Just rented one of these last weekend. Did 20 stumps in two days around the place, even with the dull teeth from the rental. 10 hours total. This is a monster stump. The Toro is the wrong grinder for this job, in my opinion, but you go with what you have. A Carlton Hurricane would make quick work of this stump.
I rented one of these Toros to remove some stumps at my property. The more powerful model as well according to the rental company. After using it for an hour I decided to get a guy to come out an do this professionally. The machine stalled to easy and took forever. This works well on smaller stumps like bushes and stuff but for a real tree stump, it cant handle it. The machine in this video seems to be working a little better than the one I rented as well. Maybe it was operator erroror the rental company not sharpening the teeth properly but it wound up being cheaper to have it done than to pay for an extra day of rent on the machine which would have been needed if I had done everything myself.
The grinder is fine. 25hp is plenty. The problem is he's trying to cut to much at a time. Either take smaller bites or slow your sweep speed down. Of course this video is 3 years old so maybe he's a lot better now.
I just bought a toro stx. if your looking to grind stumps quickly, this piece of equipment is NOT for you. It bogs down no matter how little surface area you try to grind.
Don't get this. You use the chainsaw down to ground level if you can, at which they are of no use beyond, and then you use the grinder on the stump and roots.
Anyone have any feedback regarding how many people have these (Toro STX26) for sale with less than 100 hours. Is anyone aware of any problems with these and any reason you wouldn't buy one?
Poor guy, I used a Sunbelt with the same set up for a week when my carton was down. The control interface sucks and it doesn't have enough horse power.
Rookie. Get a longer bar, sharpen chain and keep a straight line. Re: Questions Everything. Girl, you always this sensitive? O' one more thing put the bowl of stupid down. I can grind 200 stumps a day if small enough. Law'd child
doing big things with small equipment. bravo gentlemen. slow and steady win the race.

Like a stump massage
What did you charge for that stump? I think $2,500 would be reasonable.

Stx38 heaps better but they should make 44 Kubota diesal model 830mm wide to good
Either buy a bigger grinder or just call someone with one and pay them, you'll get the job done much faster!
He doesn't know,how to feed the grinder,,going too fast too deep
The TORO seems to be under powered ?
