I own this Stump Grinder as well. Hands down the best implement I own. I have used on at least 200 stumps so far. It is easy to use and very addictive! I replaced a few teeth because of rock wear but other than that it works great.
I'm with the others. I love listening to a machine work, and in real time. I really appreciate you and your buddy doing this video. I've got many stumps to grind, it would cost me a small fortune to have someone else do it. I got a quote for $1,200 a day for stump grinding. This should be the ticket for my Kioti 2610 HST. Thanks for sharing.
That's a extremely useful implement! We have tons of stumps from the logging a couple years ago, this might be a cost comparable option to having someone come in and grind all of them. Thanks Hank!
@@SakimasRidgeHomestead that isn't too bad. That's what we paid for this one used. New is $2300, plus $300 shipping. Mine came with the extra set of teeth, too, which are $99. If it's not been used much, I would say it would be fair, but go for the best deal possible!! The fella I bought mine off of used it to grind his stumps and moved it on. But he also had a shuttle shift, which isn't recommended due to the operation principle. Woodland Mills told me that they have many like this, where shuttle shift owners buy them and aren't satisfied despite the warning that HST is highly recommended.
I think you need to do an extended test at the Heritage Farms prototype testing development center. After I use it a couple years, I can give you an update on how it holds up long term. Very informative video. Good job
Have the same stump grinder on my Kubota L4701 and it works great. Just a friendly heads-up that according to the Woodland Mills WG24 operating manual, in your video you are using the stump grinder incorrectly. They state you should always start grinding the stumps from right-to-left and never through the center of larger stumps or left-to-right as you did here in this video. How much of a difference does it make? No idea as I know I've done it incorrectly many times, but figured I'd pass this along.
Nice work that Woodland Mills grinder does. I've seen some of their products in action and they make some beefy equipment. Thanks for the video, Hank. Full watch.
You're right, Brandell. The slip-clutch is a neat feature. It sure beats changing shear bolts or damaging an expensive PTO. Easy carbide tooth replacement is a factor. The teeth looked like you could rotate them 4 times to use all 4 sides. Heck, I forgot to ask Hank how long it took to grind that stump below ground level. Have a good one, B.
@@houndsmanone4563 you know, I never thought about the possibility of rotating the teeth! When it comes time to replace, I may just look at doing that! A stump that size to just below grade like we did (1-2") usually takes 10-15 minutes. The issue is that once you do so much, you have to get off and move away the shaving to see if you missed anything. I did a few Live Oak stumps that were 48-60" in diameter, along with exposed roots. Those took upwards of an hour or more. The larger stumps really require two people, one as operator and one as spotter to be efficient.
@@brandellfleming3225 Yep, that makes sense, Brandell. Thanks for filling me in on the time it takes to grind a stump. I'm loaded with stump remnants on my land so I may try to totally remove them with an excavator or just my backhoe. I guess it depends on how energetic I feel (smile). Have a fine week and thanks again.
Hey Hank, why didn't you tell me we were recording a video?!?!? My wife won't be happy with my outfit choice! Glad I could help out with one of about a thousand stumps! Maybe we will have to do it again sometime.
Hey Hank! Cool video! I know I spent a lot of time trying to remove small(ish) stumps from my trails and I feel something like this on my Kubota would make that way easier! Thanks for sharing! Ill add this to the wish list LOL. I like how he said "finance department" im sure that means his wife LOL
@@HomesteadJay yes sir! I have to rep the stuff I dig! I've heard really good things about the 490. I like my 620, and I've got a 2511t, too, which is great. I think echo and Kioti make a great team!
I understand you cannot use one of these without a hydrostatic transmission. Which is too bad for me as I have a shuttle shift and cannot move slow enough without burning the clutch up.
That is how I got this one. The guy had a shuttle shift Mahindra 30ish HP machine. He was able to make it work for him to grind his dozen or so stumps from Hurricane Michael. But extended use with a shuttle would probably result in damage. Plus it would be a general pain to use!
I gave a mahindra 40 horsepower and I was all set to buy this stump grinder till I found out that hydrostatic drive is pretty much manditory Pretty disappointed
@@HamiltonvilleFarm thanks for the quick reply! My thought is that with the standard quick hitch, there's just 2 spring loaded fingers for the 2 bottom pins. If they moved (I've had it happen with a tiller), the grinder would become disconnected with a bunch of momentum in that wheel plus the pto pulling to one side!
@@valleytractorservices9310 yeah I'm totally with you. And I would be inclined to probably take my QH off if I was to put it on my tractor. That's definitely something to consider.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Thanks. Ive been looking at this grinder for the past year. I have a Kubota L3901 with hydrostatic transmission. Just wondering how comfortable is it during operation
Not bad at all. Once you figure out the rhythm/pace you want to attack the stump with, you're good. I seriously couldn't believe how easy it was the first time I used it. You're gonna get a lot done with it.

