Hi Tony, great video. I have the same stump grinder and I use it with my old 21 hp Kubota. Works great…like you said with a smaller machine you just have to take smaller bites! By the way on advise from someone else I bought a cheap rear-view camera and mounted it in the hitch so I don’t have to look backwards all the time. Works like a charm and saves the neck!
Thats a great tip. I had cervical fusion surgery in my neck about 10 years ago and lost some of the flexibility in my neck. That sounds like its what I need.
I learned as much watching my on video as I did operating it that day. I love the rearview camera idea too. Very smart. I cut on the wrong side a lot. Thank you for the insight.
Tightening the hitch arms made all the difference! Keeps the implement from hopping around. I wouldn't be afraid to use the T 25 on any stump! Like an elephant, one bite at a time. lol
Very impressive! I would definitely give the T25 two thumbs up 👍 👍 Had plenty of power and made quick work of them all. It'll definitely pay for itself if you have the stumps to clear and save lots of money, so yes....good investment. Thanks for sharing Tony!!
Great demo, Tony. Looked like it did an AWESOME job on those stumps...no need to run higher horsepower if it's not needed, right?! 👍 That's an implement I can see paying you back quickly when you're starting a new farm or homestead....always stumps in the way!
About three years ago I paid about $600 to have one black walnut stump removed at my home. It was a huge stump. This was before I had a tractor. I now have four more to do and have added 40 acres of land to my property holdings. This thing will pay for itself at my home and be incredibly useful as I develop areas of my land. Should have no problem with my MF 1835E. Great video!
Tractor looks fine to me! I have a Kioti 30Hst and a Woodland Mills Grinder and the Tractor is no issue at all. Small tractors get into tight areas best and leave no damage to the grounds for the most part
Good morning Tony. I’ll not “Monday morning quarterback” you. I don’t have one but will be getting one. As you stated you were/are still learning it’s usage. Like you, I learned from your video, mistakes were made but lessons were learned. Thanks for doing this for us armchair wanttobes. Not sure if that’s even a word, but you get it. Stan here. Glad to see you guys are recovered.
Thank you for your comments. I did learn a lot from the video. I may do another video about what I learned at a later date. I have plenty of stumps to learn on.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Hey Tony, I went ahead an ordered my stump grinder. Price has not gone up, but delivery time is extended. I was supposed to order mid April so it would be here upon my return from FL. I did not, my bad! Lots to learn, keep them coming. Stan here.
Thank you. It has taken us years to get to this point. For us it is cheaper to buy the equipment than randomly rent to work around our schedule. I am pleased with how this worked out.
That grinder looks like a good investment. With the number of stumps you will have once the trees are down, you’ll save money over having someone come in and grind them for you. The 24.7hp looks like it did a great job. Slow and steady…
Good video, Tony. I noticed when you first started grinding that you moved right to left and it worked pretty smoothly, except when you tried to take too big of a bite. Later on I noticed you moving left to right and it was trying to "walk" on you. Due to the rotation of the grinder you should always move right to left (move toward the deflector). I have a Mechmaxx grinder the same size as yours and I have a Kubota 2380 and it handles stumps like a boss!
You should be starting from the other side of the stump, the side you start on causes the unit to crawl up and take a bigger bite then stall the tractor. Starting on the other side pushes the unit out of the stump and less jumping.
It’s nice I think if you start from the discharge side and work back to the other side it would work better that way you are not clogging up the side that chips go out but it dose a great job on the smaller tractor as well
Great video Tony, I think the T25 is a very capable and efficient tractor for stump grinding once you got a feel for it. Persistence and patience pay off.👍
Hi Tony, I’m new to your videos but I did notice that you start on the left side of the stump and I noticed the hopping. When watching a video for the Woodland Mills version of this grinder they pointed out that you should start on the right side so it doesn’t hop and the teeth are pulling down when it digs. Just my .02. Thanks for the content!
Hi Tony, Just a suggestion when you move forward it seems that if you started on the right side of the stump that is looking at the back of the tractor it might not jump as much because of the rotation of the cutting wheel. Ron USCG Chief ret
That size tractor is perfect for 99% of the jobs around a homestead. Looks like it did a good job Tony. It is the kind of implement I would want to rent though and not own it. The tractor is a keeper. The smaller size tractor is great.
I 100% agree. The T25 is my go to tractor for precise work. I use the T474 only for brute force. The T25 is a little small for my MINI CLIP tree shear.
