I have been waiting for you to get this ever since you started on the new sawmill shed, to destroy those pesky stumps. I have to give Woodland Mills credit for a great job in crating there products for shipping. Everything they do seems to be top notch.
I have had the same model for five years now. This thing is great! No more annoying stumps to mow around. One bit of advise, Don't let your neighbors know you have a stump grinder as they all have "one" they want gone. But after the video it may be to late. The only thing I have had to to is replace one bit. The next spring project is replacing the two bearings on the cutting wheel. The grease zerks have stripped out. Lower quality metal. Not a big thing as I have ground out over 100 oak stumps so far. Most were 14 inch's and a dozen over two feet across.
A different kind of Grinder app. Going to be a useful tool to keep pathways clear and free and safer - especially when there is enough snow to hide stumps but not enough to rider over them safely.
I purchased one of those last year and love it. Woodland mills makes really great products. I've done around twelve stumps so far all of them hardwoods. There is definitely a learning curve with different size stumpsbut the more you use it the better you will get.
Good to hear it's working well for ya Bill. I'm looking forward to trying it out on some more stumps real soon. Will be a learning curve for me as well
Useful machine to level out all those stumps. The un-Level ground is always a tripping hazard. Nice to level the ground when bushwhacking and adding more buildings to the mill.
You will have fun with that. I've had mine for a few years, done over a 100 stumps. Clearing my dead ash trees. Rotate the higher up teeth into the lower portion of the wheel as they wear, saves on teeth replacing. There is a sweet spot on the wheel that they want you to use, prevents jumping around. Keep your three point arms tight. Good luck enjoy 😉
I picked up one of those in the summer. It works great on my little 23HP BX25 Kubota but its hard on my messed up neck looking back all the time so I need to train my wife to run it...
Bought mine about 6 months ago. Probably taken out about 30 stumps so far. Vary happy. Definitely hang on to that steel crate. I added casters and a top to mine. Makes a great rolling work table.
Good to hear it's working out well Don. I'm looking forward to getting some stumps taken care of real soon. That crate sure is handy. As you can tell in this video, a table is something I could've used for setup haha
Thanks for sharing your are the first person I've seen show the break in procedure on a slip clutch. I don't own anything with a slip clutch and always wondered how to do a break in. I can't wait to see the stump grinder in another video I have on on my wish list.
I added a quick hitch to my 3 point. Sure works great for putting attachments on and off. Today I hooked up to my snowblower for the winter, just literally back up to it, picked it up and it's on. Hook up the PTO and it's ready to go to work!
It sure would be nice if you could have a camera mounted underneath...like you did..but then have that transmitting to a tablet in the cab of the tractor!!! Glad you got a new toy...now you have to show why you would do the grinding vs digging it up with the excavator you got!!!
That would be pretty slick. Would give a great view of what's happening down tehre without having to turn back and look all the time. I'll be sure to get the mini ex out to see what does better with the stumps. I'm thinking this will be faster since my mini ex isn't that big
I am considering purchasing one of these, I hope to see you putting this to work real soon in another video. After watching this one I am certain this will beat my little DK that I have to manhandle. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Sandy, I've been watching a lot of your videos in the last year or so, and I really enjoy the simplicity of everything you do. So I'm watching you unpack this stump grinder which by the way is a really cool piece of equipment to have, and a thought occurred to me. What I would have done, and I know this seems simple, but I would have taken that frame that you pulled off the stump grinder set it on the ground cut a couple pieces of cardboard to go across it that was already laying there and make yourself a table to organize everything so you're not bent over picking up stuff and having pieces all over the place. That's just me I like a work table and you had it all sitting right in front of you. Come on man. Lol. I'm just messing with you. Thanks for sharing.
