The Stump Slayer: Adventures with Stump Grinding

I'm doing a job removing a norway maple stump for a customer. Along the way I hit a big rock! That was only a minor setback as I dug the rock out of the ground and finished the job.

[@michaellalanae7228]

That's why you can use a pressure washer to expose what's underneath and around the roots without digging . simply dig out a slurry ditch first so the water can drain out and away .

[@gdchannel73]

Yeah that's a good idea, thanks!

@@gdchannel73 we had a tree that had communication lines under it .

[@cpcattin]

Beaver power is the strongest force on earth.

[@goldie423]

I'm curious, how much did you charge for that job?

[@gdchannel73]

Like most people say each job is different and depends on your area but I that it was $350 CAD.

[@cpcattin]

Reminds me of eating an elephant. One bite at a time.

[@gdchannel73]

Haha yeah, true!

Is that a 2023 or a 2024 Vermeer stump cutter????. Фронтальным погрузчиком не проще дёрнуть пень?.

[@gdchannel73]

I got it late in 2021, so I'm pretty sure it was the 2022 model.

[@lyman135]

Do you have to do an 811 dig call before doing this in case there are buried water, gas, sewer, cable, etc?

[@gdchannel73]

Yes we have a similar call before you dig service that we have to call.

[@gdchannel73]

Многие рабочие места имеют доступ к заднему двору, что затрудняет доставку туда большой машины.

[@kattmcknight]

This is my first time seeing you. Hope everything turns out ok

[@gdchannel73]

Hi thanks for the comment! It turned out well, hitting rocks etc is pretty common with stump grinding so I'm used to it!

[@jrac863]

What would u charge for a job like this?

[@troyoser5911]

I find them all the time in NE Ohio

I hit a ax maul head with my grinder

[@romanhlubucek6713]

waht kind of engine is there

[@gdchannel73]

It's a 37 hp Kohler gas engine. Thanks for watching!

[@Taras-Nabad]

You could have accomplished the same thing by setting it on fire a few times. Would have also cost less.

[@gdchannel73]

Haha yeah true. In a more rural area it would be easier than where that house is located though.

[@jackgreen6353]

I have ground up countless half burned stumps out it the countryside. It's safe to say it's not effective

[@joehalas378]

But you did not remove the stump? You just made a difference pile of wood? It says removal service!

[@gdchannel73]

Yeah I guess you're right, it went from a stump to mulch and dirt! Most of the jobs I do is just grinding the stump, chip removal is usual separate. A lot of homeowners just use it for much or spread it around in their gardens.

[@MrStratbat]

had to mute the music out,,I was enjoying the machine..

[@gdchannel73]

Thanks, it's hard to know sometimes how music to put in, or not. Still learning and thanks for the feedback!
