Went into the way back machine to check this one out again. I've used a Baumalight 1P24 the last few years in my small tractor work business, and the shaft that the wheel is mounted on snapped off a few weeks ago. Rebuilding it costs about the same as picking up a MechMaxx grinder brand new with an extra set of teeth. I went with the MechMaxx this time, so while I wait for it I'm checking out all the videos of it in use. After a couple dozen others, this one was recommended and boy Tony this is so much better than those other ones, which of course I already knew because I watched it when you made it. These seem to perform just as well. What killed the Baumalight was a combination: I wasn't strict enough cutting between 6-9:00 as you stand behind the tractor and look forward. That doesn't keep the cutting force pushing down and lets it bounce, jerk, and snag. I also intentionally left the pin in a lot because I liked the better control, but I think that contributed. Then, after upgrading from the 1025r to the 3515ch to run it on after I had to rebuild the PTO system in the transaxle of the 1025r, I needed a longer shaft again so I tried the Vevor shaft, and a couple hours into using that it snapped the shaft on the grinder. I think I had abused it enough to weaken it, then that shaft probably had some wobble the more expensive shaft didn't which finished it off. Lessons to share with people. Thanks again!
Hi Tony and Tanja the camera guru, another Tony's Tractor Adventure interesting video to me the uninitiated, LoL. I also follow, Lets Dig 18, and Diesel Creek, Andrew Camarata, Jesse Muller, Mustie and a few others there in the States. I have great admiration for our American Military brothers and sisters, who played a huge part in saving my country from invasion during the WW2 Pacific war. Had the USA not come into the conflict when they did, i might well not be here now writing this comment to you Tony and Tanja. I was born May 30, 1940, my siblings, before and after me, we were a big family living at Westport, New Zealand. As you know Tony, i served in the NZ Army Infantry Battalion, early 60s, Malaya, (2 years posting) thought we were going to be shoved into Nam early on, but it didn't happen. I lost mates in Nam later. God bless the Fallen. Lina and i send our Christmas Greetings to you Tony and Tanja, on the Anniversary of the Birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. God Bless the United States of America, always, and God Bless the Citizens of the country i love, New Zealand. Everyone included, no exceptions. Bob and Lina Wilson.
Thank you for your service. I admire anyone who serves a greater good. We need more people to serve than ever, but so few will serve anymore. God Bless, and Merry Christmas.
I’m a new tractor owner and have a new TYM T25 and would like to see a video on setting up this stump grinder from attaching the unit to the quick attach, then the PTO, then adjustments etc. Thanks for your efforts!
Another good job Tony. I like the type of stump grinder that your using instead of the one's that swing back and forth they seem to better and doesn't bounce around. MC.
This is a great training video! I'm planning to buy either this unit or a Woodland Mills grinder in the spring, so I've been watching a bunch of videos of the grinders in action. This is by far the best!! Thank you!
They are designed to cut going forward only. The cutting teeth are on the tractor side of the disc. Digging it in while in reverse will only wear down the nuts holding the tooth on. Glad to see that 18 pto horsepower can operate it.
I understand the cutting direction. It's fairly obvious, but it's different when you're sitting in the seat. Still, I have dragged the nuts on the back side many times and they still look to be in good shape. We are blessed in the fact that we don't have rocks.
An I wish you and your family a very happy Christmas and a happy New Year to you all god bless your home at this great time love from us all here in England Great Britain hope you have a great day from Joe and my family x
I remember when you first started using the grinder. Lots of hopping and jumping as I recall. Nonetheless It seems you’ve got the technique dialed in now. I have 25 hp tractor to and as long as you take your time, make smaller movements, the 25 can handle almost any job many would assume a larger tractor is needed. Cheers
im going to buy my parents a small tractor. they dont need something like the T474. The T25 seems to be very versatile and strong enough for their needs.
Thank you Chief, Tanja, and Gizmo. I have the grinder now and the RK25 is in the supply chain somewhere??? Since I can’t possibly use it until May I assume all delivered units are to folks that can actually use them. Got to hope, a belated Christmas gift to myself. Tony I had asked you about the PTO adapter last week, your thoughts again please. Merry Christmas to your family. If you can’t take your weather come to SWFL for a few days/week. Bored stiff here. Stan
Thanks for posting folks. Tight check chains, small tyres and a good slip clutch, good setup. Is there any regular cutter maintenance/replacement needed on this piece of kit?
Thanks again Tony! It looks like tightening the shackles really made a huge difference. I think I will be oredering one in the spring. Baumalight is saying something about maybe needing an extension kit; did you need one for the 25?
Can I wish you and your family a happy Christmas from Scotland, I don’t know if you’ve tried to it from left to right it would put far lest pressure on the PTO,
@@TonysTractorAdventure ok but I heard it when yah back up look at yah video , not being smart about it just watched others that have the teeth issues and it seems to happen when they hit the stump in reverse ok have a good evening

