Can a John Deere Garden Tractor Run a Stump Grinder??

- So I thought that if a 1 series tractor could stump grind, why not a premium Garden Tractor right. These two, the 445 and X585, were the test mules and they "muled" great. Good performance but there may be some drawbacks.

Also the H-3 kit for the X series is available here. www.auxhyd.com/
That was some really experienced stump grinding on that first stump! I was actually pretty impressed with how well the "limited" cat 1 hitches did with the stump grinder in general.
That was a really fun time!
Definitely should make an effort to get together more often. I enjoyed it immensely and always like when I can get some help with chores around the house!
@@MrThomasfouraker Sounds good, next time, it's my house👍👍😜
Yes that first, Luke I think his name was, he was Mr. Slow and Steady
That was a pretty interesting video. I'm kinda surprised, but it looks like the garden tractors handled it without any significant problems. Wish my 430 was designed with a 540 pto.
Yeah, we were surprised at the ability of it to stay planted. I never thought they didn't have the power, but being lighter could have been an issue and it wasn't. Having said that, the lift "range" of the 3 point hitch could be an issue, but not one that couldn't be mitigated. Thanks for watching.
I wanted to check out Luke's John Deere garage but there was no link in the description...
Actually if I hadn't been there the other day, I would be glad to learn from this video that a garden tractor is plenty capable because I had been wondering myself for a while. I think it should be quite helpful to others!
I know, I know, I forget the links initially but had them in shortly after lunch. I'm sorry we were wheeling today down at Hardrock with the Jax Bronco Club. Thanks for watching Timothy.
As a tractor stump grinder myself, I really enjoyed your video! Seems like you hang around with a pretty fun group of friends!
Haha, we do get together from time to time. Those guys are always trading old tractor parts, sometime I've involved, sometimes I just show up with popcorn and watch the entertainment, the back and forth between the other three.😂. How has business been treating you? I love the 2038R, that is such a nice ride. Luke has his eye on a 3038E, I keep telling him to go 2R or 3R, but they are pricey, but still very nice. Thanks for watching.
@@FloridaDeere I can't afford no 3038E!
Excellent video, thank you very much.

Thanks Art. I hope you found it informative as well. Thanks for watching.
@@FloridaDeere Yes, it was very informative. That would be applicable to my 318. I also have a 140 H1, a 110 round fender and a 212 with hydraulics. So your channel is of great interest to me.

PS; Of course there is that yellow one in the corner too.
I feel your pain with the PTO reverse lockout ,especially when using implements. I have an x595 and a 758. Got the 758 used and it doesn't shut off the PTO in reverse and the reverse lights dont stay on so I'm assuming Deere dropped the feature rather than it being bypassed. Makes it so much nicer to operate
Yeah, I am usually using my 1023E for that kind of work, which allows reverse when operating the rear PTO, but I still have to use the button when I'm mowing, because the mid-PTO still has the safety switch. Thanks for watching.
The beauty of these x series is I have yards I mow that are hilly these kick butt at, also these fit into places really nice. I had the 1025r but too too heavy in my hilly areas unfortunately! But really surprised how well it did with grinder
Yep, the Super GT's do seem a bit more planted than the 1 series for sure. And I was surprised too, at how well the GT's handled the stump grinder. Thanks for watching.
got a 445 and a few acres that have been fallow and allowed to grow trees for 30+ years. And now I have grinder envy.
Haha, it is a great attachment to have and you can certainly make some extra dough to pay for it plus the hidden savings of not hiring someone else to do ork at your house. I highly recommend one if you hav e a 3 point and rear PTO that can turn it. Thanks for watching Mark.
@@FloridaDeere would save me a lot of money over the cost of paying someone else to do it!
@@markbjorge2065 I have easily made lots of cash and saved my own money versus paying someone for my property. Even today, I made $200 in 2.5 hours and that's for neighbors on the cheap. Regular pricing would have been closer to $350-400 for the same work for a stranger.
@@FloridaDeere I can easily see that. A chainsaw and our front end loader + this could handle a lot of jobs. Even getting someone out to remove trees where I live is $850+. Being able to grind the stump after would be amazing.
I noticed the x585 has an H3 kit installed. How did that work? (Shameless plug) 😀
Well enough to make me want one!
You did a really nice job on that kit. The control is super precise.
What I like best about it is how smooth that spool operates. You can feather it unlike the oem valve. It really helps with fine implement control. Intuitive placement and comfortable design. If anyone sat and used one they find the money to buy one.
Ron, I meant for Thomas and I to get some video focused specifically on that and we will, but Thomas invited the whole herd over, so we were all over the place with projects and piecemealing that 3 point hitch of his together. That H-3 valve video needs to be coming soon. As Thomas mentioned, sit on one and use it and you won't want to not have it again and again. Kind of like my hydraulic top link😉. Thanks for watching.
@FloridaDeere I think the stump grinder was a much larger question that needed to be covered though.
I wish you would let us know the weight and horsepower of tractors. Thanks
Jeff, I can certainly do that, but you can also use Tractordata.com. Their material is usually pretty accurate and reach out to me anytime on email or phone or text, just hit the "more" button right under the channel name and that info will pop up. If you have any specific tractors, let me know. Like did you want to know about the ones in this video? Thanks for watching.
What’s the purpose of the high posts on the 45 loader?
ROPS (Roll over protection system.) A load in the bucket can make the tractor tippy... it's supposed to keep the tractor from rolling on top of the operator if that were to happen.
@@LukesJohnDeereGarage oh ok. I know about ROPS, just never seen them done that way.
From what I have heard ,, the tall posts on the rear loader uprights were John Deere's attempt to create a make shift ROPS to appease OSHA . Deere didn't come out on top and that is why you can't buy a John Deere loader for a garden tractor . Thank You OSHA ! If anyone has better or different information I'm all ears !
@@tomsutton6509 Tom, I think you are partially or completely right. It either dealt with the ROPS directly or was related to weight and maybe Deere didn't want to deal with it. What's funny is you can get a CTC loader without any ROPS all day long for any of these current or older GT's. Thanks for watching Tom.
They are great for mounting lights high which of course provides great illumination for whatever work you are doing, but, of course, it was as a makeshift ROPS system, not to mount lights. Thanks for watching.
Will the stump grinder fit on a 425? Thanks
Yes, it will, but the range of travel will be more limited and you would have to cut down any PTO shaft you would come across because the connection point between the tractor and grinder would be so close. We got lazy and also Thomas wasn't sure which tractor he was going to run it on at the time, so we were leary about cutting too short. Thanks for watching.
@@FloridaDeere thank you. I enjoy your videos.
