That stump grinder is an absolute beast! And that's wet red oak!!

They say smoking takes 10 years off your life... I say StumpX takes 10 years off your skid steer's life! Very good video, thanks for keeping the video of the stump cutting itself mostly uncut. that was cool.

OMG that Red Oak is beautiful !

John, it’s just me,I would have loaded the back of the trailer first to keep the landing legs from digging in.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

That stump grinder is very controlled in the sense that it doesn't send debris all over the place. Good for sensitive areas.

33:25 Just had my stumps removed last week. The results were amazing!

That Stumpex is a wicked piece of kit, John. Thanks for sharing it with us. Upstate Brush Control has certainly grown a lot this last year, with all of the new equipment you have got now. Well done, guys. Your success is well deserved.

The word "Torque" comes to mind. Powerful stuff!

John I’m so impressed by your two men crew. They work so cohesively together. I love it. They always helping out each other.

That’s a gorgeous log. Good furniture wood.

What I admire about your company is you always are trying new things and learning.You show your wins and your fails.Not scripted hope y'all keep it that way great stuff!!

its a lot of fun to do that JOHN LOVED

I was crying as they were cutting up that perfectly straight log into smaller pieces.

You are a skid steer master my friend. I didn't think you would get that huge log up there but you proved me wrong. Those trees will make some nice lumber.

I own a tree company in Florida I've recently heard about the Stump X but have never seen it in action I rely on Bobcats as my primary wood movers so this was very cool to see.

Wow, that was a big stump. Awesome stump cutter!! Thanks for sharing!!

There is something hypnotic about watching that stump ex work. Great job especially as far down you went. Second time watching this video.

Great job John, soon made short work of those stumps. Liking your log trailer, very nice. All the very best Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍

Man, that is one heck of a beast! That hydraulic motor must be absolutely crazy. Fun to watch that thing eat stumps!

I retired out of the business a couple years back. I can’t believe I’m watching other people work. 😄. Guess I kind of miss it. Don’t miss the 100* heat though.

That Stump-Ex is a seriously sinister tool! Thanks for sharing!

The stump grinder did a good job and as always you and your crew does really good work and make it look a lot better.

It did look rough on your skid steer but that grinding sound was amazing! Great job fella's!

Great work as usual. That stump grinder was a lot of fun to watch!!!

I don't have enough need of one to buy one, but that stump grinder was awesome to watch. Looks like it did a good job.

Awesome equipment buddy!!! Dang it man!!! Having your own log trailer is awesome!!! You can get a load and run it yourself! Every dollar counts!

Mr. Jon 💪😎 the stump grinder was awesome, made me wish you had a small portable BBQ grill and a few steaks for you and the boys to cook up on using the stump chippings 🥩🥩🥩🫕🫕🫕, Mrs. Jodi great editing 💪👩, well wishes as always to you and the family, until next adventure, stay safe, stay awesome out there everyone 😊👋🍺🍺🧃🧃🧃

Man! That Stumpex puts out some torque to moving that 11,000 lbs RT120F around! Great Video! Keep up the good work.

UBC and Fecon are a great team. The grinder is so powerful and cool to watch. I don’t know what the view is like from inside the cab, but several times I thought if you inched forward or backward a hair the grinder head would be more perpendicular/ level to grind a straighter path down into the heart of the stump, especially on smaller stumps. Has Fecon thought about placing a large visible level on the black motor casing so the operator can watch the level bubble? Seems that would do the trick…if it’s even needed. Maybe I am overthinking the process. 😁 Another fine job by Jon, Josh, Willie and Micah!

Another great job excellent you and your team know how to get the job done God bless you all keep up the good work I enjoy you all video I stumble on your video by accident can't stop watching 👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎉🎉🎉🎉🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

That stump X is phenomenal beast! Once again, great job y’all! Upstate Brush Control Crew rides again!!!

Another good video John, Thank you for sharing.

Glad to see you pushing it to its limits

Impressive stump grinder, made fast work of stumps, thanks for sharing and inviting me to watch. .

Watching your machine run that stump x solidifies my decision to buy that style stump grinder.

Definitely a machine fit for the task great quality mulch for fire llighter or compost. Love thte big flakes its shaving...

John y'all are 💯 AWESOMENESS another 5 ⭐ video loved it 💯 God bless y'all keep'em coming see y'all next time.

