Thanks for the great info, Forestkeepers!

Thanks Sean! I think Brian's guy with the big/expensive/powerful truck and stump grinder is way out of my league, but watching Peter's video of him and his 10hp stump grinder makes me think I might be able to handle something like that.... at least give it a try.

Great ideas, Sean. Thanks. Yeah, that was one particular lightbulb thing I picked up in that thread -- of digging/grinding around the edges of the stump so you can get below grade with the chainsaw bar and cut the top off the stump as low or lower than you would have ground it anyway.

Thanks Flushcut. I will check out Ben Meadows. I've got a 5 or 6' heavy pointed bar I use to break up ground for digging post holes.

Yeah, Thanks Sean. That was the first thing I did, was do the search -- and in fact your/that very post was the first one I started looking at :) And I will go back and continue reading that thread and others ------ but I guess (possibly due to laziness) I figured I might save time by...

Yeah, Brian, you describe an ideal and smart sounding business setup on both sides -- you and your stump grinding contractor. My insurance won't let me sub out work, and this particular job might be a good leaning experience to push the envelope a little since I've never ground a stump before so...

Good point, Stig. Peter's video helped put some context on things. Yeah, Kyle, I'm in the U.S. so maybe it will be free, but if not I'll ask the owners to make the call. Yeah, Mellow, that would be ideal, but my insurance doesn't allow me to sub out work --- I can provide a list of phone numbers...

Thanks Peter. A picture is worth 1000 words as they say. For an older guy, that video to me says it all, with all very much respect to those much more experienced in tree work and smarter in business than me. What was the condition/type of that 16" stump? How would it compare do you think to a...

Thanks Peter. Good to know! How long does it take on average to cut a fresh 16" stump that is 2" above ground?

Thanks Shawn, sounds good! Squisher, that is great about not having to pay for any of those things --- and it is revealing about what can happen. Man, that chain link fence getting wound up in the grinder... that must have taken a lot of time to get out. Flushcut, good point! -- I will call the...

Thanks Mick!

What do you have to know to grind stumps for homeowners? It must not be rocket science because a neighbor down the street (an intelligent and mechanically minded guy) rented a stump grinder from home depot and ground some 24" stumps and you wouldn't know there had ever been a tree there. I...
