Rentals are a crapshoot, for sure. I don’t know if I’ll ever buy one. Not against it but I’m not putting out 8K for a used one at this point in time. There’s not a lot of money in grinding in our area as far as I know. We’ll see how it goes with this one.
Well, the first time using a considerably powerful machine to tear up a dense wooden mass should prove fun. There may be something cathartic about watching a stump disappear little by little (like watching fire maybe?) and listening to the engine while trying to keep rpm’s up. The 30th time may...
Yeah, most guys gather 3-4 stumps and then rent the machine and bang em out. I’d be curious of the cost as well including removing debris.
Edit to add: there’s quite a bit of surface roots.
@lumberjack The reason for starting so large is that it’s for my parents and we removed the tree.
So you’re saying mound all the dirt/wood chips about a foot above grade? Suppose it settles.
When does grass seed get applied?
I’m assuming the Toro would take all day to grind a 75” (including flare) silver maple stump? Probably getting the Vermeer.
Would 4” below grade be sufficient for a lawn over top?
Never ground a stump before. Any tricks?