Nice video! No doubt the 25hp tractors can handle the grinders. I’ve got a Baumalight 1P24 that I use with my JD 1025r. One advantage your T25 has over my 1025r is the higher 3 point lift. The Baumalight design also compounds that because it has a flex point in it, where the wheel lays down in the direction of the tractor as it engages the stump. That gives it more teeth engaged with the stump, but it sags when you raise it so the lack of lift height is even more of a hurdle. Power wise though, there’s plenty there as you learn how to feel it out and when to back off. By the way, late last year when I bought the 1P24 it was $2700 including shipping. Not sure what they’re running now, but for people in the market it might be a better value.
Jeremy, I agree 100%. The little Yanmar has the power. This grinder is not built as heavy as the Baumalight. I seen one of theirs at the show. At the time I got this one, Baumalight had a 12 month lead time. I have no complaints to this point about this grinder, but I feel sure the Baumalight will last longer. I just bought a new HD flail mower from Baumalight.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Wish I could justify that flail mower. Looking forward to watching your toys and continued progress. I don’t comment a lot but you do a great job and I love following along!
What I know about tractors and stump grinders is equivalent to a pea in a boxcar, but it looked to me like it worked. Maybe not as powerfully as the bigger tractor but it worked. Also, it’s a lot of fun to watch. Keep up the good work!
Honestly, I am like a kid playing with his toys. I learned a lot that day. I cut on the wrong side of the stump several times. I am still learning. Thank you for your cool comment. Tony
Try grinding on the right hand side of the stump as you are looking at the rear of your tractor. You are jumping around on that stump, working right to left will cut better and not stall the cutting teeth IMHO. Enjoyed your vid!
It appears that power is not the problem for the T25. It cuts smoother from the right hand side of the stump so that the blade is cutting up the stump (with the grain) rather than down into the stump/grain of the timber, hence less grabbing. Tightening the 3 point linkage helped a lot too.
Hey Tony, that T25 does a fine job on them stumps, it’s a slow process and very dangerous no matter what size tractor your using , but since you can see what your doing with that T25, I’d stick with it ,make that yanmar work!
I never perceived any serious danger. I think it is more dangerous to drive on the highway. I think I will stick with the T25, but I still have a lot to learn. I cut on the wrong side of the stump half the time.
@@TonysTractorAdventure It’s like when I was on the dairy farm ,spreading manure in the field , I had to learn to spread in a headwind as if it where a tail wind I’m the one that got the spreading 😆😆
I just got a Baumalight something. The Baumalight 1P24 seems a bit heavier built over mine. I looked at a show. I was going to buy one, but there was a long wait list. Mine is holding up, so that is good.
Tony, what if you try cutting the stumps where the cutting wheel isn’t trying to climb up the stump? Seems that might help eliminate some of the jumping. Nonetheless you got the jobs done.
I'm not a lumberjack so maybe I'm wrong but when trying to cut out the stump, if you position the blade so if it pushes off the stump, it doesn't climb on more material. Conventional milling (on a Bridgeport) allows you to cut without digging in so movement in the machine won't cause the cutter to grab.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Hey Tony, thanks for the heads up. I didn't have time to watch the full video at the time but I went back and looked at your time stamp. (37:18 Closing Thoughts) probably to much for me to spend on due to the lack of tree stumps on my property but I can see it would definitely be worth having if you have a lot of stumps to get rid of. I might have a look at our local guys to see if I can hire one for the day! Great video, thanks Tony
Woodland Mills WG24 which looks just like the one in the video but is green is currently available for $2800 shipped to your door. I have one on a Mahindra Max 26 and it works great.
Place is really looking good guys and the stump grinder is a handy tool. I really like that tym t25 been looking at one near me might have to check it out.
I have watched commercial arborists grind out stumps and they start at the top and grind down an inch or two at a time on back and forth motions. The T25 seems to be handling it well but you're taking too big of bites.
Hi Tony. I always enjoy your videos. I have a Mahindra 2836 and a Massey GC1710 w backhoe. I have a walk behind dr stump grinder that has paid for itself probably 20 times over but I am thinking about a 3pt grinder. Thank you for sharing. Also….. your wife is a wonderful photographer. Have a great week.
I have use this grinder a lot on our homestead. The timber was cut 20 years ago, but the Oak stumps are still hanging in. I have removed at least 100 stumps.