Enjoyed the video! Beautiful oak, those burls would be excellent for the wood turners workshops, watch a few of those and they make beautiful things with scrap wood. You guys always do such a good job!

Josh has a GREAT smile! 😃

That attachment is awesome guys 🇮🇪🚜😎🤠🦸🖍️

I Would have rather looked out my widow and see that big oak. Not a swimming pool. Oh well everyone has priority’s.

Nice work! That stump grinder is a beast!

Great job with a powerful machine.

Great video John! Thank you!

That stump grinder did a good job❗️✝️❤️🙏

Second stump grind filming and editing was way better than the first stump in this vid. Good job!👍

That was extremely satisfying

Gringing the stumps was fascinating my great grand son liked it also.stay safe

I don't think you would want to run any smaller machine on that stumpex, lot of torque!

I seen a couple videos using a stump grinder like the stump-x before but, they were much slower. Time wise of digging the stump out would be just a long if not longer and you still have to get rid of the stump. If you are worried about the wear and tear on the 120 go out and buy a older machine just for the stump-x. The stump-x did a good job grinding the stumps up in a timely manner.

Thanks for video on stump x,boss just bought it and used it on 8 red gum eucalyptus so far so good to see it in action on bigger stumps other than what you find on KZfaq

First time I have seen one of those Stump Boring Heads. Looks like it is going to Work out very good for You and the Guys. Oh look for a Alignment Bar for lining up those bolt holes. That may just help You out.

I shared this with the guys at McDonald’s they were amazed!

That's an awesome stump grinder! Low gear after into the stump.

keep up the good work nice vid thank you guys.

Hey jon! Couple of tips for you! 1 plz wear your chaps! Your legs/ knees well thank you! Trust me i know! 2. When bucking size wood like that or bigger have at least 2 wedges with ! You can use them to keep your saw from getting stuck! 3 . On your logtrailer look at a trailer from the pnw! On our bunks thier is a peice of iron on the bottom of ours! Its thier to help keep your load of logs from moving or shifting ! The knives as thuer called help with it they cut into the logs enough so they dont move as easly. Trust me im nit sorried about your driving its the folks out thier in 4 wheelers that i am a hard breaking while hauling logs is not fir the fainted heart. And all yhe saftey you can take the better bro! Br safe

I'd love to get a peek at the engineering regarding the StumpEx. If I could make a suggestion? Cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible before starting would help a lot I think. You'd have less stump and you'd hit root/dirt quicker; just a thought. Great video as always. *God bless.*

You have a great machinery for all works and you a good machinist. The Oak tree must extremely old but healthy. If her the job plac to leave is it clean. The video instructive. 🇦🇹

Great job, man, that thing has torque!

..lookin' good, nice trailer, it should get 'er done..stay safe and have a great week...

Man I got to say bro tht stump grinder is a must.it gets the job done.like you said time is money and that's no ****

As someone who has farmed and understands how much of a bane stumps are to a farmer (and his equipment) this was oddly satisfying.

Great video really enjoyed it,at least y’all had some fun .keep doing what your doing and carry on.👍👍👍😎😎😎

Great job guy’s …👍👍👍

Good stuff John give Willy hell for me🤣💯👍🏼

Awesome job guys

Great video John, I love watching you and your team at work. Very addictive viewing 👍

Great video. The house kind of looks like a miniature version of the abandoned mansion on Demolition Ranch (Off the Ranch). LOL

Looks like those stump grinding shavings would make excellent smoker chips.

Wow! Super interesting machine.

That stump-x is an absolute beast 😱😱😱

Hiiii my friend John !!! Next is an up-rooter one shank for the mini that will help !!! Also look up the "Diamond bush destructor " in the hands of your team it should make wonder !!! Best regards guys and take care keep safe !!!

WOW! What a beast that FECON GRINDER was and the first spot you picked was spot on! or was that YOUR talent? Glad you didn't speed the video up cuz this thing was great to watch and we don't get to see those used! Also, that ASV picked up those logs like a school kid with a pencil. Great video, JOHN! Thanks! Sonny

Enjoyed the show

Fecon grinder did well . That was a big stump !

