What is a good horsepower on stump grinder?
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
"In Huntsville today, I completed a tree stump job and discussed what is a good horsepower on stump grinder you should purchase."
When selecting a stump grinder, horsepower is an important factor to consider, but it's not the only one. The horsepower you need depends on the size and hardness of the stumps you typically work with. Here are some general guidelines:
Small Residential Jobs: For small residential jobs with softer wood, a stump grinder with around 13-25 horsepower should suffice. These are usually compact and easy to maneuver.
Medium-Sized Jobs: For medium-sized jobs with larger stumps or harder wood, a stump grinder with 25-40 horsepower would be more appropriate. This range provides sufficient power to tackle tougher tasks without being overly cumbersome.Thanks for watching!

Large Commercial Jobs: For large commercial jobs or heavy-duty use, you might need a stump grinder with 40+ horsepower. These machines are capable of handling the most demanding tasks and can efficiently grind through large, hard stumps.
Remote or Difficult Access Jobs: In situations where access is limited or the terrain is challenging, you may opt for a smaller, more maneuverable stump grinder with sufficient horsepower to get the job done effectively.
Additionally, consider other factors such as the grinder's cutting depth, cutting capacity, maneuverability, maintenance requirements, and overall build quality. It's often beneficial to invest in a reliable machine from a reputable manufacturer, as this can save you time and money in the long run by minimizing downtime and repair costs. Finally, don't forget to prioritize safety features and proper training for operating the stump grinder safely and efficiently.

Thanks, man!! Thanks for watching!
I do lawn mowing and landscaping and I actually have a SC 130 Vermeer 13 hp. Bought it 6 years ago for $1500. It's pretty good on smaller stumps. It can do larger stumps, but it takes a LONG time and some digging, and cutting with a chainsaw lol. I would like to upgrade in a couple years.

@keithdougherty1584, it just takes time starting out. I thought I would never get anywhere at first but over time the business grows. Thanks for watching! Keep grinding!!
Great job Chris! I never personally ran a 252 but so many people still swear by them and they are relatively inexpensive. Personally I think starting at a 38hp machine is the way to go if you can afford it up front.

Mike, your right about the horsepower but I think most people starting out don't have a whole lot of money to throw into stump grinding at first that's why I say the small machines are great.

You’re right about that. Definitely crawl before you can walk.
Good advice Chris. My mentor recommended the 252 also. Only thing I would point out with these smaller machines is, pass up those monster stumps jobs. You'll beat the crap out of your machine and it's almost impossible to do a good job. There'll be so many chips that you better be good with a rake! I've seen guys grind for 5 plus hrs on a stump. It's hot, their tired, hungry and start taking short cuts just to get done. Like just grinding flush with the ground! I've seen it and I've had homeowners call me to fix it because their tired of hitting it with the mower. So basically what I'm saying is, know the machines limitations. There's a reason they build 60, 70 80+ hp machines. Oh yeah, my first machine was and is, a rayco 1672dxh. I can tackle the monsters with ease. Ive ground many huge hard maples and white pines. Have yet to go past an hour grinding. 27" cutting wheel, 94" swing and 26" deep. Truly a beast. Not for everybody, but I love the look on my customers face at what it can do. I leave them impressed and they spread the word for me.

You're right about all that. It sounds like you have ground a couple of stumps before. Thanks for watching!!!
Hey Chris, getting ready to buy a Vermeer sc30tx. Any thoughts on the machine? Have you used one in the past? Thanks for all of the great videos!

Hey Chris! Good work. You’re a GOAT of stump grinding! Question- Do you find the Rayco RG50 to be dependable with few breakdowns other than regular maintenance? Thanks again!

Yes, the motor has low compression and is hard to start. I got it parked for now.
What’s your thoughts on a bandit G40
@mikesorg6746

Can’t give you his thoughts but personally having owned the predecessor to the sg40 (same motor just a few different things with belt tensioner and track adjuster) I can say it is a great nimble machine that gets into tight spaces. Visibility is okay (wish the controls swing 90 degrees instead of 45). Be careful on slopes because at 29 inches it can be tippy. A blade is nice to have but they dont currently make one for that machine yet (though other people have made them). It has decent power but the Kohler can be finicky (that particular model of Kohler, not Kohler motors in general. Change oil and blow out air filter regularly. Honestly I liked mine before upgrading bigger.