Sandy You're killing me! I'm going to go broke watching your channel. I already have a WC68, Just about to pull the trigger on a HM130MAX, now it looks like I can't live without a WG24. I got turned onto Woodland Mills from your channel and I have to say that I have had an absolute blast using my WC68 Wood Chipper at my U.P. Michigan property as well as at my home in SE Michigan. It was packaged really well and the instructions were straightforward and easy to read. Looks like the same was true with the WG24. Just kidding about going broke. The WC68 has already paid for itself and the other equipment will do the same. Great video as always.
hahah sorry about that one Paul. Real nice area of the country you live in in the UP. I visited there a few years back and had a great time. Some really rugged country. I travelled across from Duluth MN to the Sault and ended up visiting most spots along the cost of Lake Superior.
The stumpgrinder was my first WM purchase. Love it. Then came the chipper. Love it too. Now the 130max mobile. Trifecta!!! Love the way they package the equipment.
Thanks for the video Sandy! I have both the grinder and the chipper. Both work great! I do not have a hydrostatic drive and the clutch and low gear really get a workout. Definitely don’t recommend using the grinder without a hydrostatic drive. I want to trade in one of my two tractors to a hydrostatic with a lift, then get the sawmill. I’m retired now and have 40+acres and the trees that get blown down would keep me busy sawing them up. Love your channel and love the information you give. Thanks!!
Hey Terry! Great to hear from you about the gear drive tractor. I wasn't really sure how it would go but I can imagine the hydro trans would be a bit easier to use. Sounds like a nice plot of land you've got as well.
There is nothing better than a stump grinder for satisfaction on my wood lot. I have a different, Canadian made, stump grinder. Fast, complete and improves esthetics of my playground. BTW I do have a WC88. Bought it after I watched your WC in action.
Sandy, I have had this same stump grinder for years. It works very well. When I assembled mine, I put the bolts for the deflector up from the bottom because I figured the dirt would damage the treads and make replacement harder. Good to see you read the manual and adjusted your clutch. I can't say I did the same. I learned something from this video. Looks like maintenance is in order before I run mine again.
Howdy Sandy- glad you got the stump grinder. I’m sure you’re going to get a lot of good use out of it. Looks like a great piece of equipment. Take care and God bless
I have a friend that I owns one of these he loves it been planning to borrow it but would like to just purchase my own would be really handy. Woodland Mills does make quality equipment with good paint and all this will last you for years great video Sandy
Nice job on this video, you covered the unboxing & setup well. Had to smile though as I'm sure you know by now that you started grinding on the wrong side of the stump first. Fir is soft wood so it took it well. Anyway, good to see you love your machine as I do mine. Isn't Woodland Mills a Top Notch company?! They were fantastic to deal with. Deja Vu when I saw you with the box on the pallet forks... great memory for me too. Keep on grindin'!
Hello Sandy. When you get around to doing a daily grind, I hope you set a goal so that you do not get tired of using the grinder. I can't imagine how many stumps you have, but I would guess it could be close to 1000+. Have good days!
We have one of those too. Very handy. Make sure your lower arms are tight, otherwise it can jerk hard to the side when you first make contact with the stump.
That will be great like when you built the addition for the saw mill where you put a new road or things like that you will find some used for it have a great day
I live in Oregon. I bought the house I'm in now 3 year's ago. The previous owners had the property close to the house logged after 2 trees hit the house during a storm in '12. They didn't remove any stumps. Some are 36" across...but most about 24". Do you think this grinder is up to the task?
I think it would work for sure just be a slow process depending on the size of the tractor. Keeping the teeth sharp though I’d imagine it would do the trick
I happy for you that these people are helping you out! (I think) Glad you got a splitter, I left a comment on Eastonmade's video that they should help out a fellow Canadian and at least give you a loner, not sure if it helped, but you have a faster splitter now. Or at least a taller one. I hope your success continues to grow with your channel. You seem like a great guy, maybe you and Dad can spend some more quality time together and your life will be easier because these companies help you out!
