The camera thing, that is a good idea. I have been thinking about that for the 3 point. Glad to see you gave an opportunity to see that in real time. It’s all in me head until now. Thanks!
Glad I could help with the visualization. Nothing worse than a sore neck after a day of running something on the 3 point. Thanks for watching and the kind comment!
Just got mine in and put together. Thank you for making this and learning with us. Great style sir and I appreciate you not worrying about what others think. Thank you again.
Great vid.I Bought mine in the fall. I can't wait to use it. I'm wondering if I should clear the base of my stumps with the backhoe due to my rocky ground. What do you advise?
I’ve been considering buying a stump grinder for the last year or two and your video was very helpful and thoughtful. For the know-it-alls of the world who get their jollies out of mocking and criticizing others, ignore them. Clearly they have other issues. I have wavered between a WM unit and one of the articulating grinders, but while I have quite a few stumps to grind (and will have many more), I don’t think 3-4 times the price of the WM unit makes sense. Even the fixed Baumalite version is substantially more expensive than the Woodland Mills. I already own a Woodland Mills chipper and it’s an excellent unit. Perhaps I”m bit biased since the founders of WM are fellow Canadian engineers (and I teach engineering) who founded their business only a couple hours down the road from me 😉 Great video - I have subscribed!
These grinders are a great value. When I bought this one, the tractor I had didn't have a rear remote so this style was my only option. I've used it on my larger compact tractor, and it works even better. Best of luck in your decision, and THANKS for the sub!
On that little sub compact tractor, you essentially have a machine that'll go about anywhere. And being a tractor, it is non-intrusive and non-damaging. I also want to add, you're one of the very FEW that operate this grinder correctly - down deep from the side and moving over, not bouncing around the top or working backwards. Keep up the good work both on the stumps AND on the videos!
Ground control, thank you for the very kind comment. I agree, the tractor definitely treads lighter than say a tracked stump grinder or skid loader. It does have it's limitations, but I love this little rig. One of the main reasons I went this route was how little damage it will do to yards/grass.
With this style of grinder hydrostatic transmission is a must (I didn't mention that in video). I've seen some try to use one with geared tractors and one can't make it go slow enough. If I had a larger framed tractor with rear remotes I would go with the style that swings back and forth. I know Bamalight has a version that works that way. Good luck on your research!
Oh, hydrostatic is the way to go...And yeah, I don't have rear remotes yet, so the non pivoting type grinder would be the one for me. Not only that, but there sure is a significant cost difference.
Thank you so much for all your hard work in editing and producing these videos. I ordered the exact same camera you have. I am installing the camera today. Set up stump grinder yesterday. Your videos have been a HUGE help in reducing the learning curve.
None of us are experts when we start, not many people have much experience with stump grinders let alone on the rear of a tractor. You do it exactly like I do it although you have a camera and I don’t (as of now) thanks for the tip and the video
Agreed, that camera is the best part of the setup for saving my neck from getting knots in it. So happy to have it and others have commented on it as well. Glad to help save some necks out there.
After grinding close to 100 stumps with my WG24, I can truly appreciate how much work went into your videos. Great job, and thank you for your dedication to making these vids for folks like me. You cover every important aspect of running this implement. I absolutely love my Woodland Mills implement, their products and customer support are off the charts fantastic and this machine is at a very fair price point. Thanks again for your tips and excellent vids, keep up the great work!
Bill, thank you for the kind words. Glad you found it beneficial as many others have. I agree, woodland mills make a great product and a reasonable price. They are more of them in my future. Thanks for watching and channel. Much appreciated!
I’m researching different Implements for my new Subcompact, now that I can pretty much use the Tractor. Your Video on the Stump Grinder is one of the Best I’ve seen. Most are more of a Commercial for the Product or a self justification for buying it. The Practical use and Revue you demonstrated puts WM in the top spot for me, it’ll only get used on our Land a few Dozen times over the years. (Using the Backhoe works, but Man, that’s a lot of work) And don’t worry about the Haters, everyone knows they are just Background Noise.
Thanks Fish! My goal was to share what I had figured out while using it to help folks decide or use their grinders. It's not a perfect grinder, but for the price and quality, it's a great value.
