Post your stump grinding photos

Love the carlton 7015 we did 275 conifer stumps from 16-30 in 2 days

Nice job...is it a comfortable machine to operate?

 

It's ok now I have got used to it. You really have to stand to the right of the machine to see the cutting head but once you have worked out the best position it's fine. A few lads say it is too slow, I agree to a certain extent, I found that the throttle cable had stretched and wasn't operating at full revs, after that had been sorted out it goes like a train. A slow train but it suits me. The only problem for me is that I have put on half a stone in weight since I bought it, only using the joystick instead of wrestling the Predator 450!

Ground out this one couple days ago. Possible biggest one we have done to date.

Blimey o'reilly! thuja I'm guessing, what did you grind it with?

Lawson cypress with the hb20, did take all day mind. Added hazard of a wasps nest in it and bottom half on a slope that I don't think you can see in the pic. Could have done with a bigger grinder tbh but access was poor. My bro who is in the pic is a stump eating man mountain so I kindly let him do the lions share

 

So much timber came out of this tree, multi stems on multi stems

was it wind damaged or snow at one point with the wide spread and the horizontal stem

Not sure of the history as the owners are relatively new. Something like that sounds about right though. It looked like a giant hand coming out the ground

Another one done gently.

 

Interesting fact, the space where the stump was situated was occupied by many "clients" of the cemetery who had not had there plots paid in full. So they were dug up and put in between the stones with the plots onsold. Hundreds are buried like this, and not very deeply!

 

Oh and next to where we were working was the grave of a guy who died serving with the NZ army in ww1 in france who was only 16 when he was killed in action.

Excellent and interesting picture. Stumpgrinding in a cemetery is about as sensitive as it gets.