TIM from Canada. attention SAWING WITH Sandy.. next time you were doing your projects.. you should maybe either invest in or make yourself.. A portable table. that you could bring with you. or two sawhorses couple pieces of wood in the flat piece for your top. so you have somewhere to put all your stuff while you’re working. just a suggestion you’re outing the bush would not want you to lose anything
Thanks John. Yeah sure is a nice unit to have around my place for all the red pine stumps I've got. I always find I end up hitting them with my snowmobiles in the winter
Haha I must have just missed you at woodland mills, I was there yesterday picking up my WC88 woodchipper. I love my WG24, I've had it for about a year now. Looking forward to getting out in the woods this weekend to chip some brush. I defo bought mine in the wrong order in hindsight, but I have them both now so no tree is safe. ( sadly I run an orange mill)
Hey Keith! Great to hear you got a WC88. Those sure are nice looking chippers. I often wonder how it would perform on my size tractor compared with the WC68. Keep me posted how it goes.
Howdy Sandy. Great video as always. I have the same grinder, but it’s still in the crate in my shop. I bought it and the WC68 chipper at the same time a few weeks ago, and just got the chipper going today (first time cutting down a PTO shaft for me). Love the chipper, and the WM quality, so I’m confident that grinder will work well too. Appreciate the vid on assembly, especially adjusting the slip clutch which I’ve yet to do. I’ve probably got about half as many stumps to work on as you, but that’s still a lot. I don’t have a mill yet, but the 130Max Woodlander will probably find it’s way here in a few months. I really appreciate your videos with their upbeat and detailed tips. Keep up the great work!
Great to hear from you David and I'm happy to have ya along for the videos. Let me know if you have any questions with the wood chipper as I should have some hours on it before long. All the best
looks like a nice machine been looking at one too. I used to grind stumps working for a tree service and I would try coming at the stump more from the side not from the top the fibers will tear easier that way. so your first pass would start with the bottom of your wheel 8 to 10 inches or more depending on stump size to the side of the stump. just something to try I've never used that type of grinder so it may or may not work??
That’s a fun toy right there, that’ll come in handy in the woods for sure. Now if you could get Dewalt to sponsor you a couple 20v tools you’d be all set lol
Sandy, I have the stump grinder as. Good machine, I have done some 48" stumps of oak and it handled it quite well. Now a word of wisdom for you. In your video, you had a camera mounted under the tractor looking at the grinder. You well want to get a camera mounted in the same exact spot with a monitor in your cab. Your back and neck will thank you! The hardest part of grinding is the turning around to watch. My question to you is where did you mount your camera to? I need to move mine in the same spot because it was a perfect spot. ThankCam
I have one just like it. I have a Kubota Bx25 with 18 hp at the PTO. It works well but I go slow keep the cuts on the shallow side till I find out the stump condition.
Congrats Sandy! Very cool. Do you dig or poke for hidden rocks around the stumps before firing it up? Here, it is really common that I have rocks at and around the stump and roots at and below ground. Cheers!
I do see a lot of people running this grinder, plus the Baumalight 1p24 competitor. While looking at this objectively, I think both grinders are good fits for compact/subcompact tractors. I'd like to see them develop a grinder to compete with their 3p24 model.
Hey, Sandy! Woodland Mill must love you!! Seriously, one thing I've noticed with all your equipment - not to mention your tour of their plant - is the overall quality of their product. That stump grinder looks... ROBUST! Just one question.... WHY didn't you pull those stumps with your new excavator?!?!?! Take care, buddy.............
Hey Carl! Great to have ya checking out this new video. Since I've got so many stumps (hundreds) and my mini ex is so small I figured this would be faster than the mini excavator and also make it so I don't have to dispose of the stumps after if I were to dig them out.
Stumps are never fun to mess with, I have found I can dig them out with my frontend loader, But I still have a stump to mess with, and a hole to smooth out ,I stack them up and just let them riot.
Hey Paul! Yeah I just stuck to driving forward as there is a part of the stump grinder that will give a little if something solid is hit while moving forward but if moving backwards there isn't that feature. It's like a flip up design when driving forward.