Thanks for a great video! Your video clarified some things for me, like showing where the grease fittings are, your setup, good video of the flywheel with the teeth, and most importantly where to start grinding on a new stump. With the rotation of the wheel, naturally, you'd want to start on the side that grinds upward as opposed to downward. Great stuff. Best of all is our camera setup! Great idea! I've craned my neck around using my Box Blade. I'll be getting a camera setup to keep from doing that with the grinder. I've got a couple hundred stumps to grind once it's delivered next week. Good job!
@@timbervisions Yes, I use the L4060 primarily for snow plowing. I have a few stumps of my own, and just cut down a bunch of dead pines on a customer’s property. Still not enough to justify the grinder, but I’m close!
@Kubota L4060 for the money is hard to beat. If I had your tractor though I'd probably go with the style that swings using rear remote. The woodland mills would still work well with your tractor too though, and a bit less expensive.
What you have learned from your early experience is not to climb cut as it wants to self feed. Good tips! Think I should get one. My OCD compels me to dig up the stumps.
I can understand your point, but if you never plan to put anything in the ground, grinding is faster and less of a mess to deal with after. I've never dug stumps, but from the videos I've seen, it leaves a big hole and lots of dirt to deal with. I can grind, then just push those grinding back in the hole and I'm done.
I bought one of the Yakry BU cameras for my 09 F150 and I'm impressed for the money. I didn't install it in the reverse circuit. I use the push button and it works great. I have a TYM T474 HST and I'm going to buy a WG24 in the next few weeks. I appreciate the videos you put out. You're one of the few the start on the correct side of the stump and show good speed control.
Hey Sam, thanks for the kind comment. Those little cams are impressive and handy to have on this tractor specifically for grinding the stumps. I agree, many of the videos I watched prior to buying this stump grinder they started on the wrong side and seeing that made me question buying this style. After watching Woodland Mills video and him specifically stating to start on the right side (as you are looking forward) and seeing how well it worked then, I knew I was getting this stump grinder. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Good stuff, I have the same grinder on a John Deere 2032r. Done 130 stumps, clearing my woods of a bunch of dead ash trees. Some 2 feet across, it takes some time but works well. I rotate the upper teeth into the higher wear outside teeth, it keeps a fresh edge. I did find another supplier for the teeth, cheaper and seem to hold up well!
Wow, you've done some grinding! The largest stump I've done was around 45 inches. I did one edge then rotated 90 degrees to grind. Otherwise I couldn't reach the other side to start the cut. I'll have to look for that other supplier as I'm probably going to need some replacements soon. Good tip on moving the teeth up though, thanks for the information!
Good luck on your decision! I have not regretted getting one and use it mostly in residential areas and my own property. Thanks for stopping in and commenting!
This was a GREAT video! I have had this grinder for my CK30hst for several years. I have let a ton of stumps go simply because of the twisting neck issue also. NOT NOW! I had been wanting a camera system and watched your video specifically because of the camera on the previous video. THANK YOU for doing this. I had recent back surgery and now I'll be able to do this again. At 65 years old it'll be a pleasure again. I ordered one the other day after figuring out what you did and today watching this confirmed it and really helped solidify your mounting system. Thanks again!
I will be doing some soon with the new tractor. Winter was one reason, did one this spring and have a very large one to do at my place here soon when I get all the logs off of the stump and out of the way! Stay tuned!
Thanks for the great information Tim! Loved the explanation and insight. I've been considering getting one of these. Great idea on the camera. Would be helpful application for any rear work rather than craning the neck.
You have a pretty good video on how to grind stumps. I used it on my old B7510 Kubota but on that the 3pt was not position control but a quarter inching valve. That made it harder to set the height of the cutter for the next pass to be the same as the last pass. I updated to an LX2610 because I needed SSQA for the grapple as well as a loader that would lift more. Yes the little tractors are easier on the grass but the grinder tosses them around more because they are lighter machines. It's the old adage of you can't have everything!!! For viewing the stumps when grinding I have a wireless backup camera with the monitor on a cellphone holder and the camera on a tripod with a little 12v battery like what it's in a computer UPS. Works well battery lasts for hours.