You also have to think about pto shaft size inside the tractor if your using it on something that is supposed to have a bigger hp tractor the smaller one could run it but at greater risk of tearing out the pto driveline
The stump grinder is rated between, 15-40HP. TYM overbuilds their tractors too. This tractor transmission is used on 30HP tractors in other parts of the world. Tier 4 EPA stuff has tractor companies limiting the small tractors in the US.
My worry is if you move the Travel Trailer over here to this spot and live there for time you will need a leach field for it and a bulldozer will have to remove the bottom part of the stumps!!!!
There are no stumps where the leach field will be. We will remove stumps were they are needed, but still, it will be easier to just dig through the leftover roots.
Great video. Help me get the technique straight... From the operator's position, facing forward, do you start grinding from the right side of the stump?
Tony, you attacked the first stumps from the right side while you did the big stump from the left side and seemed to have more jumping all over. Do some more testing. Also, your front hydraulic line seems hanging low. Thanks for the video.
Great video! I would love to have a stump grinder for my Kubota but cant really justify the price. If I had more land and more to clear, maybe. It seemed to work pretty well. As you said, once you tightened up the hitch to make it stiffer, it seemed to work better.
Just wondering why you would grind the stumps and not remove them with say a backhoe what's their ground down you still can't take any implements or anything over them cuz they'll snag on them won't they?
I cut them 6" to 8" under the ground. The ground stays solid and I will plant grass over this. This is our future front yard/pasture. We will clear the stumps in places we build, but we have hundreds of stumps.
I think it would hold up. Plus, you should charge the going rate. It cost $500 or more just to have three medium stumps removed. I believe money can be made. Don't be the cheapest guy. Be the friendliest and most punctual guy.
We don't have rock here. Gizmo stays by Tanja. He doesn't like the stump grinder. Gizmo is on his bed watching RUclips with me tonight. He has a tough life. 😁
At the time, this was about $2000 and the swing arm are over $6000. The swing arm stump grinder also requires dual rear remotes. That is not a factory option for most small tractors.
Definitely a lot less chatter than with the tall tyres on the bigger prime mover. That was a great showing from the 25. Mind if you hired a 25 pedestrian from the local shop you'd really think you had something, even if the wheel would be a bit smaller. For me, with a good operator it's a win.
Hey Tony. I like watching your videos. Keep up the good work buddy. Quick question for you though I was wondering if you use the stump grinder from the other side of the tractor? I noticed when it is in use it wants to pull itself or take too big of a bite from the right side of the tractor. Just wondering if pulling from the other side of the tractor would not let it eat so much? Thanks
I have tried the stump grinder in so many ways. I am sure there is an art to it, but I have not found it yet. It ends up getting it done, so I think that is a win.👍
Hey brother, just my 2 cents. But youre using the incorrect side of the wheel. These types of stump grinders are meant to be using the left side if youre looking at it from the rear. The side with the flap is your cutting side to about the middle of the wheel. So start on the right side of the stump and work your way left. Take small bites, try that out, and you wont get the hopping youre experiencing. Good luck, hope that helps you some.
Hi Tony. Very impressive work with the T25 and stump grinder. However, it looks like the stump grinder blade also has teeth on the back edge. Is it not possible to grind in forward and reverse, dropping a little as you move in each direction? You and Tania keep up the good work and stay safe as we follow you on your journey. Stan (UK)
There are no teeth on the back. The back side is the nut and washer holding the cutter on. I have learned a lot from watching my own video. I cut from the wrong side often.
No, it should not. The slip clutch this is made to slip at a certain torque. If the clutch slips too much then it will burn up. The clutch is only going to slip when it takes a hard hit.
Great job Tony. It sure made nice work of those stumps. What's the HP at the PTO end for operating the grinder? Really nice seeing the wife back out there with you. I trust she's feeling a lot better. Take care and stay safe.
Thank you for the insight. I am still learning and experimenting. All the severe bouncing stopped after I tightened up the 3 point hitch linkage. I will pay more attention next time.
Good review. Am considering buying one myself but wanted to know if my John Deere 3025E, which also has the 25 hp engine, would run it. Now I have a better idea. Is this a Bamalite or a Woodland Mills?
2 major things doing wrong. 1) the clutch on PTO shaft is set way to tight for that tractor 2) the pins are not to be in grinder while using. There for transport and storage only. The stump grinder is made to tilt while using, to get the most teeth possible grinding the stump. Also by having to pins in, your putting far more stress on grinder framework then designed to have.

I agree. Adding all the stumps up, It has paid for itself. Now, only 200 more stumps to go. 🤣
This is a situation where hydro is almost necessary for the infinite speed control as you eat into the stump. Great video!
