Power King stump grinder review and on-machine bit sharpening after 6 years ownership.

- YES, you can sharpen the bits that came on your Power King stump grinder and you can do it ON the machine in only a few minutes. It usually only takes me 20 to 30 minutes to sharpen all 9 bits. It's a piece of cake---see the video. I also review this machine because I had a failure shortly after buying it. I illustrate and explain that failure and my experience with QVTools customer service dept. @ JS Project Wild

I was sure that there was something hard enough that was easily available to sharpen these teeth. It seems that most people just do what they're told instead of thinking. Thanks for posting!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Awesome video dispelling the rumor the teeth can't be sharpened! Looking forward to viewing the Harley videos too!
Yeah, I hope more folks find that out before spending big bucks on replacement teeth. Thanks for watching and commenting. And thanks for subscribing!!! ✌️👍👍👍
Thank you so much, information has been very very helpful to us thank you.
You are so welcome! And thanks for visiting my channel and commenting!
Tha is for the Video. I run a tree removal company and have the TMG version of this machine. It came with the Loncin engine which blew its piston rings and I have replaced with a 9HP Honda engine which has been great. Also had to replace the clutch. I have 3 year years and probably 100-150 stumps into the machine and some really big ones. All in all not a bad machine
Agreed, a decent machine for the money. That Honda should make a great upgrade for you. Thanks for commenting!
I am glad I saw this video very helpful now I know how to sharpen my grinder teeth!!
Yep, easy peasy. Thanks for watching Adam!!! 👍
Great video, very helpful. Have a lot of little stumps as I clear my land. This really helps my buying decision.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
I have a different version of the power king, but very similar. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching and commenting Robert!
Thanks for sharing 👍🏽 😊
You're welcome and thanks for watching!!!
I just got this cheaper at Lowes, HD was more expensive. Grinding on a giant Hackberry stump, and my teeth already dulled after taking out the roots (and a lil bit of concrete drive way the roots were going over). I have an extra set of teeth but I want to sharpen the ones that are on it. I didn't even use the brake. But it runs great, and its fairly quiet. Well after your review, maybe I need to inspect them to see if I broke some.
Any contact with rocks or concrete will destroy the bits, either dull them or break them almost instantly---ask me how I know 😬. Thanks for watching and commenting! I believe you'll enjoy the results from your new investment.
@@JSProjectWild I went to walmart and bought a hand grinder and concrete wheel, now I need time to do it

Great video. Thank you for posting this. This model just went on sale at Home Depot & I was kind of on the fence about it. After watching your video, seeing that you're a knowledgeable & that you have great taste in welders, I have decided to go ahead w/ the purchase.
You are welcome! I've been using the grinder on and off as weather permitted this winter and still no issues. Grease the bearings on the cutter wheel before you use it 😉.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!!! 🦾
@@JSProjectWild Great advice! I'll keep you posted on how it works out for me.
@@chopperinmylivingroom2335were you able to use it yet? I’m thinking of buying tomorrow!
@@radioguy801 Yes I have! Lost track of how many stumps I've done so far...guessing 20ish. It's done pine & red oak that were cut down a year or 2 ago. I've been very impressed w/ it.
@@chopperinmylivingroom2335 thanks for the reply brother! I’m gonna go ahead get one myself now!
Great vid
Thank you Lester!
Great video man! 150 plus stumps on a $2K less tool. Paid for itself. Do a neighbors or three and pays for itself! So you said you didnt need to file that side because it doesnt touch anything, so that makes me think, and if you said it sorry, but can you take the cutter off and flip it TO use the side you said didnt need filing give it even wear or its to much of a pain, period? even if every 25/50 hours.Thanks!
3 teeth for right, 3 for center and 3 for left and the bits are welded to the holders so cannot flip. Even if they could be flipped it's much faster just to sharpen rather than to unbolt. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!!! 🦾
I've watched several of your videos and want to say thank you for the valuable content! I just picked up a used Husqvarna sg13 and was curious if you could make a video about general maintenance such as oil change & what kind of oil to use? The cable attaching the lever on the control panel to activate the grinder wheel is also detached on mine so I have to manually activate near the choke lever so I gotta fix that as well. I'm admittedly far from handy lol
Thank you! I use Rotella T6 oil in most everything I own from my Cummins to my Goldwing and in between. That SG13 was supposed to be a great machine but I see that a lot of the parts have been "discontinued". Appreciate you taking the time to comment!!!
Really cool. Thanks for sharing. We're just about to start using ours today and I was curious about sharpening the teeth. I couldn't tell from the video though, what angles your using while sharpening. If you could share a little more knowledge on that detail it would be hugely appreciated. Oh, one other thing, how do you drain the oil without making a mess? I'm thinking about adding a small valve and tubing to get it over to one side and down to a drain pan. I'd really like to hear your thoughts on that and how you handle it.
I made a better video of sharpening the teeth, here's the link---ua-cam.com/video/UgSDIY97zp4/v-deo.html
BTW I have published 5 videos total on the stump grinder, check them out.
No more often than I have to change the oil I just make a mess, lol.
Thanks much for watching and commenting!
Thanks man. I’m gonna sharpen the teeth tomorrow 👍
You're welcome and thank you for watching and commenting!
Can you adopt me so I can inherit all your amazing tools?
🤣Quite possibly I could if you would take over all my chores and projects. 😁
Thanks for watching!!!

how do you feel about protection plans on these machines? should I get it or not?
I've always been handy repairing stuff so I never buy service contracts or protection plans. Thanks for watching!!!
Where can get it
Just do a search. Thanks for watching.
excellent info!!!!
Greatly appreciated and thanks to you for watching and commenting!!!
I would like to get the overall length of this grinder..or anyone Herr that has a stump grinder..I'm building one.
Overall width is 760 mm as stated in the owners manual and length is not listed. Machine is too far away from me to measure right now. Also, the overall length would vary depending on how the handle is adjusted. Thanks for watching!