David, I appreciate the kind words. Yes, it will move the tractor around a bit so I have to take smaller bites, plus the HP is right at the lower limit. The LX seems like a nice size tractor. Little more lifting capacity and larger frame. I have a RV camera I use for grinding and it works similar to what you have. Thanks for watching!
@@timbervisions I got one a couple months ago and it's a BEAST. Got it used for $1,700, but it was in pretty good shape. I've ground small stumps, BIG stumps, and everything in between. Great acquisition and I've learned a lot. I "did" use your recommendation on the RV camera and monitor. My neck and back really appreciate that recommendation.
@@georgelichak3972 Oh ya, I bet! We don't realize just how much pushing power these tractors have until you accidentally back into something. Something will have to give.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and explain how best to attack a stump with the grinder! What made you choose the WM stump grinder vs Baumalight? Also, would one of these stump grinders be a decent investment for some occassional side income? I wouldn't mind starting to do some work with my Deere 1025R (as my appraisal business has slowed a ton over recent months), and these stump grinders look like they'd be a decent way to add more possibilities to what I could offer. Thanks again! And by the way, you might mention your name in your videos or descriptions.
Glad the video was helpful. I use mine to do some side jobs, but wouldn't start a grinding business with only this grinder. I chose wm over baumalight because I could order the wm and it was shipped to me BL you need to find a dealer. That and price. Hope this helped-- Tim
Just received my grinder question I found a couple of teeth up closer to the bearing a socket would not fit on to torque them I just used the wrench that came with the grinder did you have that problem? Also on my kubota just below the PTO is a place for a trailer hitch or tounge not sure what its called but with my camera their you can see the entire flywheel. You might see if yours has that. seems like a good place. Keep the videos coming. Thank you.
Helba, yes I use the wrench that comes with the grinder to get those teeth loose if I need to change them. I have a spot like that on my tractor as well. I think it's referred to as the drawbar on a tractor. I'll have to see if my camera would work there. Great idea! Thanks for watching
Thanks for these tips. I did get this grinder and want to do this with a camera. And thank you for the videos! Incidentally, where did you get the magnets?
I put a electric metal box on the drawbar to keep weeds from knocking my camera off. Working good so far. Another question for you have you bought any other teeth for your grinder from anyone other then woodland mills & if so how do you like them. I've noticed a couple other companies selling them cheaper then woodland. Like 5 bucks cheaper. Thanks for your time.
That is a great idea on the metal box. I have replaced some from a different company and they seem to be working just fine. Here is a video on that. ruclips.net/video/42SvpEmxXGY/видео.html Link to the grinder teeth are in the description of this video. Hope this helps!
I'm looking hard at getting one of these grinders, but wow...how awesome is the rear camera set-up? It's cheap and can be set up for any 3 point thing. I ordered immediately from your links. I hope you get some kickback. Awesome channel - very helpful! Thank you so much for your expertise!
I really enjoyed this video. I'm thinking about getting one for a 38hp John Deere and getting some side jobs with it. What do you think? Will it hold up to 15 or 20 stumps a week? Thank you so much.
In my opinion I think it could work for some side jobs as I have started to do with this one. I would definitely stock up on some replacement teeth for it before you get too far into it. I've done about 24 or so stumps with mine and have some wear on the teeth that do the most work. (I touch on this in the video I posted right after this one) Would it hold up to it, I think so. I would not start a dedicated stump grinding business with it though. A dedicated stump grinder is better suited for constant work like that. It is tougher on larger stumps as well as you can only reach so far with it before the rear tires are against the stump. A larger framed tractor as you have would help with that. If I had rear remotes I would go with one that goes side to side. Baumalight makes one like the one in this video, but also one that grinds from side to side. Hope this helps, good luck to you.
Hey man. When you did your 50 hour service, did you take out the hydro trans screen too or no? Just replaced filter like manual says? I didn’t even think of screen until now and I’m at 82 hours but I believe it only called for filter ? 😬
Certainly, the CS2520 (one in this video ) has 18.5 HP at the PTO. I have since upgraded tractors, but that little beast will get it done. If memory serves min HP for the WG24 grinder is 18 at the PTO. Specs are on the website if you're close to that. Thanks for stopping in!