It is recommended only HST for stump grinders.

I think it gets the job done just fine Tony, as long as you take small bites and don’t rush things.
You are right again. It is hard to see the bite size from the tractor.
Now that was a hard test cherry is one of the hardest wood to cut the grinder did very well on that stump
That's one tuff Lil tractor I new it would do it always enjoy watching your videos God bless and keep them coming stay safe and God bless

Tony, you attacked the first stumps from the right side while you did the big stump from the left side and seemed to have more jumping all over.
Do some more testing. Also, your front hydraulic line seems hanging low.
Thanks for the video.
You are correct
Great video! I would love to have a stump grinder for my Kubota but cant really justify the price. If I had more land and more to clear, maybe. It seemed to work pretty well. As you said, once you tightened up the hitch to make it stiffer, it seemed to work better.
I understand. Clearing all this land justifies it for us. If you get one, your family will become very friendly with you. 🤣
@@TonysTractorAdventure Your right! Heck just having a tractor made me more popular.
Amazing job for little tractor.
I don't use the stump grinder on the big tractor anymore. It works so good on the T25
Another great video, thanks again.
Thank you. Looking forward to doing more.
Just wondering why you would grind the stumps and not remove them with say a backhoe what's their ground down you still can't take any implements or anything over them cuz they'll snag on them won't they?
I cut them 6" to 8" under the ground. The ground stays solid and I will plant grass over this. This is our future front yard/pasture. We will clear the stumps in places we build, but we have hundreds of stumps.
T25 done a great job.I was wandering if tym made a tractor between the tym 25 and your 474 ?God bless Tony
Yes they do, a T394, at about 37 hp. They’re not as popular, so you don’t hear much of them.
@gary agreeed
awesome, bring it too my place
I will be right there. Let me finish up my 200 stumps first! LOL!
I think the T25 and the stump grinder gets A+++++++++++++++
Me too. It will be the go-to tractor for the stump grinder.
What about using it as a additional part of a side work business with a compact tractor. You think it can hold up long term?
I think it would hold up. Plus, you should charge the going rate. It cost $500 or more just to have three medium stumps removed. I believe money can be made. Don't be the cheapest guy. Be the friendliest and most punctual guy.
Looked like it did the work but I was concerned for gizmo if it would shot out a rock or something else he be hurting
We don't have rock here. Gizmo stays by Tanja. He doesn't like the stump grinder. Gizmo is on his bed watching RUclips with me tonight. He has a tough life. 😁
Nice i like it!
I am pleased with both pieces of equipment.
Hey Tony great video on other videos I've watched they took smaller bites and looked like you were trying to go a bit fast
Still learning.
Hey Tony, why does your TYM look so much like my Mahindra 25 HST? Are they made by the same company?
Because TYM makes most of their tractors. Mahindra only make a few of their own models.
the revs being high the hydraulic, up down is fast , consider dropping revs, adjust to less cutting depth, raize the revs again then proceed to cut.
Still lots to learn. Thank you.
Why did you choose that kind of stump grinder over the ones with the swing arm?
Thank you
At the time, this was about $2000 and the swing arm are over $6000. The swing arm stump grinder also requires dual rear remotes. That is not a factory option for most small tractors.
Definitely a lot less chatter than with the tall tyres on the bigger prime mover. That was a great showing from the 25. Mind if you hired a 25 pedestrian from the local shop you'd really think you had something, even if the wheel would be a bit smaller. For me, with a good operator it's a win.
A win it is. I learned from watching this video to cut from the side with the shoot. It keeps the stump grinder from jumping as much.
It's so obvious once you say it. Pulling it down into the work not propelling it up and out of it. What being an experienced operator is all about.
What is the reccomended power rating for the stump grinder? I think it's under powered.
15-40HP.
Hey Tony. I like watching your videos. Keep up the good work buddy. Quick question for you though I was wondering if you use the stump grinder from the other side of the tractor? I noticed when it is in use it wants to pull itself or take too big of a bite from the right side of the tractor. Just wondering if pulling from the other side of the tractor would not let it eat so much? Thanks
I have tried the stump grinder in so many ways. I am sure there is an art to it, but I have not found it yet. It ends up getting it done, so I think that is a win.👍
is that 25hp at the pto?