Thanks for watching Claus. This retails for $2599 Cdn at the time of this video. Should get quite a bit of use with all the tree stumps I"ve got from the red pines.
That would be a pretty good idea Jay. I like it! I've got a backup camera already on the tractor but probably could hook up a second monitor as you mentioned
I am thinking that is your opinion if you had the same amount of land and number of stumps that needed to be removed. You are well hidden behind your alias.
Hey, Sandy, Good for you I would be saving that extra stuff too. you never know when you will find a use for it.
For sure Harvey. I find small little projects I need scraps for and that's what I use it for
I have been waiting for you to get this ever since you started on the new sawmill shed, to destroy those pesky stumps. I have to give Woodland Mills credit for a great job in crating there products for shipping. Everything they do seems to be top notch.
I hear that Wallace. Those stumps sure are getting in the way of everything. Really happy to get them taken care of now.
Now im officially jealous of your toys! Congratulations! The guy who dies with the most toys wins ! Looks like your in the lead.
hahah I think with age my body is telling me to start taking it a bit easier so the tools come in to help me with that
Christmas came early for Sandy, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!🎅🏻☮✌🏻
Really appreciate that Alan!
I don't know if you know, but The Bearded Carpenter channel gave you a shoutout and full credit on his buying of a Woodland Mills bandsaw.
Thanks for that Joe! I was just talking with him recently. Great guy and appreciated the shoutout.
Lots of new gear showing up at your place these days, Sandy. Keep it up, appreciate these assembly and first-run videos. Cheers!
Thanks for checking it out. Looking forward to getting some miles put on it
Nice new tool for the woodlot. I really like the assorted video shot of the unit in action.
Thanks Roger. Glad you're liking the variety of the camera angles
That's a nice bit of kit, Sandy. My brother has a Woodland Mills sawmill that I've seen and those guys make some good stuff!
Thanks Steve. I like running those sawmills too. Really handy to have around

Thanks for watching Deric. Great to hear from ya. I think that's a great idea with the table. I'm lucky I didn't lose anything on the ground haha.
Great shots, Sandy. I love my WM chipper and would love a stump grinder. Nicely done. -Ed
Thanks Ed appreciate that. Hope things are going well on your end.
Hey Ed, Nice to see You here LOL...
Sandy You're killing me! I'm going to go broke watching your channel. I already have a WC68, Just about to pull the trigger on a HM130MAX, now it looks like I can't live without a WG24.

Yes Sir. I could use one of those but then I'd have to get a tractor. Win/win.
hahha I like the way you think!
Thanks Sandy. Opening new Tools for Christmas. OHH YEAA.... Even comes with a Table...
Mike M.
Those tables they come with are pretty slick eh!
Great Job SWS on setting-up ur new GW24 Stump Grinder. works great..
Thanks for that Billy
The stumpgrinder was my first WM purchase. Love it. Then came the chipper. Love it too.
Now the 130max mobile. Trifecta!!! Love the way they package the equipment.
Sounds like you've got a great setup there Chuck. It's a great set of tools for any homeowners with land for sure
Hey Sandy, nice new Stump Grinder and a great Video, thx.
Thanks for that TJ. Appreciate your support on the channel
@@sawingwithsandy I will always be there for your Channel, Happy Thanksgiving.
Hello from Sainte-Rose-Du-nord, québec. Lot of snow here. Stump grinder look good!
Hey Ken! Thanks for coming along for the first setup. Hope to get this into action in Saturday's video.
Nice tool to add to your arsenal! Looking forward to seeing it in action! Congratulations 🎉
Thanks Mark. I'll have it up and going in Saturday's video
Great attachment. Definitely something you will get a lot of use out of.
Thanks Paul. Sure is a handy tool to have around
Nice! That'll be a game changer for ya.
For sure Liz. Been a long time wanting one of these units
Great investment Sandy
Thanks Brian. Should get lots of use I bet

Thanks John. Good to have ya along
Oh! The metal box might make a good fire wood bin for the cabin!!!!
