Here are my thoughts after having used the Woodland Mills WG24 Stump Grinder to remove hundreds of tree stumps around the property. TLDW : Great price, great machine, works really well! Thanks for watching!
Wow. That and a stump bucket or root grapple on the loader to take out the remaining roots would be great for my application. Thanks for sharing. I've decided to go ahead and get one. I saw a video where the operator used a backup camera for RVs and mounted it down where he could watch the grinder as it worked on a 7" screen so he didn't have to spend all his time turned in the seat while grinding. Good luck with your tree farm. Plan the work and work the plan.
Hey Alex. Woodland mills have a great reputation for reliability. Especially the saw mills. You cant go wrong. Your knew sawmill will be great and useful for you, no doubt about it. Great review. Kenny
Excellent review Alex. Just subscribed. That is a pretty awesome tractor. I like the Woodland Mills products. They do come at a good price for what you get. The stump grinder that you have is ideal and definitely something that you need. I agree that it's better than using an excavator in your application, no holes to fill and no stumps to burn. It looked like you have a decent view of the stump grinder from within the cab. A grapple will most certainly be a benefit. With the root rake style you may be able to push out the softer / rotten stumps quite easily and still handle all that brush quite adequately. I would think about burning when you have the right weather opposed to just using a wood chipper if it's not a commercial one considering all the brush you have. Foresure a saw mill is great if you are going to have a lot of logs from the trees you cut.
Thanks! I will rent a commercial chipper to get rid of those big piles. Burning them didn't work so well, seems they are so old the bottom is almost compost and didn't want to burn.
FYI, I was told by Woodland Mills that the teeth were not torqued at the factory and that I would have to do it. I did, and discovered that they indeed were not torqued to 160 ft. pounds from factory.
Where do you have your under camera mounted to? That is a very useful pic from the operator seat. Good video; it's clear you read the owners manual on how to use it.
Thank you. After my purchase I've realized that there are multiple companies that seem to offer a very similar product for less. I would imagine they work pretty much exactly the same. In this case you are more supporting the business of your choice and the after care from the seller. I am happy to support a company that is local-ish to me!
