Man, I 've been wanting to start stumpgrinding for about a year now. Just pulled the trigger and bought a woodland mill 3point hitch implement stumpgrinder mainly for personal use around my property, but within a months time I've done 30 stumps. Now I'm ready to up grade to a big boy stump grinder and this video has answered a lot questions Ive been searching for and give me the confidence to grow my business. Thanks

You made my day thanks

First time stump grinder here. Thanks for the education on technique and for being a straightforward shooter with your honest suggestions. God bless.

I am a regular suburban home owner who never worked in the industry. In the past I have hired a stump grinding machine to do the work. The hire company charges by the half day period but that includes the moment it is loaded onto my trailer and unloaded after I return the grinder to their premises. Their charges are $200 for half a day. Last time I needed stumps ground, I decided to get a quote from a tradesman who does it for a living.. The contractor arrived with an assistant and what would have taken me at least 3 hours work, they had done in an hour and were cheaper than me hiring the stump grinder from the hire shop.

Great video! My late father had his own tree removal buisness and he was the most level headed and genuine man I have ever met. You very much reminded me of him in this video,I kinda teared up at the end when you said "Always learn something new","Compliment people" and "Don't be an asshole". Sorry to sound corny but this video made my day,almost like my father was speaking through you to me. Thanks for the video and you have a new subscriber!

Video #2 that I've watched and again thank you, I thought I was the only one who set the depth way out in front of the stump, watched way to many videos of guys engaging 1/4 or half the cutter wheel then bitching about the machine. I do run a full service tree care company but am the only one to run the stumper. Thank you again, good information.

Thank you for this video, I'm absolutely taking the plunge now. 15 years in PERS, we are spirit animals 🤣, loved it!!!

I been grinding for 7 years now, they way you explain is how i do it to. I used to remove debris in the beginning to, and i have stopped it, sometimes if it's just a small stump and it's elderly folks i remove it. Great video, i intend to start making videos to.

You can do it just have to be self motivated

The public servant attitude shows. Was grinding for 25 plus years on my off day from my 24 hour shifts with the LRFD. Massive heart attack has me out to pasture now. I did get the old Levco fuel filter changed and tank cleaned and the hole brazed in the tank and finally bled and ground five pretty big stumps for my neighbor who has helped me out when needed. Perhaps I can hit it little more but haft to improve a lot more. The one thing know to do after years of daylight to dark grinding. I tried employees also. Best just me as well. A lot of up keep and proper bite take longer but so much easier on the stump grinders as you have mentioned. Levco Doug.