That's a great idea!
There is nothing better than a stump grinder for satisfaction on my wood lot. I have a different, Canadian made, stump grinder. Fast, complete and improves esthetics of my playground. BTW I do have a WC88. Bought it after I watched your WC in action.
For sure Jerry. The stump grinder sure look like good stress relief for me haha. Great ot hear about the chipper. Those 88's are nice units
Sandy,
I have had this same stump grinder for years. It works very well.
When I assembled mine, I put the bolts for the deflector up from the bottom because I figured the dirt would damage the treads and make replacement harder.
Good to see you read the manual and adjusted your clutch. I can't say I did the same. I learned something from this video. Looks like maintenance is in order before I run mine again.
That's a great idea. I may have to look into switching mine around if I remember. Appreciate that.
Howdy Sandy- glad you got the stump grinder. I’m sure you’re going to get a lot of good use out of it. Looks like a great piece of equipment. Take care and God bless
Hey there! Thanks for checking out the setup video and thanks again for the kind words about me on your recent video
@@sawingwithsandy You’re very welcome my friend. Blessings to you all
I have a friend that I owns one of these he loves it been planning to borrow it but would like to just purchase my own would be really handy. Woodland Mills does make quality equipment with good paint and all this will last you for years great video Sandy
Thanks Jeff. I'm impressed by it so far. Looking forward to putting a good run on it with all my red pine stumps
It came with a nice table 😁
For sure!

Hey David, I think you were right. I’ll have to have another look as I think I missed that. Thanks for sharing that
Looks like it works great, nice piece to add to the collection.😊
Thanks Arnie! Looking forward to getting some miles on it for sure
“I have a good memory, but it’s short.” Haha!
hahah true story
@@sawingwithsandy That one is right up there with, “I have a lot of motivation, however I seem to have misplaced it at the moment.”
Hello Sandy. When you get around to doing a daily grind, I hope you set a goal so that you do not get tired of using the grinder. I can't imagine how many stumps you have, but I would guess it could be close to 1000+. Have good days!
That's a great point. With some many trees to grind sure can ware me out.
keep up the good work
Thanks Cecil!
We have one of those too. Very handy. Make sure your lower arms are tight, otherwise it can jerk hard to the side when you first make contact with the stump.
Great advice. Thanks Derek!
That will be great like when you built the addition for the saw mill where you put a new road or things like that you will find some used for it have a great day
For sure! Think it'll get lots of use
Thanks for sharing Sandy. I have considered this stump grinder for myself. I just may have to get one.
I'm looking forward to taking care of all the trip hazards I've got around.

Wair!! Did I just hear that right. " I've got a good memory but it's short"" lol
Stump be gone, OK don't grind on about it, Thanks Sandy good video, life is a bit of a grind at times.
hahah thanks Jim
TIM from Canada. attention SAWING WITH Sandy.. next time you were doing your projects.. you should maybe either invest in or make yourself..

Good video and job you will get better. I was going to get one but they will not work on my tractors . Take care be safe and well.

Sandy that's a great rig sure can cut the stumps up
Sure will be a great tool to take care of those hazards I've got I'm thinking
looks like a nice machine been looking at one too. I used to grind stumps working for a tree service and I would try coming at the stump more from the side not from the top the fibers will tear easier that way. so your first pass would start with the bottom of your wheel 8 to 10 inches or more depending on stump size to the side of the stump. just something to try I've never used that type of grinder so it may or may not work??
Thanks for that tip Jon. I"ll be sure to try it out. I'm brand new to this whole strump grinding bit
That’s a fun toy right there, that’ll come in handy in the woods for sure.
Now if you could get Dewalt to sponsor you a couple 20v tools you’d be all set lol
Thanks Russell. Haha my old Dewalt tools are like old friends but they sure are tired friends haha
Thanks
Appreciate your ongoing support. Helps me keep on keeping on.
