Stump grinding tips/ tricks/ tools.

Camphor Laurel or Liquid Amber, hard to say which is worse.

Dead Grey Box is the hardest you'll ever find, but most of you will never have to do one.

The species are good additions to the thread.

I've found the hardest to be robinia pseudo acacia what you guys call black locust. Stumps that have been in the ground awhile are like iron.

Some times when grinding stringy or really wet stumps I lift the guard on my grinder to fling grindings froward.

A grinding screen is mandatory and very effective.

Willow.

Willow and poplar... probably the gift that keeps on giving

Not for me I like to execute with extreme prejudice. RoundUp! Or fire where I can get away with it.

How about a doug-fir that someone tried to burn out?

Green versus old, solid stumps?

Mick! · Jun 1, 2015

Green oak is better than old oak, 2 year old cupressus is a lot easier than freshly cut.

Maple is really the only one that gives us grief. As to that picture with the guarding, I see you regrinding chips which robs power from the task at hand. I'd rather rake grindings back than have that small a work space.

Regrinding sucks, even with a high hp machine.

Wear a mask for that burned out one or wait until it rains to keep the dust down. Old stumps are easy as it gets to grind usually punky, green oak with new teeth just makes me smile.

It does! Raising the guard really helps. It makes a massive mess so containment is key IMO.

I have yet to tackle a standard SF street tree stump....

Raj · Jan 22, 2016

Yeaowsa!

Bodean · Jan 23, 2016

Thinking Alpine magnum...

Sgriff · Jan 23, 2016

I hate using the magnum with the foot on the pavement,would probably be better off using the tire attachment and chock em

Raj · Jan 23, 2016

I wonder if my grinder would work if I welded up a set of handles for the cutter end and a chip shield?

Just caught up with this Willard, that guy is amazing. What a master craftsman and artist.

Bodean · Jan 23, 2016

Raj, we used to two man the dosko. One guy in back supporting the crazy guy on the wheel with both hands hammering the stump. Jesus. We were stupid.

Bodean · Jan 23, 2016

Griff....do they make a rubber foot....like a skateboard wheel might be cool.

So you like the alpine magnum?

Chris E · Jan 23, 2016

To what extent do those street ones need to be ground out? just superficially you'd hope
