3 birch stumps and ploughed the area for surface roots. 30min machine time.

Took longer to load/unload and travel to job. 

Wife came along because I had to drag the machine up a grassy slope which at the time I felled the trees was freshly sown and a no go.

I do regret at times not buying the self propelled version.

The engine cut out 3 times, a bit of a mystery but with 172 hours in the clock I guess the fuel system might need cleaning.

Running a mix of Stay Sharp and QRMS depending on the job and soil.

Nice little Bay down and ground out with the 360sw - about 36” across. Took the concrete edging out and reset it after - about 3 hrs in total. Need more easy jobs like this 👍

Tried out them Multi Tip MT2, with the Eco Tip, the ones you can turn around.

For me it worked out well, seems more economical and they cut really good.

Hello Everyone,

It's been a long time since I started this thread on the 26th of April, 2015. I'm incredibly grateful to see it still active and engaging after all these years. The journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your contributions, advice, and companionship along the way.

 

The progress we've made at Stump Grinding Direct since I first wrote on this forum is immense. We've grown, learned, and adapted so much, and a significant part of that growth is thanks to the knowledge shared here by this vibrant community.

Stump grinding has always been my passion, and in the past years, I've had the opportunity to delve deeper into this craft, honing my skills and expanding my knowledge. I've been able to take on more diverse and challenging projects, and every new stump is a learning experience in its own right.

 

I wanted to share a few photos of some of the work we've done recently (see attached). I hope these images can inspire newcomers to the field and perhaps spark some nostalgia in the veterans among us.

 

Here's to many more years of sharing, learning, and grinding together! Your support and encouragement have been invaluable, and I'm excited to see what the future brings for all of us in the stump grinding community.

 

Best Regards,

Stefan Owner, Stump Grinding Direct

Stefan, your Predator seems to be a super reliable fellow and it's nice to see it's still with you. If I remember right, you already replaced the engine once. Next step would be a paint touch up I guess :P.

There where a few 252s with 4k and more hours, some Carltons with 5k+, which is more than enough for a stumpy.

I'm pretty sure your 38 has joined the high-miler-club as well, has it crossed the 4k mark already?

Skinny urban birch removal.

 I used the dull side of the teeth to clear the area around the stump of surface roots before turning the lead teeth and demolishing the stump in 6min.

Clay soil, almost moistureless and it is only May...

Because my predator shook itself to bits, got beat on a job the other week and split a track. I used my old 252 today to bail me out. Such a pleasure to use compared to the predator! This machine has earned me a fortune over the years. Glad I didn't part with it.
