Hey I really love the videos and use what you share to more less teach myself the trade as I research /save for equipment I would love to email you and pick your brain a bout some specifics if your interested if not I understand I will continue watching and learning, Keep up the great work, -Brandon from CT

I can produce nice work, but i am a amateur. I personally tape all my edges and lines, buff the main panel, pull tape and carefully finish buffing. No accidentally burnt edges. I love my Milwaukee cordless buffer and my dewalt corded buffer. All depends on exactly what im doing.

Thanks so much for your videos, I appreciate your honesty and humbleness, it’s good to see someone being positive and passing on knowledge. Just opened a stump grinding business in NY and your videos have been a HUGE help. Now my question 😂how to you charge chasing roots? Again thanks so much for your info

Adam, great video mustang will take time but you’re methodical in your process. Keep’m coming brother. Fran

That car is cleaning up nice. Walmart batteries are way underrated they are the cheapest and I have always had good luck with them. Also I got the shirt yesterday thanks Adam!

Hi there, was wondering if you could help me here. What kind of business insurance is needed for a stump grinding business?

One of the best movies of all time

killer video thnx !!

The last year we have removed three of four poor looking silver maples in our property. All look like this inside.

Can't beat the old wool pad on the rotary the daul action is great for cleaning those swirls up tho

Great advice.. You and your family have a wonderful weekend. Learning something new everyday.

The best day for tips! Everyone has that paycheck burning a hole in their pocket.

Find something real cool every once in a while! Never know what to expect, bolt cutters a new one for me. Happy grinding good sir.

AWSOME

How much was the estimate :)?

That's dozer work.

I just wonder if my Rayco RG55T would be big enough ? lol....

Man you know we can do em if we want to 😂! Wait till you see what I found in a stump today!

2600$

That a mess.... and then when you give them the estimate, they'll act shocked!!!!!! LoL

Thank you for all the info

Having lost 2 people I love, I try harder to treasure the time we have left.

Buy a cheap old school load tester from Temu...analog old school...cost about 28.00 works great.

Rember guys to always attach the positive terminal 1st and then the negative terminal. Great job Adam.

Mine was defective within a few months. LCD screen developed lines across it making it difficult to read and as time went on it's now mostly impossible to read. Not something you use everyday so was too late to return. I would look for another brand.

That’s grind and leveled 😂😂

Would have taken me 25 mins 🤷🏽‍♂️

Being low on blinker fluid is a common problem but on the 4th of July, I tend to be more concerned that some of the vehicles will be filled up with something like ethanol or other high octane lubricants. Just sayin...

That would have been so useful the other day lol. Never thought about an at home battery tester but now I think I’m going to have to get one.

I always like grinding oak they grind awesome

We had to remove a large black oak tree that had been allowed to grow for decades a few feet away from the house we bought. I’d never seen a tree decimate tools so quickly with so little yield! But on the bright side, it was a project that brought out all the neighbors, volunteering their time and equipment. Loved that neighborhood and I have that stubborn black oak to thank for the introductions!

Mine had a blown fuse today, but I had a bag of spares from a junkyard in my trunk. Video still helpful for cleaning and lubing mine like I still need to do.

I step it off with my foot too.

28 minutes is pretty good.

Satisfying.

Enjoy the video keep up the great work!

The switch is 15 bucks on Amazon.

The tips of the day a great thanks Have a good day

My vermeer sc252 has a smoking problem , im tearing the motor off it , who bores out kohler motors , its .003 passed min spec. cylinder size , thought about order piston and rings next size up and honing it myself , id rather find a shop to bore it though

Been an automotive technician for 28 years. And it's a combination of blinker fluid low and driving with there knees while texting...smh

I used to help my father on occasion do this, he charged $2.50 a foot . This would have paid $300.00 if it was part of a couple of stumps, but if not then the minimum charge of $500.00 would be the pay, he had a Rayco Super 50 this would have taken about 45 minutes to do. And by help I mean I would fetch the water when he needed it. He was 65 and had cancer in 70% of his body from agent orange, it was discovered in 1999 when they did the workup for the surgery, they found a 99% blockage in the artires in his hart, so he had a double by-pass and 45 days later had prostate surgery, the cancer had made it into his blood stream and was a 9 on the 1-10 aggression scale. He did the trials at the University hospital pretty much all of the trials that came up involving the cancer treatment. He was one of the first to take the loopron shot, he lived 20.3 years from the day they did the surgery. He visited his hart surgeon that did the bypass 14 years later and the man cried when he saw my dad, he told him no way on earth would he have bet he was still alive much less walking and getting out in the 90-100° weather and working like he did. For those that don't know stupgrinding is a very tough job. The hart surgeon passed away at the 16 year mark. Dad live on untill October 15th 2020. Oh and the day after he came home from hart surgery he got on his grass hopper mower and cut the 9.8 archers of land he lived on. One tough man. He would not let anyone help him. He finally sucome to his pain when the Veterans Admin took away his pain meds for receiving meds from a second Doc they sent him to and he went for about 48 hours with out them, the stress of dealing with the VA and sitting in the er begging for his meds every ten days took its toll on him that started his final decline. Oh and a stage four terminal cancer patient was exempt from the rules of double prescription, and the med that caused the whole thing a double script of Gaba Penton. The VA refused to give him the meds back. He had to find an outside doc to take over during the middle of the opioid hysteria! Unintended consequences gave him his cancer (agent orange) and unintended consequences finished him off that and a total lack of common sence and empathy from a indivisual more worried about their licens than the veteran. All due to bureaucratic and three letter agencies punishing the masses rather than the individuals for abuse of the system. Sorry I got off on this tangent. I used to love hanging out with him and doing the stump jobs. Or I should say watching him do them. I bet I touched that machine tree times in the years I spent going with him. It is what kept him going. I spent my time moving the chairs from stump to stump we would sit and talk in and making sure the water was cold and plenty was in the cooler. You could see the sparked in his eyes when the week was some what full of jobs to do. He would smile evertime the customer would say when can you start. The work I belive did more for his pain psychological than the meds did. The ability to put in a full days work and still get paied at his age and condition was more of a healing thing than any meds he had taken, he worked 48 years for GM and was the one who turned the lights off in the plant when the last worker left it for the last time when it was closed. This was his retirement wish. That was in 2004 or somthing like that. Thanks for sharing this video it brought a smile.to my face an fond memories to my hart.

Some people ya just can't help .

That would be Cool Hand Luke.

Lmaooo like a pizza pie 🤌🤌

I used to have that same machine it would take 1 hr , don't fight the chips ,move the machine to fresh areas also my machine has a bigger swing left to right

352 35hp gas engine, Vermeer pro teeth. That would take me 2 hours. Am I not running the machine hard enough? Engine rpm issue? I keep tips sharp.

Adam,on that job do you push the rocks out of the way? What about the teeth if you hit a rock?

Great job as always Adam. I love to see the mods you put on Big booty Judy. You’re great 👍🏻

So ugly it’s beautiful.

When you chase roots (any species) how far down and out do you go? I usually stop when the root is more than 2” below grade.
