Joe Williams you call Stump Depot from Florida . They grind stumps big as your truck for $99. They can grind your stump cheaper than you can rent them machine
Extremely helpful to see it in real time. Thank you. I was goign to rent a giant tracked one but this looks perfectly sufficient. 10-15min is super chill.
Saw a comment on another video that was saying these little stump grinders are too small for anything bigger than 4” diameter. Thanks for the regular speed video showing it getting that 27” done in 13 min. I have a massive mess of trunk and root system from an old oak in the middle of my lawn to smooth down and I’m now convinced this will be the best tool for the job.
Well done. I began stump grinding perhaps many years ago with a 13 HP unit that was a lot like yours. I used it for several years and they can be quite the workout. I have seen people rent units like yours, but unfortunately the rental companies didn't know enough about the stump grinding unit to replace or sharpen the grinding teeth so the customers ended up having a bad experience. Having sharp grinding teeth makes a huge difference.
Liked the video and especially the narrative that went along with it. You told us the condition of the machine, what you were doing, and why you were doing it that way. If we wanted to watch 10 minutes of stump grinding we could and we then knew it would take that long. That is one of the things I wanted to know. Great video quality as well. Thanks!
Excellent. I have around 100 smaller stumps on the property after clearing a few acres a couple years ago. I was seriously debating on buying this exact grinder, or to get a PTO grinder for my tractor. It also almost seemed I should get both since this will get into places the tractor can't fit, even though the tractor will be faster. Thanks for the video. This is the first time I've seen someone use the tool right.
They all cut good as long as they're sharp...... I like those small machines

