well, which will come with your grinder.
I wonder how it would work with a Direct Trans ??
HST is good to feather a slow speed, but a manual trans would either be too fast in Low gear... or you'd burn the clutch trying to feather it.... interesting.
I've seen some videos of a gear drive trying to use one this style. It did not work very well. Like you stated, too fast for this style.
@@timbervisions kinda figured that... looks like a great attachment... thank you for this video, and fast reply. Have a great weekend
@@twinstickpete you as well!
How tight are your stabilizer links?
As little of movement as I can get. You want to reduce side to side movement as much as possible
do you have to have a HST to use this grinder?
In my opinion, yes. Unless you have a really slow gear and a strong clutch. Sometimes I'm just creeping so slow you can barely see the wheels turn. It requires control. Hope this helps you out!
@@timbervisions thank you
U should clean up the wood chips and put dirt in
This is at my wood lot and I prefer to just put it all back in the hole. It'll all be dirt someday. Thanks for watching.
After that mulch rots won’t it leave a sunken spot in the yard?
It's mounded up when I'm done usually. This will settle over time to pretty much level. I have a stump I did at my wood lot a couple of years ago. This post summer it was level enough to mow directly over it. Before that, I had to mow around it as it was raised up above the ground. Hope this answers question.
Do you have some sort of rearview system on that tractor? If so, what model?
Yes I do! I added a link to it in the description. Must have forgotten when I posted. Here is the link for you www.amazon.com/dp/B07DC4DM3N?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Nice video do you know what kind of tree it was
Yes, it was a green ash tree. Cut down about 5 to 6 months before I did the grinding on it. Thanks for watching!
I don't mean to be rude but that's a peace of crap sorry
We are all entitled to our opinions. For what I need it's perfect. Thanks for stopping in and sharing your opinion. Have a great day!
Dude can’t spell piece, wouldn’t worry about his opinion.
@@daveulrich4623 you must hav gon to skool 😄
@@MrBriangardiner
Yep. Some of us like making money.
Opinions are like assholes………… everybody has one.
Some are just bigger than others.
What rpm are you running
Full rpms where the pto mark is. Giving it all she's got
Thats neat but to slow to make money
I agree, it's not a commercial unit. I do some side jobs with it though for a little extra money. Have paid it off in one season.
