Dipperfox stump cutters.

Other things that I find attractive in these "corkscrew" units, no noise to speak of, no dust blowing everywhere, no real risk zone other than right close and you've probably got the carrier already! The big ones might need big HP and big prime mover but everything is a compromise going forwards!

Difficulty is Pete, finding a single punter who says ‘yes I’ve got one and it’s great’

I think they’d be great for good access jobs with multiple smaller stumps, like when you’ve taken a conny hedge out.

 

I think you’d need to keep the grinder as well though.

Doable, but not really the point if you get me.

That’s kind of what I mean.

 

I think if you put all your eggs in a Dipperfox basket you’d ending up regretting it.

I've used the same principle on a job last year, smaller stumps but access meant I couldnt get any machine in there and would have been smashing roots out with an axe. Expensive driveway to avoid damaging.

 

I used a large auger turbo wood drill bit in the Makita cordless. Yes they hit stone and blunted, but saved a lot of time. Sharpened easily enough.

 

However if you have a heavy machine, you could mount a 50cc engine auger to it (or hydrualic motor unit) and use a carbide tipped auger drill, same idea as the dipperfox.