i just cut down 4 palms on the side of my house. i thought i'd dig around the stumps and yank them out with an engine hoist. piece of cake, yeah right! try that when the soil is gravel and clay. you've convinced me to go this route. thank you for that slap on the head.
Thanks for the video. Good content. I actually turned down a job a few years ago to grind stumps because I didn't think the little chipper from the rental place would be good enough.
thanks for posting.. i'm considering buying something similar and just wanted an idea of what I was getting into.. and not a sales demonstration, this video is perfect.. sometimes simple is better
Great video, very helpful and a realistic approach. Also I'm a dad too so I think it's cool you left your son in asking about the grinder/video in the end too👍.
Brilliant video. Have watched others where people are slapping the stumps. Very methodical....the approach I,ll be using tomorrow here in the UK 🇬🇧 . Thank you
That’s Awesome you really explain about this machine it’s also like the price you got it for it looks like you can take it like you said to places that most can’t go . Thanks for sharing
Just took out 3 large stumps about 2 foot across each, took 6 hours to grind them down, if the Chippings look like "pulled pork" it's not working properly, blunt and or worn bearings, it should chip not rub. Hope this helps
goes to show you what a handy person can accomplish ive looked at these machines new and for what you have into this one is a great deal i’m kind of in the same mindset as i’m not in a hurry and i like saving money plus i also like the portability of these units
This and the bandit are excellent machine for most homeowner applications. Hope you also consider the PREDATOR a handheld model quite useful in confined working spaces. Don't forget plywood planks serve as runners for hard to access spots.
Great Video. Yes, your correct, most other videos, don't give a true picture of how its done as well as how long it really takes. It gets a AAA rating!
That was the very best video I personally have ever watched on RUclips and I watched it 3 times from start to finish. Please make some more great video’s like this in the future!!! 👍
Great video and thanks for the real time!! My wife and run a lawn care and small trimming business, just getting around to doing some stump work for some customers. Renting from Home Depot first then maybe we'll purchase our own.
Thanks man, been on the fence about renting one or hiring some company to do it. Large birch stump about the same size diameter and surface roots of a large pine tree where we are keeping the stump for decorative purposes.
Thank you for an honest and great video for this stump grinder. I am going to pick one up at a rental company and put it to work. Thank you for this video bra.
Ive rented one of these a couple times and the teeth were always beat to hell because its a rental after all. I think now that I need one again, I'll just buy one and then use it at my leisure and sell it when Im done.
I always say what gets the job done the way one wants it then that's ok. This is a nice setup. I wonder if a pivot could be added with a slider to go forward and back and a brake of some sort to hold in place. Theres garden tractor rear units for units like deere 420s with 20hp and up. Great film
35 yr tree man here, i do 4 foot stumps with the same machine. I can throw it on the back of the truck and bring it almost anywhere. Maintenance is a breeze.
You are best advised to start grinding 3 feet back from a big stump, make broad sweeps and clear away the loose soil you displace. Then as you approach the body of the stump you are grinding the large anchor roots and are low enough to grind the 'floor' of the stump from the side approach or at least get the floor without having to 'dig deep' for it. This way you will do some work clearing loose fluffy soil in the beginning and avoid finding yourself on top of a pile of chip-soil mix that is both preventing you from reaching your work and obscuring the location of the deeper stump. You will know what I mean when you get at it.
Thanks for posting. Most videos online show folks abusing these machines & are brutal to watch. This is a great video. I was wondering if this machine could handle bigger 36" D to 48" D stumps....but seeing yours was 27" D at 13mins, I have my answer. Thanks again!
Thanks Banshee for the video. One thing I was wondering if you or anyone else here can help me with, is I'm thinking about renting one of these machines to grind a stump. It's actually quite a bit smaller of a tree than the one you ground. I would say maybe they're only 16" diameter max, maybe even as little as 12". The trick is, I have to get down further because i need to plant grass where they are. They are ornamental trees that are on mounds that come about 8-12' out of the ground, so not only do I need to take these root infested mounds down, but get I'm guessing 5-6" beneath the surrounding ground level. Do you think that is possible to do all that with a machine like this? I'm guessing the one I want to rent has similar specs. It's a Bluebird with a 14" cutter wheel.
Thanks for the video. I'm looking at renting a stump grinder but didn't think it was powerful enough to grind an old maple tree stump in my backyard. It's a large stump. I do everything myself, don't want to pay thousands of dollars to some contractor!
I bought a used one from home depot and after a few adjustments... it works great. There were some things I had to fix and probably the bearings soon too. For the price I already made my money back and more.
Great video and honest feedback. As you said the internet is sadly full of knuckleheads eager to criticize with self serving comments and unfortunately often from over charging idiots that drive people to DIY. There are lots of bad DIY stories out there but this is for anyone who is handy that can easily do this. A solid customer base is built on honest fair priced quality service, not fear and criticism. I have a skid steer with an auger and stump planer attachment and your machine is comperable in the time it took.
It made quick work of the stump that was above the surface, but it did not go very deep. You would have to go deeper to ever have grass, or to ever plant anything there.
Nice job for a smaller machine. Im looking at renting a smaller machine to do two medium size stumps and after seeing this i think it should do the job.
Thanks for the vid, I have like 4 stumps to remove, they're not that big like that but I have big river pebbles around them I have to remove them cause I don't want them flying around and possibly breaking some glass or something. thxs.
Pretty good job..Hardest part is seeing what you're doing and not being able to push the machine forward when you get a huge pile of chips piled up in front of the wheels..I own a DK2 I bought from Lowes for around $2,000..it's a Heavy Beast
You ground this one down to 3” below grade and said that was enough considering you weren’t planting grass above it. How deep (ideally) would someone need to go if they planned on planting grass seed over top of it? Thank you, great video
Hi, i've removed mine those days. As long as you have hard wood, i mill it ! Frequently 1.5 feet. Mine was a mix of stump and kind of mangrove under the soil. That's diff like night and day after, and you will know it visually when it's done :)
5" for the roots to fully establish, with most grasses. I've seen grass grow over 2" deep stumps no problem. Source: 10 years experience stump grinding 💪
Thank you for this video, i was curious how a rental quality machine would work. I have some very large stumps to get rid of and was curious if my body can make it through all of them in a single day (12 stumps ranging from 20 inches to a big 25x40 that had 3 trees in 1.
I have a dosko it had a14hp on it I ripped it off and put a 22hp predator from harbor freight I found on marketplace for 300$ and it's a beast now that stump will take 10min. Also put a 2500 pound winch on the deck up front to load in a pickup with ramps works great.
As a kid I was familiar with the commercial grade large grinder. So glad I found this for the 13hp I have like 3 32x27 in stumps and 5 tree to fell and grind some roots. So good to k on these are adequate for that size. Decent amount of time so to be safe ill do a day rate. Is it wise to get a second blade?
Banshee I got a one at homedepot....I like also that you are using without lock.....I think I would like it better if I did the way you did it......with caution as always...thanks for fast reply.... Rick
Man, what a great video, what brand do you highly recommend a person purchase if purchased new? If used, what brand do you recommend to purchase? I just need something small like yours

Totally agree Vic
Great video and thanks from the bottom of my heart for not using obnoxious "music"
I like your voice over explanations! 👍
Just watched. HD guy wanted me to get big machine for $300 a day. 13 HP should be enough for 14" palm stumps. Thanks for putting my mind at ease
Awesome work! Exactly what we needed to see, no long intro or section of talking without actually showing the work. Thank you
Appreciate the honesty & simple, effective demonstration. Very helpful.
Well thought out (considerate w voice over) video. That you gave an honest hands on opinion is what most viewers look for. Thanks.
You make it look so easy! As a woman, this makes me confident I can do this myself. Thanks for the video!

Thanks man I appreciate this video, nice work! You made my decision to rent one easy, glad I did
I agree, many videos not showing anything useful!! Albeit for a living a larger machine would definitely make things easier
This and the bandit are excellent machine for most homeowner applications. Hope you also consider the PREDATOR a handheld model quite useful in confined working spaces. Don't forget plywood planks serve as runners for hard to access spots.

@@bpekarek1986 It was amazing man. It took me about 45-50 minutes to grind three stumps.

35 yr tree man here, i do 4 foot stumps with the same machine. I can throw it on the back of the truck and bring it almost anywhere. Maintenance is a breeze.
If you wanna go deeper you gotta clear away the chips.
Grind mostly the SIDE of the stump, grinding down from the top is a lot slower.
Great tips!!
