"My Engine Exploded... Right in My Face!"
Sometimes the hardest lessons in the tree services business come with a bang-literally. I’ll never forget the day my stump grinder motor blew up right in my face. One second, I was grinding away, thinking I was wrapping up a job, and the next, the motor gave out with a deafening boom. Smoke, oil, and pieces of machinery flew everywhere. For a split second, I thought the whole machine was going to catch fire.
Luckily, I wasn’t hurt-just covered in grease and feeling like I’d lost a wrestling match with a piece of equipment. That breakdown wasn’t just inconvenient; it was a costly reminder of how essential maintenance is in this line of work.
It set me back not just in repairs but also in downtime. But if there’s one thing this business teaches you, it’s resilience. I got that machine back up and running, and now I’m even more meticulous about checking my gear before heading out.
Sometimes, it takes a disaster to sharpen your skills-and your focus.

"The $ Mistake I Made on This Stump Grinding Job!"
Переглядів 1,3 тис.Місяць тому
In Huntsville, I recently learned a tough lesson in bidding tree and stump jobs. 🌳 I underestimated the overall cost of a tree removal project and threw in the stump grinding as part of the package, hoping to make the bid more appealing. Unfortunately, that initial underbid left me with very little profit margin for the stump grinding portion, which meant I barely covered the costs. It was a va...

Clear Debris: Remove loose rocks, twigs, or other materials around the stump to avoid interference with the grinder. Cover Nearby Objects: If working near homes or cars, cover them to protect from dust....

    Not knocking the RG50 at all. Its a decent unit for sure,but i belive if i had one,the first thing i would probably do is remove that useless lexan. I dont know exactly how long they stay translucent,but everyone of them ive seen are yellowed so bad . I would replace it with a small hole sheet of expanded metal. That would keep out bigger chunks of stump,rock ect ect from hitting you while allowing you to still see thru it. One's PPE can stop the smaller debris. It would be better than having to look around as most have to do. Love your videos

    This is the smartest way to get rid of a tree stump. I am a great believer in using a professional for chores that can be dangerous or time consuming. A pro like this has the equipment and the experience to do a quick and 100% effective stump removal. Burning a stump is so "neanderthal" 👈🏾

      @ I always let mine warm up . All metal has expansion rates depending on temperature. Pistons and motor blocks expand at different rates. Pressing that throttle before that block expands will wear them rings quicker by not only the temperature difference it’s the instant strain u put on it when engaging that pump. Every good mechanic always lets their car warm up .