Sandy, I have the stump grinder as. Good machine, I have done some 48" stumps of oak and it handled it quite well.
Now a word of wisdom for you. In your video, you had a camera mounted under the tractor looking at the grinder. You well want to get a camera mounted in the same exact spot with a monitor in your cab.
Your back and neck will thank you! The hardest part of grinding is the turning around to watch.
My question to you is where did you mount your camera to? I need to move mine in the same spot because it was a perfect spot.
ThankCam
I like that. camera idea Kim. I had the camera sitting on top of my tractor hitch
I have one just like it. I have a Kubota Bx25 with 18 hp at the PTO. It works well but I go slow keep the cuts on the shallow side till I find out the stump condition.
Great to hear it's working well for ya. I'm looking forward to getting mine up and running real soon to tackle some of those stumps I've got around
Congrats Sandy! Very cool. Do you dig or poke for hidden rocks around the stumps before firing it up? Here, it is really common that I have rocks at and around the stump and roots at and below ground. Cheers!
Great idea Gord! Iv'e never even thought about the hidden rocks. That sure wouldn't be fun to hit.
@@sawingwithsandy I think it will be an awesome tool for you there for sure! Best of luck!
I do see a lot of people running this grinder, plus the Baumalight 1p24 competitor. While looking at this objectively, I think both grinders are good fits for compact/subcompact tractors. I'd like to see them develop a grinder to compete with their 3p24 model.
Working real well so far Robert. Nice unit all around I'm finding
Hey, Sandy! Woodland Mill must love you!! Seriously, one thing I've noticed with all your equipment - not to mention your tour of their plant - is the overall quality of their product. That stump grinder looks... ROBUST! Just one question.... WHY didn't you pull those stumps with your new excavator?!?!?! Take care, buddy.............
Hey Carl! Great to have ya checking out this new video. Since I've got so many stumps (hundreds) and my mini ex is so small I figured this would be faster than the mini excavator and also make it so I don't have to dispose of the stumps after if I were to dig them out.
hope you put some Loctite on those bolts later on
Hey Casey. The nuts are nylock but loctite would be a good addition just to be sure
Hi Sandy. Another great video. Did you have to shorten the PTO shaft? Thanks.
Hi Luke, I was fortunate in this case and didn't have to shorten the PTO
Stumps are never fun to mess with, I have found I can dig them out with my frontend loader, But I still have a stump to mess with, and a hole to smooth out ,I stack them up and just let them riot.
Yeah very true John. Those stumps take eternity to burn as well I find since htey take so long to dry out
I see you grinding by moving the tractor forward over the stump but can you still grind wile backing over the stump
Hey Paul! Yeah I just stuck to driving forward as there is a part of the stump grinder that will give a little if something solid is hit while moving forward but if moving backwards there isn't that feature. It's like a flip up design when driving forward.
I thought the tube was a holder for your sludge :)
hahah It could double as that
and the price for this monster, its perhaps very effectiv, so you hope. Good luck sandy......
Thanks for watching Claus. This retails for $2599 Cdn at the time of this video. Should get quite a bit of use with all the tree stumps I"ve got from the red pines.
I want one!
Sure looks to be a handy unit
@@sawingwithsandy I will just have to get you to bring it over to my place some time.
Maybe add a cheap backup camera. Mount it low so you can see exactly what you're doing.
That would be a pretty good idea Jay. I like it! I've got a backup camera already on the tractor but probably could hook up a second monitor as you mentioned
Do you rev it to 540
Hi Colbie. I do run it at 540rpm
Grinding stumps in this circumstance is a complete waste of time
Thanks for watching. Hope your stump grinding goes well
I am thinking that is your opinion if you had the same amount of land and number of stumps that needed to be removed. You are well hidden behind your alias.
Everyone’s circumstances are different, you thinking it’s a waste of time is irrelevant. Have a good day
Ideo WAY TOO LONG! Get to the point and show progress. We don't need to see you driving down a muddy road!!! Meat and potatoes Bro!
