STUMP GRINDER

[woody paul]

Just got a small stump grinder, how do you lot stop the teeth chawing putting a hole in trailer floor. Was thinking some type of foot for the front or just a lump of wood with groove cut in it.

I use bits of gravel board off cuts fixed in an L shape with some braces in the corner. Take maybe 10 minutes to make from the off cuts pile. Lasts me a few months before I have to make a new one. Protects the wooden floor and stops the teeth chewing into the head board.

Similar here, a couple bits of board offcuts from the mill to protect the trailer.

 

Saw someone once that had a piece of rubber stable mat screwed in to cradle the wheel.

I’m with most of you lot, throw whatever bit of scrap wood you have nearby under it. 

Typical of Bob to come up with the perfect yet simple engineering solution.

My stump grinder guard is a bit of 18mm ply cut into 3 with hole in each corner for a rope, so I just lay those down first and park grinder on top.

 

Unless it's on the way home from a fell and grind then I'll just push the grinder on to the edge of the chip pile.

Thanks, or just cut it once and slide it on.