I have seen videos of them being sharpened. Have not done it myself as you need a diamond impregnated grinding wheel to sharpen them since they are carbide teeth. Maybe in the future I'll attempt it, but I found a reasonable place to find replacements for the time being and I'm not throwing them away when I replace them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What I did was price out what it would cost to have the stumps I need to remove and it was worth the investment quite quickly. With the money I saved from hiring out the stumps to be grinded and the few side jobs I did with it for money, I've saved/made over the cost of the grinder in one summer. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice video - preciate all the content you put out for the CS20, even as an owner already. What can you say about the HST whine? It's something that I just can't get over on mine. I have neighbors probably as close as you, and I try to be real respectible and keep things quiet. Motor is fine, but that hst. I was reminded of this when a neighbor had a lawn care company come to aerate his lawn with a 1025R. It just purred along. No comparison. It's honestly the one thing that's making me want to sell mine cs2220). Thanks for any feedback - a vid on your thoughts on the whine may get some attention
Appreciation the comment and understand exactly what you're referring to. Either I'm getting more used to it or mine has gotten quieter since I did my 50hr. Service. May just be that I'm used to it. It still whines for sure though. Good point, I'll have to look into this.
@@leeellisfabs I agree to a point, but seems excessive with the CS20 series. I do think it got better after my 50 hour service though. Other manufactures seem quieter, or Kioti engine is quieter so the transmission seems louder. All hydros do tend to whine though I agree.
For pricing on the grinding jobs I measure each stump and add those all up. Usually I charge $2.00 per inch of grinding. On this one, since there were many all at the same location, I charged a little less. I also charge for travel if it's not in my own town, currently $1 per mile one way. Hope this helps. I chose the Woodland mills over Baumalight mostly on price and availability.
Do you have a minimum? Such as, someone has one stump measuring 20" across and they don't live far away. Seems like you'd want a minimum amount for small jobs like that?
Great question! Now if the stump itself measures 20" inches across you need to factor in the roots of that stump. Most stumps will have roots that extend out another few inches past the stump so I would figure 26" of grinding area then I would charge $50-$55 in my quote. If it is a harder wood I would lean more toward the upper end. You have to factor in what other folks that grind in your area charge as well to figure your charge per inch. Hope this helps.
@timpreisser5462 Thanks! I've noticed through the years that all negative comments come from accounts without one single video of their own. I consider the source and carry on with my day. Thanks for the kind words. Have a great day!
Great eye! I've learned to adjust the top link a bit better. I don't always have it perfect, but you are right about keeping it level. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching!
It would be close. Min HP on the PTO is 15 and the 1023e is 14.9. Could it run it? I'm guessing, but you'd have to definitely take your time and take shallow cuts. I have to do that with my Kioti and it's 18.5 HP at the PTO. Hope this helps.
I've done some over 48 inches, but it's not ideal. Can be done, but have to attack from different sides. I have videos on larger ones as well. ruclips.net/video/42SvpEmxXGY/видео.html
The soil in my area is usually rock free so I can't say for sure. During the filming of this video there were some random rocks (or something hard) around one of the stumps. While cleaning up the grinder and inspecting I found a few chipped teeth. So I'm guessing as with any stump grinder, rocky soil is not the best to use a stump grinder in. Perhaps a back hoe or excavator or even a stump bucket would be the best way to go. Thanks for stopping in and for the question. Good luck!
@fredwalters3210 got one years ago. It's a work in progress. I'm sure you know that with all the videos you've posted through the years.... thanks for stopping in.
Yes, you have enough PTO HP to run one. Do you have hydo transmission? I don't think a geared transmission would work out so well with this type of grinder as the grinding rate is controlled by moving forward and back. Thanks for the Sub and thanks for watching and the comment!
By the time you get it shipped it's around $2500. Yes, I do make a little money with it on the side. If you were just doing stumps all day I'd go with a commercial grinder. Thanks for watching!
Good job explaining everything.