T25. Great tractor
I sure do like the T25.
Very nice, Tony. That’s the same PTO HP as my Kubota B2601. Looks as therapeutic as running my wood chipper. 👍
As always, great camera work Tanja!
There is something cool about grinding a stump up.
Merry Christmas Tony and Tanya, Gismo and Fans!!!
Merry Christmas, Stan
That grinder / tractor combo is awesome. Made short work of the stumps.
I am happy with it
I'll always like that attachment! 👍 Thanks for sharing, Tony 😎🪵🪵🪵
Yes sir. I love using it. Satisfying.
Need one of those.
Yes Sir

Thank you for the idea. We put out videos months in advance, but I will get to it this summer. Tony
Another good job Tony. I like the type of stump grinder that your using instead of the one's that swing back and forth they seem to better and doesn't bounce around. MC.
I think the one that swings has its purpose but I am happy with this.

Glad it was helpful!
Great job Tony we learn as we grow with knowledge great video thanks Tony and Tanya
Thank you, Gary. Merry Christmas
Tony that grinder sure does a good job,great video!👍🏻
Yes they do
One of the better videos on this tool. Thanks!!

Hello from Alabama my friend love the video have been thinking about buying one of these
We are clearing several building sights, so it has paid for itself over and over.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from St Johns Arizona ❤️🐻
Merry Christmas and God Bless
Great job!!! 😊❤
Stay warm
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
good job, Merry Christmas🌲🌲
Merry Christmas, my friend
That's a pretty good job
Agreed. It is fun too.
im going to buy my parents a small tractor. they dont need something like the T474. The T25 seems to be very versatile and strong enough for their needs.
There are things the T25 can't do, but I use it more than my big tractor. It is very versatile.
I need a stump grinder 😊
Yes sir
You should sell those wood chipper it seems to work great.
I sell them to me! 😁👍

I need to cut all my shafts to use my adapter. It makes it so much better.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Do you still favor that brand over some of the more advertised options? Multiple male adapters recommended?? Thanks Check.
I do favor it. It is so simple.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Thanks. Not sure how many male adapters I truly need. Several to make it easy for multiple pieces of equipment.
Thanks for posting folks. Tight check chains, small tyres and a good slip clutch, good setup. Is there any regular cutter maintenance/replacement needed on this piece of kit?
I bought extra cutters, but to this point, I have never used any. Greasing is the only thing I have done.
Thanks again Tony! It looks like tightening the shackles really made a huge difference.
I think I will be oredering one in the spring. Baumalight is saying something about maybe needing an extension kit; did you need one for the 25?
I didn't need an extension kit. This is an older version though.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Thanks
Can I wish you and your family a happy Christmas from Scotland, I don’t know if you’ve tried to it from left to right it would put far lest pressure on the PTO,
Merry Christmas. I have tried it every way.
I would like one of those for my 50hp John Deere 1630 … hopefully my tractor has enough power
Stump grinders like these are only recommended for HST tractors.
Is this something u made are bought??
We bought this, but it is not sold in the US any longer. We put a link in the description of the video to a new version.
I've seen you test out two flail mower/mulchers, which is your favorite to use?
Each has their own place
@@TonysTractorAdventure thanks
What stump grinder attachment are you using
I use a Baumalight
How do you learn how to do it🙄
Just like walking.

like it but your not supposed to cut on your way back it actually loosens the teeth doing that ,
I don't think I cut on the way back.
@@TonysTractorAdventure ok but I heard it when yah back up look at yah video , not being smart about it just watched others that have the teeth issues and it seems to happen when they hit the stump in reverse ok have a good evening
