- Using Mower To Grind Tree Stumps
The ideal stump grinder must be an agile, powerful, turf-friendly mobile unit that is maneuverable in all locations from lawns, golf courses, parks, and municipalities. Today we are on-site at a college campus that utilizes several Ventracs for various types of mowing. And while most municipalities aren't grinding stumps daily, they will likely have down-time during the off-season to tackle jobs like tree and stump removal. That is where having a Ventrac is invaluable because of the wide variety of secondary attachments the tractor offers. Choosing a Ventrac saves the campus's budget from contracting out this work or buying an additional machine to get the job done.
The Ventrac KC220 Stump Grinder features 18 replaceable heavy-duty carbide cutting teeth on a large 22" rotor for removing large or small stumps. Cutting action is controlled with the forward and reverse motion using the tractor's hydrostatic drive. The Stump Grinder features offset, out-front operation to provide excellent visibility resulting in better performance and efficiency.
An increased rotor speed of 1300 RPM equates to a faster tip speed and more significant amounts of material removed with each pass. In addition, with an increased cutting depth of 8 inches, stumps are removed faster than ever.
The new material blade, operated by the hydrostatic hand controls, helps push material away from the working area to uncover portions of the stump that needs to be removed.
The stump grinder works in a sideways orientation, making this attachment's operation more intuitive, faster, and with an easier learning curve. In addition, set-up and installation on the tractor are easy, and an operator can quickly become a pro at using this attachment effectively.

The creation of a chip collection vacuum system would change the stump grinding game. It looks more possible with this design than the previous one.
I noticed that every time he took too big of a bite, the video cut to another scene. Guessing it hogged the machine down. Ventrac, do us a favor.... Lets see the video uncut!
Doing the stumps is the easy part…chasing roots all day gets old real quick!
If you already have a chip collection chute, why not use the rear vacuum bagger for dust collection?
I would love to hear that 4520 engine rpm when you take a big bite off of that stump. Killing the back round music would help
Graber has the best job in the world!
I like this design much better
Thanks David!
How about a forestry mulching head for the Ventrac?? I think that would be an awesome attachment!! #ventrac
We will forward this to our R&D Team! ✊
@@ventrac THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
The mulching head will complete the Ventrac, making it the #1 choice for medium too small land management jobs.
@@justintrice4983 yes sir I agree 100%
@@ventrac yes, definitely would want a forestry mulching head
The wheel on the grinder goes round and round
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I now have done several stumps with my Ventrac stump grinder, and my biggest 6 foot diameter stump, showed me that the chip end, where the chips fly should be designed like a funnel, in other words, be bigger at the chip side, so that as the stump chip pile grows, (chips expand from a dense stump to a pile..quickly,) and the chips clog the chute. So on the next try, make the output end bigger by 2 fold if possible. The design is exactly the opposite of what it should be, the grinder end should be half the size of the opposite grinder end.

We appreciate the feedback on the stump grinder. We are always trying to improve our products so that the end user is getting the best possible equipment Ventrac is capable of providing.
The grinder wheel really does a nice job making small chips, my diesel has no problem pulling the inertia, but the approach angle matters, since there are no side biting teeth, but then that would make the unit more expensive…the flex frame will lets the wheel grab and deflect into the stump shutting the engine down instantly, that’s more of a challenge with the old 4500 since the steering linkage heim joints are more sloppy.
Like too demo one,too see different between my older one too new one.
Hey Tom, give your local a dealer a call and see when they will have a new unit to demo! www.ventrac.com/dealers
Looks like it jumps around a lot less than the old attachment how much does the new on weigh
I am never really impressed when someone demonstrates any cutting tool on Pine! Makes me wonder if there is a reason no Oak Stump was used!