Thanks! Hopefully it was useful

Noticed how there aren’t any recent videos of the stump grinding…. I wonder why lol
I will be doing some soon with the new tractor. Winter was one reason, did one this spring and have a very large one to do at my place here soon when I get all the logs off of the stump and out of the way! Stay tuned!
Here's the video of this spring grinding some stumps. ruclips.net/video/CuVstTXMmvE/видео.html
Thanks for the great information Tim! Loved the explanation and insight. I've been considering getting one of these. Great idea on the camera. Would be helpful application for any rear work rather than craning the neck.
Thanks Mike!
You have a pretty good video on how to grind stumps. I used it on my old B7510 Kubota but on that the 3pt was not position control but a quarter inching valve. That made it harder to set the height of the cutter for the next pass to be the same as the last pass. I updated to an LX2610 because I needed SSQA for the grapple as well as a loader that would lift more. Yes the little tractors are easier on the grass but the grinder tosses them around more because they are lighter machines. It's the old adage of you can't have everything!!! For viewing the stumps when grinding I have a wireless backup camera with the monitor on a cellphone holder and the camera on a tripod with a little 12v battery like what it's in a computer UPS. Works well battery lasts for hours.
David, I appreciate the kind words. Yes, it will move the tractor around a bit so I have to take smaller bites, plus the HP is right at the lower limit. The LX seems like a nice size tractor. Little more lifting capacity and larger frame. I have a RV camera I use for grinding and it works similar to what you have. Thanks for watching!
great video I ordered the camera before the grinder, just to have it. LOL
Thanks! Thanks for watching also. Figured I'd save all the necks I could. At least for those who watch this video.
Nice job on the video, thanks.
Thanks! Hopefully it was helpful. Thanks for watching
Where to start might be the most important info possible .
Agreed, it makes a big difference
Bottomline.... I want one! Thanks for the video and instruction.
Thanks! Glad it helped, you'll love it.
@@timbervisions I got one a couple months ago and it's a BEAST. Got it used for $1,700, but it was in pretty good shape. I've ground small stumps, BIG stumps, and everything in between. Great acquisition and I've learned a lot. I "did" use your recommendation on the RV camera and monitor. My neck and back really appreciate that recommendation.
@craigstephens4318 that's awesome! Enjoy your new tool, and I'm glad my video tip is saving your neck. Grind on, brother!
Great video, very well explained. Considering getting one of these and your video will definitely help me make the decision. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful. Good luck on your decision!
Nice job. Love the tractor
Thanks Michael and thanks for watching!
One thing is to make sure you don’t back into the stump. Make sure it’s raised up high enough when backing up
Great point George! The teeth only cut when going forward, not while backing up.
@@timbervisions it’s really easy to bend stuff backing up. Great video. I love my grinder
@@georgelichak3972 Oh ya, I bet! We don't realize just how much pushing power these tractors have until you accidentally back into something. Something will have to give.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and explain how best to attack a stump with the grinder! What made you choose the WM stump grinder vs Baumalight? Also, would one of these stump grinders be a decent investment for some occassional side income? I wouldn't mind starting to do some work with my Deere 1025R (as my appraisal business has slowed a ton over recent months), and these stump grinders look like they'd be a decent way to add more possibilities to what I could offer. Thanks again! And by the way, you might mention your name in your videos or descriptions.
Glad the video was helpful. I use mine to do some side jobs, but wouldn't start a grinding business with only this grinder. I chose wm over baumalight because I could order the wm and it was shipped to me BL you need to find a dealer. That and price. Hope this helped-- Tim
Good job
Thanks
Just received my grinder question I found a couple of teeth up closer to the bearing a socket would not fit on to torque them I just used the wrench that came with the grinder did you have that problem? Also on my kubota just below the PTO is a place for a trailer hitch or tounge not sure what its called but with my camera their you can see the entire flywheel. You might see if yours has that. seems like a good place. Keep the videos coming. Thank you.
Helba, yes I use the wrench that comes with the grinder to get those teeth loose if I need to change them. I have a spot like that on my tractor as well. I think it's referred to as the drawbar on a tractor. I'll have to see if my camera would work there. Great idea! Thanks for watching
nice work
Thank you!