18-19HP at PTO
Hey brother, just my 2 cents. But youre using the incorrect side of the wheel. These types of stump grinders are meant to be using the left side if youre looking at it from the rear. The side with the flap is your cutting side to about the middle of the wheel. So start on the right side of the stump and work your way left. Take small bites, try that out, and you wont get the hopping youre experiencing. Good luck, hope that helps you some.
Agreed. That was a good while a back. I have some real time on the unit now.
tym good
I have a 40 hp Massey, I would love to have that grinder in my yard for 2 hours. I thought it worked well for HP.
I have used in on my 48HP TYM, but it is hard to see. I am thinking about using a backup camera to see. Still, the little tractor did good.
What is the orange plate on the top of the wheel dome for?
It is made to mount a chainsaw to the stump grinder. I will never use it.
Hi Tony. Very impressive work with the T25 and stump grinder. However, it looks like the stump grinder blade also has teeth on the back edge. Is it not possible to grind in forward and reverse, dropping a little as you move in each direction? You and Tania keep up the good work and stay safe as we follow you on your journey. Stan (UK)
There are no teeth on the back. The back side is the nut and washer holding the cutter on. I have learned a lot from watching my own video. I cut from the wrong side often.
Shouldn’t the slip clutch on the pto shaft slip before it kills the engine ? I’m certainly no expert. Just wondering.
No, it should not. The slip clutch this is made to slip at a certain torque. If the clutch slips too much then it will burn up. The clutch is only going to slip when it takes a hard hit.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Thanks.
From what I can see you're taking a huge bite. I think that thing would do just fine if it was a little less aggressive on the swipes.
First time on the tractor. Still learning.
Looked like small bite did better than big bites.
I agree
💀😂😂😂 finna find out!! 💪🏻
That's right! 4 years of college, untold amounts of training, and I still use "Finkna"! 😜
Great job Tony. It sure made nice work of those stumps. What's the HP at the PTO end for operating the grinder? Really nice seeing the wife back out there with you. I trust she's feeling a lot better. Take care and stay safe.
Thank you. The T25 has about 18-19 PTO HP. It is rated for less, but they have been put on a dynamometer.
Would it grind a fresh new stump. Like if the tree fell today lol
Yes. The two Elms were yesterday's. Elm seems to be harder than Oak. I have ground down another 7 new stumps since that day. Some bigger
Awesome thanks for letting me know im so excited
You’re grinding the big one from wrong side always go right to left , I have a woodland mills grinder and it never bounces
Thank you for the insight. I am still learning and experimenting. All the severe bouncing stopped after I tightened up the 3 point hitch linkage. I will pay more attention next time.
If you cut from your right to the left with the grindr the wheel will not try to climb the stump and that's the only problem I saw
I agree. I learned a lot by watching my own video.
Good review. Am considering buying one myself but wanted to know if my John Deere 3025E, which also has the 25 hp engine, would run it. Now I have a better idea. Is this a Bamalite or a Woodland Mills?
This one is like Woodland Mills. The Bamaulight is a litter better made. I seen one at a show and was impressed. Still, this has held up well.
Well, it done ground it up outta there didn't it? It was fittin' to, then it done did it. Nothing wrong with that.
That was a good day.
You say it is "the same as the Woodland Mills", but what IS the actual brand of this unit?
There is no brand. I imported it.
will it work with my Myanmar 1610D 16hp diesel tractor
I would think it would be just a little to much.
Does the tractor have 3 point hitch stabalizer arms?
Yes it does. I think all modern tractors have stabilizer links or arms.
2 major things doing wrong.
1) the clutch on PTO shaft is set way to tight for that tractor
2) the pins are not to be in grinder while using. There for transport and storage only. The stump grinder is made to tilt while using, to get the most teeth possible grinding the stump. Also by having to pins in, your putting far more stress on grinder framework then designed to have.
The pins are not in. You seen that wrong. The clutch is slipping but could be adjusted.
What brand of grinder is this?
Same as Woodland Mills
Why not use floating head feature
put the tractor in low range 1st gear and let her eat smaller slower bites be much more efficient than big bites bogging the motor in my opinion
All stump grinder manufacturers recommend not using geared tractors, but I understand your point.
Them army ants are pissed
Yes there they were
At about 3:32 minutes he ran over and grounded up a ring neck snake.
You are the first person to see it. I seen it when I edited the video. I didn't know if someone would see it.
How far down did you go?
It is easy enough to go down 6" below surface if needed.
Big stump need small bites for smaller tractor
I was happy with it. Different trees require different speeds. Elm is hard.
Tony how much for the stump grinder?
I don't know now.
