I know this is 8 months, but just incase you see this. I would take off the quick hitch. It extends the grinder out too far. Also tighten your lower arm turn buckles as tight as you can get them. Otherwise you may damage your 3pt hitch. Great video btw.

@MyClutteredGarage 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the tip!

@dantabler9301 10 месяцев назад

Congratulations I’ve had one for several years and it is by far my most profitable attachment. Couple of pointers 1: check the teeth for tightness before and after each grind 2: prevent lateral movement of the grinder on the 3 point hitch 3: order 2 boxes of replacement teeth today. They can’t be sharpened. The folks @ woodland mills are the best of the best. There’s a learning curve, soon you won’t need to keep watching the grinder by looking backwards I use my rear view mirrors on my jd 2025

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Thank you!

@AD-hr4is 10 месяцев назад

Get yourself a rear view camera and put the camera on a magnet so you can placed it where needed.

@jaysizzlegman7621 10 месяцев назад

Does Woodland Mills make a knife sharpener? You should order one of those!😂

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Haha. It was a mistake to grab that one off the shelf!

@stevestock2439 10 месяцев назад

Great vid. I've had mine for a year now and really like it. Your right there is a learning curve. Thinking you may want to tighten your clutch a 1/2 turn on each fastener, it is too loose. There is a shear pin that is another level of safety too. I ended up getting an RV camera and mounted the camera under the grinder frame and that helps with visability. I like also engage the PTO at just above idle when the shaft is relatively level. then speed the throttle. Also found that rocks are not your friend and they will chip the carbide teeth. I pretty much grind no more than a couple inches below the grade no deeper. Also a hand held blower works great for blowing chips off the stump for visability and usually rake around the stump with a hard rake before i start just to get the obvious rocks away. Keep a 6 pack of extra teeth on hand. I rotate the upper teeth down to the lower position every now and again because the are used for cutting less. Enjoy! Steve

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Great points! Thank you.

@cajunaggie9815 10 месяцев назад

Congratulations! Definitely a learning curve, but if you tighten the side sway links, avoid large bites, work from far right to left, and learn to hear the sound it makes when you are in the sweet spot, you'll cut the time to do a stump that size down to a half hour or less including a stop to drag (or blow) the dirt off the remaining portion once you hit dirt. Visibility is an issue, and I look under my left shoulder (at the best cutting area 6-9 o'clock) to determine where I am relative to the stump, rather than over my right shoulder. Steering left and right as I move back and forth to move across the stump. I've taken out well over a hundred stumps large and small with it (finally quit counting...). Some definitely grind better than others. And I did get a backup camera too for when I am specifically grinding stumps as my project. For just clearing out troublesome small stumps when using my grapple to remove brush, The camera isnt' always mounted. But, practice, practice, practice.......... and try to avoid stones lol.

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

I'm sure it will get easier. Thanks much!

@timbervisions 10 месяцев назад

I have found that slip clutch to be bounds ahead of a sheer pin. I know it's a pain to deal with, but not having to replace sheer pins all the time, great time saver. I love my WG24 and have used it quite a bit. Even make a little side money with it. Enjoy!

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! I surely would not want to be changing sheer bolts!

@christophercharles3169 3 месяца назад

Nice video. I'm looking at this SG myself. First video I see that follows the complete setup instruction. I saw one tractor operator who installed a camera somewhere within the 3ph so he could get a better view of the blade's location. He mounted the display to his hood using magnet. It worked pretty well. Based on the other videos I saw you were hitting the center of the blade too often which was causing it to jump. Like you said though, it's a learning experience. Thanks for sharing.

@MyClutteredGarage 3 месяца назад

Thank you. Yes I’ve gotten much better at using the stump grinder. You might enjoy this video. Woodland Mills WG24 Stump Grinder in Action! MCG Video #214 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kx8FMrvNQ78.html

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Bob. I'm looking forward to using it a lot!

@badgerlandturf 10 месяцев назад

It was a good unboxing and first use video. In my opinion and situation on 10 acres it was much more economical to rent a professional stump grinder ($275 per day) and do the 25 stumps I had to do. I see the tractor as being limited in sight as you explained and tedious to move the back and forth versus a self propelled rental unit. Now my chipper, best investment besides the tractor I made! I like to see non sponsored videos and you are paid to say something nice about equipment!

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Thanks very much. I plan to grind stumps intermittently as I cut down trees, so a rental wouldn't really work for my plans. I'm sure it was nice to sue though! I love my chipper too!

@je1279 10 месяцев назад

@garrytraynor1178 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. Setting up the slip clutch was very helpful for me. I don't have a grinder yet but in the near future definitely. Great job on your first stump.

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Thank you. Good luck!

@jaasx 10 месяцев назад

I've got the same one and been happy with it. yeah, my first stump took me 25 minutes. Now I'm down to a 5 for a similar stump. Watch out for letting the blade tilt back too far if you feed too fast. That reduces the engaged coupling length and I once got it so short it destroyed the female end. Take your time, be patient and it will get the job done. Do need to replace the teeth occasionally - got mine from Gabdon Industries and they seem fine. Also you seemed to engage the slip clutch alot so maybe check it's not too loose.