Thanks for these tips. I did get this grinder and want to do this with a camera. And thank you for the videos! Incidentally, where did you get the magnets?
You're welcome. I got magnets from Amazon. I have link in the description but here you go. amzn.to/3GIHtUd
I put a electric metal box on the drawbar to keep weeds from knocking my camera off. Working good so far. Another question for you have you bought any other teeth for your grinder from anyone other then woodland mills & if so how do you like them. I've noticed a couple other companies selling them cheaper then woodland. Like 5 bucks cheaper. Thanks for your time.
That is a great idea on the metal box. I have replaced some from a different company and they seem to be working just fine. Here is a video on that. ruclips.net/video/42SvpEmxXGY/видео.html Link to the grinder teeth are in the description of this video. Hope this helps!
Well done 👍
Thank you
Great video
Thank you sir. Hopefully it was useful to you.
I'm looking hard at getting one of these grinders, but wow...how awesome is the rear camera set-up? It's cheap and can be set up for any 3 point thing. I ordered immediately from your links. I hope you get some kickback. Awesome channel - very helpful! Thank you so much for your expertise!
Glad to help! Yes I did some grinding the first time and immediately ordered that camera system Haha I had a knot in my neck like crazy.
I do get a small commission on the things purchased from my links. Thank you for your support.
I really enjoyed this video. I'm thinking about getting one for a 38hp John Deere and getting some side jobs with it. What do you think? Will it hold up to 15 or 20 stumps a week? Thank you so much.
In my opinion I think it could work for some side jobs as I have started to do with this one. I would definitely stock up on some replacement teeth for it before you get too far into it. I've done about 24 or so stumps with mine and have some wear on the teeth that do the most work. (I touch on this in the video I posted right after this one) Would it hold up to it, I think so. I would not start a dedicated stump grinding business with it though. A dedicated stump grinder is better suited for constant work like that. It is tougher on larger stumps as well as you can only reach so far with it before the rear tires are against the stump. A larger framed tractor as you have would help with that. If I had rear remotes I would go with one that goes side to side. Baumalight makes one like the one in this video, but also one that grinds from side to side. Hope this helps, good luck to you.
Hey man. When you did your 50 hour service, did you take out the hydro trans screen too or no? Just replaced filter like manual says? I didn’t even think of screen until now and I’m at 82 hours but I believe it only called for filter ? 😬
Yes, i just changed the filter as manual calls for.
Nice stump grinder
Thanks Larry, been a nice addition to the attachment fleet for sure.
solid work
Thank you sir
Great videos, can you tell me what PTO HP you have with your tractor? Thanks
Certainly, the CS2520 (one in this video ) has 18.5 HP at the PTO. I have since upgraded tractors, but that little beast will get it done. If memory serves min HP for the WG24 grinder is 18 at the PTO. Specs are on the website if you're close to that. Thanks for stopping in!
I just saw in your description what model tractor you have. Thanks
Is it possible to sharpen those teeth or do you just have to replace them? Nice video.
I have seen videos of them being sharpened. Have not done it myself as you need a diamond impregnated grinding wheel to sharpen them since they are carbide teeth. Maybe in the future I'll attempt it, but I found a reasonable place to find replacements for the time being and I'm not throwing them away when I replace them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I would love one of those. If only there were enough stumps to justify it.
What I did was price out what it would cost to have the stumps I need to remove and it was worth the investment quite quickly. With the money I saved from hiring out the stumps to be grinded and the few side jobs I did with it for money, I've saved/made over the cost of the grinder in one summer. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice video - preciate all the content you put out for the CS20, even as an owner already. What can you say about the HST whine? It's something that I just can't get over on mine. I have neighbors probably as close as you, and I try to be real respectible and keep things quiet. Motor is fine, but that hst. I was reminded of this when a neighbor had a lawn care company come to aerate his lawn with a 1025R. It just purred along. No comparison. It's honestly the one thing that's making me want to sell mine cs2220). Thanks for any feedback - a vid on your thoughts on the whine may get some attention
Appreciation the comment and understand exactly what you're referring to. Either I'm getting more used to it or mine has gotten quieter since I did my 50hr. Service. May just be that I'm used to it. It still whines for sure though. Good point, I'll have to look into this.
