Husqvarna 272s "chainsaw" Stump Grinder

As seen here husqvarna 272s chainsaw / stump grinder on eBay (end time 27-Feb-11 12:35:21 GMT)

 

 

I'm not trying to be smart/funny but are these legal from an insurance POV?

 

I'm looking for a small grinder I can take anywhere to grind stumps 6" or less. A search on Google brings up a certain amount of respect for these machines but they were originally sold in the early 90's.

i have one i cant see any problems with insurance, they have there place but if you have the money get an alpine magnum.

Thanks Robert S.

 

I don't do "Big Tree" work, I'm not a Tree Surgeon. But I do fell and remove smaller trees and do a lot of site clearing/prepping for landscaping, lawns etc. I have been looking out for a used Alpine Magnum as they are perfect for getting into tight spots. They're a bit expensive and hard to come by but maybe it would be a good idea to keep saving. I might end up being disappointed with something like the 272s.

yeah you would be disappointed

 

if the stumps are under 6" you would be as well digging them out or exposing the roots and cutting them with an oregon powersharp chain.

I just watched the Powersharp Chain video. Looks very interesting.
