I paid roughly £1650 (inc Vat and delivery) for the x2500 drive unit and also a 6inch and 12inch auger with tungsten carbide tips. Really brilliant well made kit from Augertorque- would work well on a 2.5tonner etc

have the same including the grinder. It literally chews the stump to bits nice and slowly so safe and easily controllable.

I can see a loader wouldnt be much cop on a digger (3 tonner) its fine.

When I bore holes on hard ground I add tractor weights to auger frame to get more down force so would do the same.

I can't see the blades staying sharp for too long once they hit the dirt, and they would need to be very sharp to cut cross-grain as they do? Also relies on being able to get a mini digger in which is not always possible and tracked machines aren't exactly lawn friendly!

Stump grinders go blunt when you hit dirt, and aren't a lot of grinders on tracks.

My auger will bore through Tarmac I just found the lack of control and vision plus the amount of weight required meant that a dedicated grinder was far better. avant and some others used to do a stump grinder with its own engine for the front a better idea for a low powered loader

When you say vision was that on an Avant

Is this as good as a dedicated grinder?