Normal noise as with zero turns also
@@leeellisfabs I agree to a point, but seems excessive with the CS20 series. I do think it got better after my 50 hour service though. Other manufactures seem quieter, or Kioti engine is quieter so the transmission seems louder. All hydros do tend to whine though I agree.
I like your overalls and was wondering where you got them? Do they also make them for men?
Thanks, ya I got them from Amazon. They are Liberty brand and they make them for men, women, and children.
I like it !
Thanks, me too. Thanks for watching
So, how would you price doing a job like that for someone? What made you pick this one over the Baumalight? Good video!
For pricing on the grinding jobs I measure each stump and add those all up. Usually I charge $2.00 per inch of grinding. On this one, since there were many all at the same location, I charged a little less. I also charge for travel if it's not in my own town, currently $1 per mile one way. Hope this helps. I chose the Woodland mills over Baumalight mostly on price and availability.
@@timbervisions Thank you!
Do you have a minimum? Such as, someone has one stump measuring 20" across and they don't live far away. Seems like you'd want a minimum amount for small jobs like that?
Great question! Now if the stump itself measures 20" inches across you need to factor in the roots of that stump. Most stumps will have roots that extend out another few inches past the stump so I would figure 26" of grinding area then I would charge $50-$55 in my quote. If it is a harder wood I would lean more toward the upper end. You have to factor in what other folks that grind in your area charge as well to figure your charge per inch. Hope this helps.
haters be haters they had to learn at one time , they im sure were perfect at it , nice video good job
@timpreisser5462 Thanks! I've noticed through the years that all negative comments come from accounts without one single video of their own. I consider the source and carry on with my day. Thanks for the kind words. Have a great day!
How much did you cut off the pto shaft
Oh, that was a few years ago... around 4 to 5 inches? I'm pretty sure it's in a video somewhere
grinder shaft not level. need to adjust top link to avoid ujoint phasing problems
Great eye! I've learned to adjust the top link a bit better. I don't always have it perfect, but you are right about keeping it level. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching!
I just read my post I sent from a month ago, I just realized I repeated my question, sucks getting old LOL sorry
You'll have that lmao. I'm there with you. Did I give the same answer? Lol
Would a John Deere 1023e run one of these?
It would be close. Min HP on the PTO is 15 and the 1023e is 14.9. Could it run it? I'm guessing, but you'd have to definitely take your time and take shallow cuts. I have to do that with my Kioti and it's 18.5 HP at the PTO. Hope this helps.
What camera system is that?
@@MemphisAirborne there is a link in the description
How big of a stump can it grind
I've done some over 48 inches, but it's not ideal. Can be done, but have to attack from different sides. I have videos on larger ones as well. ruclips.net/video/42SvpEmxXGY/видео.html
How does it do in rocky soil
The soil in my area is usually rock free so I can't say for sure. During the filming of this video there were some random rocks (or something hard) around one of the stumps. While cleaning up the grinder and inspecting I found a few chipped teeth. So I'm guessing as with any stump grinder, rocky soil is not the best to use a stump grinder in. Perhaps a back hoe or excavator or even a stump bucket would be the best way to go. Thanks for stopping in and for the question. Good luck!
Pls get a microphone!
@fredwalters3210 got one years ago. It's a work in progress. I'm sure you know that with all the videos you've posted through the years.... thanks for stopping in.
Are your drive shaft and 4wd shafts ones with grease fittings or sealed? Just curious….the manual shows fittings but mine don’t have them….
I never found any that the manual shows so I'm in the same boat
Super video! Very well done! 1st time seeing your channel now a subscriber. So this will work on a ck2610 with cab too I’m assuming?!
Yes, you have enough PTO HP to run one. Do you have hydo transmission? I don't think a geared transmission would work out so well with this type of grinder as the grinding rate is controlled by moving forward and back. Thanks for the Sub and thanks for watching and the comment!
What’s this attachment cost and can you make money doing stump grinding?
By the time you get it shipped it's around $2500. Yes, I do make a little money with it on the side. If you were just doing stumps all day I'd go with a commercial grinder. Thanks for watching!
