Stump removal???

[The Tree Hunter]

What things have to be considered when looking at stump removal, can you do it on all trees or are there certain ones that have to be left??

 

cheers

can be a good idea to poison pops first then go back for grinding-unless you like suckers!

as long as its sharp, keep the stones and metal out the way.

some wood is just harder than others.

Gas, electric, water pipes etc. Access.

 

I don`t know about can`t remove but i generally don`t remove species that don`t regrow unless its really necessary.

Look out for that wire the customer has just run along the ground to his shed. Get gaurds to go around the head of the grinder, it saves a lot of cleaning up and it cuts down the chance of breaking windows.

 

What kind of grinder you using? Is it a pedestian one or a proper radio controlled one?

 

As Alinicoll said, look out for utilities and if you are not sure always ask the customer first if they know of any wires or pipes that you might hit. Generally though there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

 

Get a grinder that can do the job, don't get one that is too small for the job, you will just knacker yourself out. Cut the stump as low as possible to the ground and put groves into it with your saw. It all helps.

 

You must be crazy wanting to do stump grinding!!!!!

With experience you will get to know the charcteristics of each species of tree, which are soft, stingy and down right sods to do. Enjoy!

my mates got the wee carlton one, it is as sharp as a razor and he is good on it, tackle anything big or small. and you can get it in anywhere, you can feel everything thru the handlebars. i have seen guys with monster remote control ones that are useless. its all in the operator.
