Thank you

Good to see you back, Ben! Totally awesome machine.

I had the 30 for almost 4 years. Just upgraded to the 382. World of difference. Little longer same width but the HP increase makes my 2 hour stumps now 30 min. 30 does get into more spots and isnt as expensive. Happy grinding!!!

Hey Ben, You came acrossed my mind. I miss your sawmill videos. They were cool. I hope all is well.

I just rented one of these at Yukon Equipment up here in Alaska and it works great! $400.00 for the entire weekend and I knocked out a bunch of stumps.

Thanks for the video. Greetings from U.K.! Very useful

What oil and filter are you supposed to use for this machine

Stump grinder work is tiring with the wrong machine. Hope you are still running the sawmill. Plenty of food for the mill by running a tree seevice.

About 4 dollars per inch on average. Measured across the diameter.

How many minutes to get this done?

how long did this entire process take?

I would recommend a vermeer 252 to start. Going to be the cheap mid sized grinder to start with.

How much did you charge the customer for that job?

Every job is different, it all depends on a lot of variables. A stump like this I had easy access to it I charge around 200. Give or take.

Have a Rayco 1672 dxh, for 30 yrs now. Fast, powerful machine. Had to rent this same Vermeer today. If I owned a Vermeer, first thing I would do, is cut off the front handlebar over the wheel.

Have you started a tree service business.

@@brettblack7049 the machine runs great, on the large stumps it is a little under powered. But the really large grinders throw rocks and make a huge mess. I would recommend this to anyone looking to remove a stump with buildings or road ways near by. Still need to be aware of rocks but its not as bad. Hope this helps.

Been…. Where ya Ben? 😂