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Thank you. I'm hoping to slip clutch works better after some use, like new brake pads. I'll definitly check the adjustment though. Seems like it slipped too much.

@tedfelsberg5322 10 месяцев назад

We love our WG24, also. The dealer explained that our 21 hp kubota didn’t have the necessary ooomph, to spin that big cutter, so oh well…. We just had to go supersize it, and buy a bigger tractor. 😁 Just go slow with yours, and your wheel won’t completely stop spinning, so often. As that other tractor-guy up North - says, “Cheers” Ted in NJ.

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Thanks, Ted in NJ!

@MannistoCay 10 месяцев назад

Morning Ed, were your ears ringing yesterday? I was talking to Meghan from Woodland Mills yesterday about you and the live Monday nights. Nice work on the grinder, I use mine lots. You'll get used to the visibility and feel of it, the uses for it are quite diverse. Ive used mine for chewing on scrub on our property as well. Take care have a great weekend! 🌴🚜

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Haha! Thanks!

@wvpolekat 10 месяцев назад

If you tighten the knob under the front of your seat you can slow down how fast it drops. That makes it easier to slowly lower heavy implements.

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Good point. Thanks!

@watershedoverlook 10 месяцев назад

Nicely done Ed. For some reason, I seem to be experiencing deja vu! Seriously, congrats on the new purchase. As I suspected, I watched this video and thought "see, that's how it SHOULD be done"! 😉 Thanks for sharing your maiden voyage...very helpful and encouraging to see there is a learning curve. By the end, it looked like you had worked out a pretty good system. Look forward to seeing you hone your skills in the future (so I can learn how it's done! 👍). Still waiting for a daylight/weather window to try out mine. Kudos.

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

I’m sure we will learn from one another! Thanks, Chris.

@GardenTractorBoy 10 месяцев назад

This looks like a very cool attachment. You provided some great information for anyone buying one of these. It was good to see it in action. Do you think installing a backing up camera would help with the visibility?

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Joseph. I’ve seen a few people add cameras. It’s something to think about but I’m going to practice first to see if I can do it without.

In the video your grinder was tilted backwards a good bit. Much better results when the wheel is plumb. Not bad for your 1st grind. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

One of my favorite attachments 👍

@ellobo1326 6 месяцев назад

I was setting my WG24 up today. The clutch slipped as it should. I then tightened to the called for specs on the clutch springs (1.26”). When I later was torquing the cutter teeth, the clutch slipped with the pressure from my torque wrench on the tooth bolt. I would think it should take more force than that to make it slip.

@MyClutteredGarage 6 месяцев назад

I’d let it break in then check again. I think they wear in like a new set of brake pads.

@rancin99 5 месяцев назад

Hi Ed. Great video and nice information on adjusting the slip clutch. I am waiting for another Locking Pin Kit for the PTO from Woodland Mills to connect the PTO to the WG24. After only using the machine for less than two hours, the PTO shaft came off from the grinder and the locking pin was gone. Woodland Mills said the nut must have vibrated loose but I had it on tight. I asked what the torque should be and they did not have one specified. I'm wondering if the locking pin could break from too much torque, so the next pin will have a second nut attached and blue loctite. I have not seen where anyone else had this issue of the pin missing. I'm looking forward to getting the WG24 up and running again. Thanks for the video.

@MyClutteredGarage 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! It’s a great attachment. WM has terrific customer service too!

@foxacoustics 5 месяцев назад

It would be nice if they made an adjustable skid that the wheel protruded from that only allowed it to take a 1/2" or 3/4" depth of cut per pass. Kind of like a wood jointer or planer.

from what i've seen from woodland mills product videos, you gotta lower it tiny bit at a time.

@MyClutteredGarage 3 месяца назад

That’s what I’ve found too. 👍

@skiffintherift9179 Месяц назад

to much rock in my area in NE for one of these to function well. it would be beat to death in a few stumps or less so many rocks grown into the stumps or heaved up around them.

@ernestkooistra1559 10 месяцев назад

I could have done that with my lawn mower. Over several years, and maybe mowers. ✌

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

I've seen some folks do that. Something to consider, but I want to get used to using tit without, first. Thanks!

@RossOnTheLand 10 месяцев назад

Hello Ed! That looks like a great product, can you push backwards over stumps or do you find pulling fwd over them easier?

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Ross. There are no teeth on the back side of the flywheel. So it’s forward only. 👍

@margaretmatthews511 10 месяцев назад

Hi Eddie, You referenced 2 movies in the first 30 seconds 😂!!! You are a great teacher! Gosh, it"s A LOT of work to set-up your stump grinder 😮. I am excited you now own a stump grinder...thats a handy piece of equipment! How large of a stump can you grind? Safety question: should you wear goggles? I do enjoy your videos!!! One more question: are you getting a larger tractor??? Comment: you didnt say the price 😮

@MyClutteredGarage 10 месяцев назад

Haha, good catch, mate! I think I’d be comfortable up to 16” diameter stumps.

@RoryCalhoon Месяц назад

So painful to watch. There's nothing wrong with that grinder. This was all operator error. Once you learn where to start, how fast to move, and how deep you should go, you'll love this thing. Oh, buy an RV camera, set it on the back of the housing pointing down and you will see it all.
