TORO Stump Grinder ... 1st Time

[mdvaden]

Are these TORO stump grinders available in your area? If you have one, how is it doing for you after some time in use?

 

I used one for the first time recently, rented from Home Depot rental dept. It was one of the better machines I've used in recent years. Have no idea about long-term durability or maintenance. But since I rent, I'd used one any day. I was a bit surprised how much power it had for it's small size.

 

First time I've used tracks.

I used one many times in oz when my own machine was waiting on a new part. It is a funny machine that you really need to think about it is only25 hp and lacks any real power so for big stumps it is crap,so you can use it for smaller stuff,but the problem is it's to big to compare it to the smaller machine.In the USA it will probably be ok but in the uk you will struggle to get it through a gate,and if you have a big gate then you would be better off with a bigger machine. The cutting head is set at a funny angle and it sweeps across the stump in a real funny way.

 

But it has a major benefit---- it is bloody cheap they were selling them in oz for $ 18,000 with a free trailer I know at least 3 lads that ordered them on the spot when told of the price.

is it not a dingo mini skid loader? much better suited to lifting and shoving duties... but (if the price is right) i suppose it'd be rude not to have the grinder attachment

This one is not the attachment they have made it as a dedicated grinder, does not have the lifting arm or any quick hitch just the grinder head fixed straight on.

It's toro, it'll be crap!

Golf clubs will like it just because it'll match the rest of the fleet.
