Hey Man this is the best video I've seen. It's real and everything goes just as it does in real life not like the sales videos. Great idea using the blower! Thank you.
That is good work and thanks for posting...I have been thinking about getting one of these to clear much smaller pine stumps, but thousands of them. Good thing this unit has a slip clutch.
I wonder, if the grinder is stalling your machine then you might have the clutch to tight or your rpms are to low. It requires 540 on the pto and 15hp at the pto to operate decently. I have stalled mine a few times but have found the sweet spot at were it slips just before stall.
These where both soft pine trees so the cut was able to be pretty big. These where also the first stump so the bite where sharp. But I imagine harder woods you could still take decent cuts, just gotta go slow and let it eat.
What is the pto HP on your tractor? You would think that the tilt mechanism would engage before it killed the engine, but I hardly see it tilting at all.
I believe the BX23s has a PTO HP of 19. These where some soft pines in my property so I think the bits where really digging in in large chunks. Should be grinding some harder wood stumps soon.
Yes the teeth are only on the forward facing side of the grinder. It also has a pivot that works in the same direction so you can severely jam it into anything while grinding. It will tilt and relieve pressure from the bits.
So these two stumps took about 1.5hrs. The first one was the first one I did and it was big so it was a little learning curve. The second one only took about 25 minutes of that time.
