I celebrate Father's Day this year by attacking one of the stumps that I specifically purchased the Woodland Mills WG24 Stump Grinder to tackle. But perhaps all is not smooth sailing at the Watershed Overlook, as I address some things about the WG24 that kinda' grind my gears!

I SO felt your pain connecting that PTO, Chris!!! It brings out the sailor in me too, LOL.

The stump grinder worked great! I was rooting for the FEL to just pop that stump right up on the first attempt. I hope you had a great father's day dinner!

Hey Chris. Had mine for about 4 years now. I use a cheap adjustable strap to suspend the shaft at the right height so I can use both hands. Also every time I install it I spray as much penetrant on the locking pin mechanism as possible! I don’t use my quick hitch with it so that might make it a little easier. And ya, the clip on the chain is serious!! Does a great job though…enjoy.

@watershedoverlook Ай бұрын

Thanks for watching Bruce. I like the penetrant idea! And I agree...it does do a great job, especially for its size and price point! 👍😎

Got same problem with our Dogwood trees I like stumps like that Tractors make life so much easier for sure Nice camera angle You can use that GoPro on IPhone to see where your at without leaving the seat 👍 Looks like you got the learning curve out of the way Nice Job 👍 I hate that PTO shaft type also Just like the one on my tiller Quick hitch gets in the way also Have a great weekend! I’m Laughing and Crying at the same time because I know EXACTLY what your going thru 😂

Thanks Phil...based on the feedback, it definitely seems like the complaints are pretty common! Have a great weekend. 👍😎

I use Pat's Quick Hitch and there is a lot more room to get into the PTO hookup without the top link and quick hitch frame in the way. Love my WG24 grinder. I do take as much of the horizontal sway out as possible so the grinder is less prone to jumping around when grinding. Plus, when I take mine off, I place a 4x4 under the back of the grinder to hold the blade off the ground so I can turn it to align the shaft if needed. I've ground probably close to 200 stumps with mine.

@watershedoverlook Ай бұрын

That 2x4 idea is a good one. I'm going to look into adding one to the dolly it rests on. Thanks. 👍

Chris I had to cut a couple of my PTO Shaft Plastic guards back some to get my hands in there. It is aggravating for sure! I'm not sure what is worse the button lock or the Collar Lock that you have to pull back. Good video. Hope you week is good.

@watershedoverlook, hey Chris! Great to see you back out on the LX again! One thing I thought of, that I actually picked up from @gpoutdoors (thanks, Gord!!), was have you thought about an overrun clutch? Gord did a great video explaining the use for one, and it's benefits, including about 4" - 6" extra length from the output shaft, and reduced wear and tear on the tractor during deceleration of the implement. May be worth looking into. I'm awaiting delivery of an MX9900 wood chipper for the back of my 3310, and I bought an overrun clutch for that, as it has a 225 lb flywheel. Of course if you do get one, you'll have to check and potentially cut your PTO shaft a little. Good luck Chris, and take care! -Tyler

@watershedoverlook Ай бұрын

@tylerd4522 Thanks Tyler. Actually, I do have an overrun clutch (that I purchased for an attachment that I bought but haven't talked about on the channel). I did consider using that, although I'd need to recheck the shaft length. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍😎

Sold my speedco quick hitch recently, it just gets in the way. The implements I use the most it can't accommodate, hydraulic stump grinder , ditch bank flail mower etc. Plus just something else to work around hooking up drive lines.

That thing is a beast, were you using the camera to help position it? Oh yes moving and setting cameras makes the job take longer. PTO clip are ridiculous I always have issues with mine. Fighting the shaft is a pain. My PTO shield flips up and out of the way, makes it easier

@OrangeismyNewGreen Ай бұрын

Hi Chris, I was frustrated as well watching you install the grinder. Try using French cussing words like "sacrableux" 🤣I wonder if those PTO quick connect could help, Martin @DYI My Way installed one, video #175 ? Maybe adding a carabiner to that stiff clip would make it easier?. Just some suggestions Chris, Happy belated Father's Day 🙋🏼‍♂👍🏻🥃

Thanks Luc. Maybe "Merde!" as well?! I've been considering a small carabiner as well. Good thoughts. Also, happy belated Father's Day to you as well. Cheers!
