Gordon, just to say I enjoy your videos and your open and sincere delivery. Please keep these videos coming, I learn a lot from you! Cheers, from California, land of the Bolsheviks.
Hi sir, just wondering you don't use the gage tool to set the teeth. This is a must to cut stump. Each pocket gage the teeth .I've been doing tree and stump removal for 35 years her in Michigan. Call your dealer ask them there tell you about using the gage tool. Look in the manual it will show you the Correct way to put your teeth back in the pocket. The tooth will be in or out on each side of the pocket. Meaning one tooth will be out or in further then the other side. One will be a 2 on gauge other tooth a 3 or whatever that calls for. the start point on the wheel there be a no.2 stamped in the wheel That's your starting pockets to start from as you rotate the wheel. When you have the teeth in the pockets at what it calls for you will see a huge difference in grinding the stump and on your motor . when you make a sweep the wood flying off the stump because of the gage. Then your far back pockets teeth will cut more of the stump I hope this helps you and the teeth should slide in the pockets With ease. Sometimes a little harder when they been in a lot longer and you just tap them . Then tighten pocket but take out one set of teeth so you remember what no. Pocket and what teeth it is and if it's the right tooth in that pocket. It is a pain in as to always have to gage each pocket with the standard stump teeth. Only those have to be gagged when putting them back in pocket. You will see that you don't even have to take the whole pockets off when you loosen the hexagon 1/2 bolts enough the teeth slide out and after sharpening or just replacing with a new tooth. Tooth will slide back in pocket use gage tool tighten your on to the next pocket. There are many upgrades in teeth but you have to change to that pocket for those teeth. On my Vermeer Self propelled I changed it over to yellow jackets teeth there's no gaging. faster to change out for new teeth or twist for sharp side. Three sides to these teeth. The cost To change over was $500- $600 for the new pockets and then the $$ for Yellow Jacket teeth. It was.the best thing I did on that Machine On my Rayco1635a it still has standard teeth on it because of the kind of ground conditions here where I live lots of big rocks and other things in and around the stump. We go from farming area to citywide and still amazing to hit the things that the tree grew around or be right in the middle of stump. But I'm at the point were my body is worn out from the tree service work and both Shoulders Rotator Cuffs shot from all the overhead cutting of limbs in the bucket truck. Herniated disk, rupture disk. But I have to say I have loved every bit of providing a service to our community for 35 years. I have met some wonderful people over the years. My customers are the best.
that harbor freight breaker bar looks remarkably similar to my snap-on breaker bars. they sure are not similar in price. we could probably buy ten of the harbor freight ones for the cost of the snap-on. the harbor freight probably does everything you need.
You still need to watch what you buy at HF, but the quality is coming up on a lot of their tools, every time I catch a good one at HF, I'll show it in use in a video. I don't pull any punches, I tell it like it is and I am well acquainted with tools.
Hello Gordon, can you please tell me the name of the grinding wheel? Also specification of it, since im from Serbia i have to try and find out a similar one. Great job and keep grinding these kinds of videos. Cheers

Gordon, can you tell me how many gallons of oil per minute your skidloader puts out? I'm considering putting a SG60 on my S850 with 23 gpm. Anyone's experience would be appreciated.
Yeah I know it is, I forgot to mention that, unfortunately, so is life in general, that's one of the main reasons I quit welding and body work (except my own stuff at home)
awesome video. Just got this SG60 stump grinder. this video was very helpful. thank you so much!
Glad it helped!

Need to wear a mask or have a fan blowing the dust away. (very dangerous dust)

I don’t know for sure but it’s about what yours is, it’s an ‘04 T300 standard flow. You can look it up on Bobcat website or Google t300 specs
Can you buy raw carbides and braze em on your self?
I don't know.
What kind of camera do you have
Sony HDR-CX405 and Ivue video glasses
Gord, please wear a mask when grinding that shit, that stuff is very bad for the lungs!
Yeah I know it is, I forgot to mention that, unfortunately, so is life in general, that's one of the main reasons I quit welding and body work (except my own stuff at home)
