Our doppstadt Shredder Shredding A Large Tree Stump

KCM Metals & Skip Hire Shredding a large tree stump using doppstadt shredder.

[@andrewuk8363]

Rumour has it that machine is still working on the same tree 13 years later...

[@edlane1883]

About as exciting as watching paint dry

[@redsuperduty1]

This is called a retirement machine you throw the stump in when it's done you're retired !

[@stevenfan1218]

In order for that machine to work properly. It has to have constant weight to work properly.meaning keep piling it on.whats on top will push it down.

[@woodgrinderguy1060]

I'm i the only guy screaming at the operator to put more shit in the hopper or reposition the damn stump! Properly fed the dopstatt is a awesome shredder

[@easttexasengineering3489]

I’d be willing to bet the union workers love this machine because they get lots of sit around time watching how slow this thing is.

[@GtiGraedske]

You need three weeks to shred a whole tree

[@webwillie1]

And only cost $100 in electricity.

[@erdmannchenontour8488]

Da hätte ich als Chef, Schnappatmung bekommen. Zeit und Diesel vergeudet, da hätte man sicher und der Zeit noch paar schaufeln dazu kippen können....

[@arkansastrash320]

kinda slow seems like that would use a lot of disel just for one tree stump?

[@CaptCaveman379]

Is he trying to break the machine??? He needs to load more wood in this so the machine doesn't keep kicking the stump around when the hammers hit the wood

[@50AHenry]

Don't want to be unkind, but the machine did seem to spend a lot of time not doing very much.

[@peternewman958]

That’s how they work similar to a tub grinder there’s no feed wheel and you get the best performance with a lot of material on top that holds the material on the bottom in hard contact with the mill and its teeth. There tealy suited to stumps and other awkward shapes rather than logs which suit horizontal grinders or chippers etc.

[@BobMarley-oq5yq]

That machine isn't designed for large stump shredding I would say.

[@joelmartin2549]

That machine isn’t really designed to do anything

[@waynerainey2606]

Wow, you got ripped off if you purchased that piece of junk we rent an ARJES XXL when our back lot filled up with green waste. We turn it into mulch, then compost it. Small organic farmers love it. I could have done a dozen hardwood stumps (most likely more) in the time it took you to do those two little pieces. You’re losing money with that machine’s output. What’s it rated at, 20 stumps an hour 😂

[@paddyboyyy]

I bet that was pretty expensive to shred that trunk?

[@jarikosonen4079]

It could be hard to tell what is optimal blade diameter and design... The roots seem to be bouncing a lot in this design, even getting shredded eventually. Can this woodwaste be used later or only for composting? Can it be combined with the chipper?
It looks like shredding the roots is quite slow and they are bouncing a lot in almost all the machines there is.

[@daveycrocket4873]

Another couple pieces of wood in there to help the stump move around a bit would have been better

[@MrJeff832000]

this video was dull as a old doornail im sorry its was a fail

[@paulwilliams8555]

Seems like the operator is getting paid by the hour. Obviously, the shredder isn't made for large stumps so he's gotta help it along.Why not throw other debris in to help? Operator is owner's son.

[@EYorks]

Fair enough maybe would have put some other material in with it but impressive non the less! Alternatives are buying a tub stump grinder for the odd stump ( expensive) or paying £130 a ton landfill.

[@joelmartin2549]

Yeah if I had a Doppstadt I’d be looking for another way to shred that stump too!

[@cathiwim]

With only one barrel, its really slow and inefficient. I think theMorbark or Raptor would have been done by now.

[@DarkVoidIII]

You might think that, but I just watched a video recently of the Morbark working stumps and it was almost as long as this video. Shredders don't magically shred logs or stumps fast, they work slow on them and require a properly fed hopper.

[@jamesshanks2614]

If he had put another heavy pice on top of it then it would have worked better.

[@nicholasgoodfellow5774]

Cant the crane operator pick it up?

[@idunnohow2play]

all done

[@egonhaslebacher7082]

don't blame the machine, blame the useless operator for not using the right tool, no wonder the end product is so expencive.

[@elainetwum3465]

what a waste of time. you just told the internet not to buy your machine.

[@MatthewBanchero]

Should have bought a crambo

[@tracynation239]

Good video. ♡ T.E.N.

[@billm5291]

I think its just a big tumbler. I bet they aren't making much money with that machine.

[@carbastan1461]

Для чего идут измеченные пни и ветки?

[@carbastan1461]

@Steve Shrader ?????

[@martinaguilar8430]

The frk’n machine rotates too slow

[@varbaseen6389]

yiusless....

[@anthonyciferri91]

What the mater the Shredder can't do the Job

[@anthonyciferri91]

What a wast of money

[@anthonyciferri91]

Still at it

[@anthonyciferri91]

How much Gas

[@jimmarshallman6300]

Pretty ordinary effort .....

[@Georges-MILLION]

Cette machine n'est pas très performante !
This machine is not very powerful !

[@johnzeller1338]

WOW man!! That machine stinks!

[@robertculpepper761]

Ain't gonna do it. To hard

[@user-ke1ur9zh6w]

Way too long

[@westerntraveler2835]

Cancel the orders for this type of machine; not worth the time it takes to shred 1 tree stump. Other machines can do it better and faster!

[@franklinbrooks9506]

You have to choke the input much more to get proper performance. This is a terrible video. Makes the machine look utterly impotent.

[@lesparker7949]

That shredder is not worth buying. Piss poor performance

[@tdabreo80]

Poor design!
