greta video, lots of hard work, don't know why there are so many dislikes and smartass comments. I think you did a bang up job

I love watching stump removal

Super job tackling this massive stump. Stihl MS661 chain saw is a beast. Woodland Mill 24 is very impressive. Thanks for the great vid.

Hey fellow grinder. I do what you do, cut them low first as I have a small machine. Helps a lot. One thing I do on ones this size is pie them up from the top down first. One that size probably in more than just four pieces in my case, as I don't have anything but me a wheel barrel and a hand truck to haul the pieces off with. I believe it does help me cut the top off too, that's why I make mention of it.

Cutting a stump that size is a PITA. I cut and ground one about that size a couple of days ago. I used a 18" chainsaw and then rented a Toro STX-26 grinder. It took me 5 hours to cut the stump and another 5 hours to grind it. It was a Maple tree so the wood was pretty hard and it had an extensive root system. I wound up making a ton of plunge cuts with the saw and did some 45 degree side cuts the same as you. I was very jealous of your chainsaw and grinder:) I had a lot of trouble making my cuts match up and probably cut 3 times more than I would have to if my cuts had all matched up. If I had owned my own STX-26, (which swings side to side as opposed to yours), I would use the stump grinder around the base of the stump first and bite into the base as far as possible to begin with. That would have reduced the diameter of my stump quite a bit and made the chainsaw work much easier. But since the grinder was a rental I didn't want to spent that much time on the grinding. Great job!

Good job. I cut down two large maple stumps last week that were grown into a woven wire fence. Plus had bricks and glass inclusion. If you run across those run away.

That is one tough stump! Good job!

Now I know what to expect next week ( hopefully) on getting a huge pear tree stump out. Professional tree co. took out the massive tree last week but will come back and remove all the roots all over my yard and grind down the stump. The tree was over 80 years old.

Wish you were in California, I'd pay you to come do the tree in my front yard! Lol. Good work!

Where I live in Europe, they use a back hoe to cut a trench around the stump, taking in the roots. Then they pull it out and leave it beside the hole for a couple of weeks to let all the bugs and insects come out of the wood and crooks and crannies and go back into the hole, etc. The trunk can then be hauled off and used as wood for a number of projects.

2 tips to help your saw last: 1) Don't rev it hard without load eg @1:30 - it's OK to spin the chain at low speed near the stump and check bar lube is spraying off, but not rev full tilt with no load - bad for the engine. 2) Keep your bar and chain out of the dirt where you can eg @5:30 and @5:40 as the less dirt you get onto your chain and into the cuts the longer it'll stay sharp. I'm not sure what chain you were using but semi-chisel instead of full chisel is good for stump work as it stays sharper longer and can handle dirt / nicks better than full chisel.

It would have been nice to hear the machine..I'm glad i fast forward the vid

I'm shocked that Woodland Mills doesn't have a grinder to match up yet against the Baumalight 3P24. I'm stuck between one of the ones like you have, or the 3P24.

Super nice equipment (I'm jealous).

Thank you for the informative film and a lot of useful techniques shown on how to cut the tree stump as much as possible to the ground level. My concern is that even if you grind the stump and level well the stump might start start to regrow. We need to remove one tree, which grows between 2 houses (they are at a distance ~ 3 yards), so there is no place for excavator machine there. I would burn it in a slow manner, but there is AC unit sitting next to it. So it looks like to grind that stump to the surface level would be the best option, but I'm afraid it will start to grow back again or if it is a big tree it won't? I would appreciate any opinion on this matter.

That was a monster stump.

Any recommendations for sharpening the teeth on that grinder?

🌳 wow

Nice job ! I was impressed...and I don't impress easily... pc

Is that a water maple stump? Very good technique but a little dulling for chain, ah well, that is what a file was made for.

Why are you holding the saw backwards?

Nicely done.. how much did you charge for a hogma like that?

Use a hard nose bar Sparky!

👍👍👍🤝🤝

I use a metal detector on my stumps before I grind. It detects metal.

This style of grinder only works with a tractor that has a hydrostatic transmission not a gear to gear type

I would drill holes all around the stump then use fire to burn it away

que precio tiene la demoledora de tacón...

Dude I always trash so many chains going through stumps. Hate it

This is the way to do the job of stump removal. Cut as much wood off as you can with your chainsaw as new saws an bars an chains are cheaper then stump grinders an tractors . Big stumps are more romantic for infomercials I understand but why ware out your most expensive equipment ?

You’re lucky there was no old metal grown in the stump

Baumfrevel..., mehr fällt mir hier nicht ein.

So 'nen richtigen "Plan" kann man bei dem Herrn nicht erkennen, weder beim Gebrauch der Kettensäge noch beim Einsatz seiner landwirtschaftlichen Maschine. Gut auch, unter der auslaufenden Sägekette das Sägemehl mit der nackten Hand wegzuwischen ... Fazit: NICHT NACHMACHEN!

Sägehose.????

Can use an axe to split the wood in less than a minute.

Waste energy! I would use the machine claws to dig up the trunk.

Stump grinder footage was cool. Music was totally inappropriate and made me not want to finish the video or subscribe to your channel. Many youtubers mistakenly think that adding music enhances their videos, but the truth is most viewers do not share your musical tastes and are not here to listen to music. Narrate the video and leave off that stuff.

Sharpen your chain for goodness sakes my man.
