the skid steer is about the most versatile machine ever invented. I have had a number of brands through the years working in school districts, all worked great. The attachments available are endless and we made some speciality ones as well. Yours looked like it done an excellent job to me, will make a fine garden spot for the home owner
The machine at 11:30 reminded me of Speed Racer for some reason. I'd paint it red with a number on each side so it looked like a race car. I rented a stump grinder for 4 hours and got 2 stumps done. I took it back and they asked "How did it go?" I said "beautiful, I cut down two 30 yr old pine tree's that I hated". He said "You used this on pine tree's?" I said yes. He said "Didn't it bounce all over the place?". I said "No I made small passes to the left and right and watched a youtube video on how to do it. So, I did both stumps for $200 rental for 4 hours. I got estimates for almost $1k to do both stumps.
I have one of these Stumpers. You're supposed to start on the left and move right. It grinds on the upstroke instead of the down stroke. Way less vibration.
By the way fantastic video today excellent commentary,, just a suggestion on stump grinding you might be I had to have someone with a backpack blower moving the chips out of your sight to help you do a more efficient job of grinding the stump,,, I do it myself and it helps immensely gives you a better view
Re the pile up of chips Being a bit allergic to hard work and rakes, when the chip piles up I back my machine up a bit then sweep the cutting wheel side to side through the pile up to spread it to each side then back forward to the stump and continue.
Those machines are awesome, just because of the functionality. Want to scoop something.. got you covered. Want to grind something... Got you covered. Want to make some toast.... Prolly got you covered haha
Small world. I was at that property right off 174 in July of 2019. I did a chicken coop demo and hauled off a bunch of trash, construction waste and scrap metal that they wanted gone before the loggers came. Guess you were the logger.
As always an amazing job. Just curious though. Would it have been any better to use the forestry mulcher on the stumps ? Or is that just to big of stumps ? Just curious.
V-BELT and SON I put that 280 on 161 and now on 2 , kx057 really shines on excavator good visibility and very mobile, use a Fecon (rebranded Miller ) on a svl90
Tristan Radeboldt not very quick or efficient without knives on the mulcher head. Green pine stumps are tough to grind. Stump grinder is faster than the mulcher head especially on the 3+ foot stumps
@@VBELTandSON i dont know if they are any good. The concept is solid. Maybe with your youtube a company might send you one to review. Then we would all know
So stupid. Why would you use something so small and slow when ya have a mulcher head. So pointless to waist time with something stupid and small when ya can blast it out much faster with the mulcher head. Lame
Let me educate you smart guy. A mulcher head only grinds flat with the ground. This is faster and actually grinds under the dirt level and deletes the whole stump. Try again guy
@@VBELTandSON well I've seen what mulchers can do if ya got the right setup you can tare threw stumps real easy there's no resion to go more then 1"-2" below the ground. Pointless. Throw some dirt and seed down and your ready for new grass.
OK if they were going to do all that then why waist time grinding them. Should of just been smarter to remove the stump and be done with it at that point.
@@jeromyw385xp do you have any idea what it takes to remove a 3ft+ pine stump? X15? They are a huge pain to pull and then costly to dump. The stump grinder is the cheapest and quickest way to delete a stump. Left with simple wood chips you are making me laugh at this point
