The grinding wheel should be perpendicular to the ground when grinding. It will tilt away from the tractor as you move forward but, you should adjust your speed to keep it as perpendicular as possible. You may need to get a shorter top link. That's what I had to do for my JD 1025R
Best of luck with it. I will be looking for a follow-up after more use. I purchased the 1P24, knocked out 28 stumps of all sizes with ease. Moved to 29 and the shaft snapped behind the slip clutch. Since i uncrated myself and installed myself (as you did) the warranty was voided. They said i should have had the dealer install it, that even surprised the dealer. I have some spare cutters if you need them.
I have a BAUMALIGHT 24 used on my ‘92 1620 & ‘93 1520 FORD Compact Hydro Tractors, 22 & 18.5 PTO-HP respectively. I also had to trim the PTO shafts & guards before use. There was no trouble setting up the cutting flywheel perpendicular to the ground surface at such cutting height as shown in the manual. This keeps the universal joints at each end of the PTO shaft in close x-axis alignment when under load for longevity. I believe the setup, with top of flywheel tipped severely towards your tractor, you have in your video, is improper although possibly your lightweight stump grinder may call for what you did. Please report on this to your audience. My manual also stated that the 2 flywheel bearings were shipped dry and to grease the zerk fittings before first use to grind stumps. One of the zerks was loose, the threads were stripped both on the zerk and the bearing housing. I had to retap the housing and install a new zerk to grease one bearing. I called the Canadian supplier who confirmed they are merely a reseller of a Chinese manufacturer’s product(s). The access to the slip clutch mechanism and the mounting pin to the stumper are laughable and, not practical on mine. I’ve made arrangements to replace the slip clutch & PTO latch pin with a pull back PTO collar and shear pin. The slip clutch only slipped twice in 3 seasons of use on hard maple and native cherry stumps. Thus shear pin use will not be a burden compared to annual slip clutch adjustments, testing, readjustment-UGH! My BAUMALIGHT is now 3 years in service and is OK to demolish 16”+ stumps providing the ground surface slope is out too severe. Seeing what is going on behind the operator during stump grinding is another matter. A spotter &/or a wifi camera makes a big difference in my productivity. Product design, steel fabrication and welding are very good quality in my view (retired professional engineer) but, all bearings, pins, cutter teeth, PTO shaft-slip clutch-PTO lock pin, zerks, etc. are outsourced from other Chinese suppliers to assemble this product as typical in final manufacturing and assembly in my experience.
@@hhamilton1970 I was having trouble getting the pto shaft cut to the proper length on my Kioti 2610 cab tractor. Seems the stump grinder mounts too close to the tractor to achieve the proper angles. Baumalite customer service recommended to use a quick hitch to get the machine further away from the tractor making it easier to get the correct angles. Works great that way.
Hey Hank what's up man how you been doing you and the fam there lately I'm doing good so far I'm hanging in there with everything I appreciate the thoughts and prayers that everyone has sent it means a lot it's pretty cool being able to watch these videos you bring out and it's awesome that you give advice on different tools to get used on tractors that you use personally on your property to do work or whether you're helping out friends it's really awesome that a lot of times you do stuff out of the kindness of your heart and not expect pay in return because the thing of it is we don't have a lot of people in this world that will do things for others and don't always expect compensation or money back if we would have more people like that in this world I believe that we'd have a lot more kindness and compassion than we do now
I feel this is good for the person that has a lot of time and money. To me you could rent a commercial grinder and do everything big and small in one day. I couldn’t see me purchasing this it appears too anemic. Just saying Hank don’t get annoyed with me. You need to spend more time with Gina’s Chickens. They need you. 😊

Good job and God bless y'all
Thank you

I seen the manual say something about that. Hate you had that experience. Every Baumalight product we own has been awesome.
That is some shady tactics there. Seems like a defect in the shaft or something that they should have fixed.
Come on driver, thats one bad little maama jama! Maybe a face shield next time, gotta protect that money maker🤣. Stay safe Ham fam!
The grinder works great. Nice to have that option for a small sub compact tractor. Thanks for demonstrating it Hank.
It's gonna get a lot of use around here.

Hey Hank! That's a great little attachment. Do you know if it's Quick Hitch compatible? I'm asking Santa for one!
I would assume so.

Thanks for the kind words.
country view acres also just got one
Just a tick bigger than this one 😊👍 I like Evan's channel a lot
@@hhamilton1970 ya just a little
Grind those there stumps
Yes sir
I feel this is good for the person that has a lot of time and money. To me you could rent a commercial grinder and do everything big and small in one day. I couldn’t see me purchasing this it appears too
anemic. Just saying Hank don’t get annoyed with me. You need to spend more time with Gina’s Chickens. They need you. 😊
definitely a niche product. perfect for a small business owner that needs to do this every now and then for their job.
What about grinding rock
I wouldn't use it for that
Grind all the white rock you want but you're gonna buy a lot of teeth and get nothing done
Another con to me was having to move tractor forward and backwards instead of being able tot move grinder side to side.😊
They do make a side to side grinder. Just not one this small👍
