stumpgrinding newbie

[Ty Korrigan]

Hello, I need some advice on grinding times as I have 4 potential clients lined up.

I will be renting an 18hp anonymous machine.

Any examples of wood, time and tips would be welcome.

Thanks in advance

How long is a piece of string. if its softwood and you have sharp teeth then its can be quite quick, especially if the trees have been down for a while, willows and poplars can be quite stringy and take a bit longer, hard woods can take sometime if they aint been down for very long but even old oak stumps are rock hard, you would be best getting a machine and just trying it out and getting a feel for it. charge on a day rate and you should be ok. whatever you do MAKE SURE THE TEETH ARE SHARP.

Sharp teeth are a must. Can't stress that enough as i once had the misfortune of grinding cypress stumps with a blunt grinder.

Hi and thanks guys,

You would not believe the cost here in france of hire.

€250per day or £200. I am considering blowing out on Danequip 27hp

so to be more competitive. Not stumpground since college so should be physical trial.

I have one cherry, a birch and lots of fresh pine.

Got any anecdotes or advices...?

Thanks again

Ty