Oh yeah good ok sawhaul! Thanks Kenny for being so involved!
Kenny is a great guy!
I bought a Woodland Mills 6" wood chipper for my MF1635, what a unit, great equipment that is well built.
Yeah they're nice 👌
just ordered my WG24. Thanks for the overview.
They are nice
I own one , over two hundred stumps removed. Paid for it self many times over. Mahindra 3528.
WOW! That's probably how many I would have to do. That's great to hear.
That's a heck of a number of stumps. It would be a heck of a time to grind them all at once, though. 3 or 4 is about all I want to do at a time.
Type error: I own a 2538 Mahindra with cab, grapple up front. clearing 4 acres working one year.
That's a extremely useful implement! We have tons of stumps from the logging a couple years ago, this might be a cost comparable option to having someone come in and grind all of them. Thanks Hank!
Yeah, now that I've seen what it can do, I really need to look at getting one.
You might get lucky and find one used, that how I bought this one. It comes in handy for sure!

Hank, enjoyed the video. Brandell is a good neighbor to come over and grind your stumps. That stump grinder did a number on that pine stump.
It really did well. I thought it was a nice piece of equipment. Glad to see your light show doing well!
Woodland mills makes great products, I know we sure enjoy ours! Great video Hank, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Dave. Have a good one👍
They sure are! I recommend them to anybody.
That is a great implement to have, that stump grinder worked great
Yes sir Joey. Stay warm hunting. Been digging your videos.
Very handy tool thanks for sharing Hank
Thanks y'all. I appreciate you watching.
Pretty cool stump grinder. I have been looking at a ck4010 myself.
its a nice tractor and a nice stump grinder! Thanks for watching Ed.
It's a good combo for sure! I can't say enough good things about the ck4010hst. It's been great at everything I've thrown at it.
Looking good Hank, that makes life easier that's for sure!!🍒🍒🍒👍
yes it does Larry!
That's my next attachment I been looking at them thank u for sharing
You're gonna love it👍
I need to get one of those.
Thanks buddy
È una macchina eccezionale mi piace molto
Love the stump grinder. Great video
Thanks Y'all! It cuts like a hot knife through butter! (see what I did there?)
Lol 😂 ! Great implement, just need to get one now ha
Go Noles! 🙌🏼

Yes sir!
Sorry...get in line... scheduled for the North Idaho proving grounds next summer at Hiddenvalleyhomestead....🤣
Heritage Farms, I should be a good conservative and help the guy trying to escape California first😂😂😂
@@HamiltonvilleFarm AMEN TO THAT HANK!!! LOL...
Looks like a nice easy to use tool and for the price I see not too bad at all just a shame they don't make a larger model for my 120 horse tractor
You could do some serious grinding with one on a tractor that big!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Yeah I would put on my 1979 IH 1086 tractor lol
That worked pretty good.
Yeah it was really impressive and didnt require a lot of HP.
I was going to ask how much horsepower it is rated for but y'all covered that
A big Pat on the back for a seamless plug at the end there sir! Great video Hank, keep up the great work and happy holidays!
Thank you kind sir 👍 this video is performing very good for us. Insanely good really. Very blessed. Have a good day brother.

Is that stump grinder hard to hook up
Nice video
Just curious, bout how much are they
No, it's simple. They run in the $2k range
That grinder works good! Thanks Hank!

Lol. Yeah all us married guys have to run it by the CFO😁
@@HamiltonvilleFarm I agree with that LOL I dont even know my log in for my account hahaha
Yeah, these work really well for small stumps. You can get them in one or two passes without moving to the side.
@@brandellfleming3225 Thats awesome! Seems solid! Love the echo stickers too! I love my echo cs-490!

That is the best way if you only need it a little below surface.
Agreed
Do you have any stump grinding recommendations that don’t require a tractor?
Hire someone? That's we did for about 30 stumps. I made a video on it in my land management playlist 😊
The Kohler 14 horsepower 9-tooth stump grinder works great you can pick one up for about 1500$
Great video guys!
Thanks. -it was all me- * _i mean_ *Brandell*
I understand you cannot use one of these without a hydrostatic transmission. Which is too bad for me as I have a shuttle shift and cannot move slow enough without burning the clutch up.
I have a gear drive Mahindra 4540. I'd try it. 😁 But I see your point. Never thought of that.

Would it work on a kubota 2501
yes
How bad of an idea would it be to use one of these with a quick hitch?
Hmm. I don't know. We had it on Pat's easy hitch
@@HamiltonvilleFarm thanks for the quick reply! My thought is that with the standard quick hitch, there's just 2 spring loaded fingers for the 2 bottom pins.

Yes sir!
Hello my friend 👍👍
Hey John!
Why are climb cutting you should be cutting on the up side. Watch the Woodland Mills video and you will see what I’m talking about
how deep can each pass be?
Probably two inches I would assume. Maybe a little more depending on how hard the wood is.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Some kind of oak. I'm in South Louisiana. Live oak maybe?
@@phatrides222000 yeah you should be able to take it down below the surface in a few passes.
Hamiltonville Farm I haven’t ordered mine yet. Just doing my research for now. Going to be on an L2501
Kill the music. We can listen to the radio if we want music. Would like to hear the grinder and the tractor noises. Otherwise good video.
Odd comment coming from a guy named Tom Jones. 😂
Makes it hard to tell how well it works when you have in slow motion!?!? No need to be artsy when your showing a video of a stump grinder.
Thanks for watching
That must be a dull chainsaw blade lol
Music i clicked off wanna hete machine
ok
