Nice!

Love your information and insight on this subject of Stump Removal.Thanks look forward to the next job,and YES I found it quite satisfying to watch.Daniel

Excellent job you guys💪🏾 I’m from Louisiana and I’m rocking my Vermeer SC362. Thank god they didn’t want you guys to clean that mulch 😅

Thank you, Darwin! What part of Louisiana are you from?! And I was so happy they said they would clean it up lol. We would have probably used the tractor for that one. The only good thing if we had to clean it up is it’s right by one of our dump spots lol

I’d love to see him manipulate the controls while grinding the stump

Hey Daniel, thank you so much for the comments and nice words! Are you a fellow grinder? If so, what machine are you running?!

Nice work. I think I'd be cutting that wheel guard back a little. My rayco does not extend in front of the wheel, so I don't experience that problem. Mine never regurgitates the chips, so I really don't worry about stuff flying out the front for most part. I generally go fairly deep myself. I use my belt guard as a guide. It's 10" deep when it's starts to touch the ground. My grinding area stays pretty clear, even on monster stumps. With a tow behind, there's someplace for the chips to go. Not so with self-propelled units. If I ever get a self-propelled unit some day, that's gonna be what I hate the most is those damn grindings being regurgitated out the front and covering the stump. Happy grinding.

We started with a tow behind when we first got started years ago! That and a handlebar machine. Definitely don’t miss the handlebar machine lol. But I love and hate the guard on the SC70. I definitely hate the fact that it piles all the mulch on top of the stump, but it does a great job of not letting the chips fly out to hit anything. We normally go down until about half of the wheel is below grade, since our wheel is around 20”.

Nice work. Just did a similar size maple. Lots of mulch. Central Illinois. Rayco Rg 55

Nice! The amount of mulch is crazy lol. How long did it take you with the RG55? That’s actually the machine we were about to buy when we ended up winning the auction for the SC70. We were actually in the middle of signing paperwork to buy it (for a little more than what we paid for the SC70) when I placed the winning bid. Was so awkward and I felt so bad in the moment, but at the same time was super excited lol.

Nice video. Quick question: when you say don’t back cut are you referring to letting the grinding wheel come back to you before dropping it again? Vs dropping it with each swing? Thanks.

@stumpproswv

4 ай бұрын

Thank you! By back cutting I mean grinding with the bottom of the wheel. You want to grind at an angle so the wheel doesn’t get bogged down by trying to take too much. It happens mostly when you’re starting to grind the stump and hit the roots. It’s best to start a little deeper than you need to take the rest of the stump so you won’t be hitting what you’ve already ground down while getting the rest of the stump. I hope that makes sense 😅

A weed trimmer with a paddle attachment works well for moving the chips

I have wondered if it would work to move the big piles, but we usually use our leaf blower to move the mulch. It’s so much easier than using the rake 😭🤣

That’s how I was for so long lol. We were rocking with a SC252 for like 6-7 years when my dad and I were just doing it on the side. I decided to try to do it full time last year and definitely would not have been able to keep up with the 252, even with the engine upgrade lol.

@@stumpproswvJust my personal choice, I like verbal narration, not mostly written notes although sometimes I turn on closed captions if I can't make out what the person is saying. Don't like music on how to videos. I like to hear a real voice, not some computer generated voice either. That way, I can have the video on and listen to your explanation while trying to read something else in the tedious, repetitive parts. I think you did a good mix of real time video and sped up video. I paid someone last July to take down 17 water oaks on 4 acres here near Ocala, FL Now, I am thinking about what to do with the stumps. Most are cut off within a foot of grade but a few are higher, two or three foot above grade. 18 to 36 inch diameter at dirt level. Good job on the stump grind and the video too.

@@kmmanthony hey, thanks for the comment! I have been working on a video with narration instead of just the text on the bottom, so that should be out soon! As for your stumps, for that amount and size, you could definitely rent a grinder and save some money, but you’ll be there for at least a full day with the grinders that are usually available for rent. If you have any bigger machines that are available for rent near you, it may be worth the extra money to rent one of those. You would get finished so much faster!