Just a FYI for you always put new tires on one axle never split them up cause you will wear them out quickly the new tire has more meat than the used tire witch will lift the use tire up and all the weight is now on the new tire. The tire place that put them on should have told you so it was either a lazy guy or one that was not trained correctly witch is still lazy but from the teacher

Man the amount of torque that puts on that boom

Nice grinder. You may even do better cutting if you had a guy with a steel rake to clear the hole. Seems like it slows when it is swamped in chips, plus you can see better..

Whooa .the shake on the asv 😭, felt bad for the rt-120. Glad it worked out in the end 😁, hope the rt-120 is ok. Keep up the good work and keep em coming John 👍.

Such a professional, stand up guy. You seem like good people, keep up the good work. And careful putting all that weight on the landing gear; trailer might sink into the ground and will be hard to hook up to the truck.

I would like to have seen the mulcher going over the stumps after they were bored.

Thanks for the great video, man that was sure a nice red oak tree, 🌳 that stump ex has got some massive torque and the strongest paint I have ever seen,😳 you think the paint would have peeled right off. As soon as it went down into the wood! Be sure and show how the coffee table turns josh! That should be awesome! 👍👋

Great Video I'll watch it twice.

That grinder did a nice job on the main stump but if I see a disadvantage it would be in chasing the roots out away from the stump, especially on the big ones like you had there. A conventional grinder may make it easier to chase those big roots.

That could make $$$$$ with a custom lumber mill guy. Imagine a table or desk top made out of wood with the kind of grain that would come out of that log. Yeah, if you don't have time a lot of those interesting logs end up as chips in the compost factory.

I think that's the first time I've seen you faceplant the skid steer like that. That had to be an odd feeling. That is one wicked stump grinder though. The way it walks the whole skid steer sideways just wow. It made an impressively easy job of that give stump. I don't know if you were, but I would continuously put forward pressure on that left track since that's the direction that stump grinder wants to walk the ASV. It might help prevent that torque walk.

Wow on that auger thing. Good, Thx

Thank you John and fecon there's nothing like putting the hands of your tools into a contractor Sands, what I got out of the video is that I would use this on 30in stumps or smaller otherwise it's too hard on the pins and bushing. If you have many of anything bigger than that higher a professional stump grinder machine.. I am more worried about you loading the front of that trailer without the tractor hooked up to, hopefully you will get it hooked up without tipping the trailer over and get it hooked up and or get it hooked up before the landing gear sink in the ground and can't get underneath that without unloading it first. I've been there and done that or with that the logs log loaded over-the-back tandems of the trailer or in the center if possible. One last comment on the stumpex make sure you get plenty of money when using it for pins and bushings and possibly welding.)-[@#=]

Personally, I prefer the vertical 'Wheel' type although I find it tends to be what the customer is doing with the land afterwards and the size of the 'stump' compared to the size of the 'cutter'. In your case the 'stump' was bigger than the 'cutter' - always a problem. In our Country you would have been welcomed at any mill with that Oak (branches and all), in fact they would probably have come and cut it down personally and taken it away, plus they would have paid you a very good price per cube for it. An Oak 40" at the base of the trunk is a very desirable tree, - Why, - Every single one in our Country (UK) has a 'preservation' order on it now.

That stump head sure does have huge amount of torque but the keeping of the bit stable on uneven surface is kind of a drawback. But still gets the job done, maybe FECON will develop a head that pivots like a standard high speed stump grinder. Great video🤩🤩🤩

That was AMAZING & mesmerizing, too! What happens next? Would you mulch with it? Do you sell it to a garden company? Would a large commercial company use it?

Great job and video like always

Looks like the grinder is hard on your boom pins side to side will wear pins quickly nice video 🤞

I'm pretty sure a smaller version of this grinder was used by my dentist on me last year for a root canal.

Great machine man

Thanks for the great video, awesome job 👍

40” across and healthy, I’ll bet that tree was 300 yrs old!

Awesome piece of kit

I think at times there was too much down pressure applied to the StumpEx. If you just let it eat, it shouldn't twist the loader arms. Patience is the key. You ground a 36" stump in 20 minutes I'd say you pushed it really hard even though you were very methodical with your approach.

Decided to give you a look and see what you are all about. I like what I see. If that was only the 2nd time you used that grinder and it only took 15 minutes to take that stump that size out I’d you did a good job young man. Nice clean job site to.
