Running an 2021 sg40 and 2023 Kubota scl 1000 mini skid on a 6x12 dump trailer. Both fit perfectly at the same time. Some extra tie down points would be great
thanks for doing this vid im moving from tree work to stump grinding. i just bought a sg40 its been good so far. just want that remote at some point. i am with you on the new river by far the best. i will always buy USA maid. good luck on your big job next week. i have 40 of 58 left to do for a city contract. stay safe.
I was thinking the tracks would be less ground pressure that the tires for rutting up a yard, what are your thoughts on this? Im also looking at a barretto 37sg for a first machine and then work my way up to a higher hp machine if the buisness takes off
@@motohobo8826 tracks tear grass. Even the slicks. Tires roll across it. I would absolutely prefer tires for hills, beautiful lawns, really rocky areas, etc. If I lived in the south and worked in swamps I would think tracks make more sense. Everywhere else I feel tracks are the wrong choice
@@ByeStump I had them retip Greenteeth and Rayco super teeth. Maybe the revolution cutter wheel teeth don't take new tips well. Maybe Wit-Son has changed their retipping process, I just started getting my teeth retipped two years ago.
Yup, upon request. If it’s a 5’ stump or less I can usually fit it in my pickup bed. I unload with a LoadHandler. Actually just posted a video now using it. Anything larger I add a roll off to my quote or hire a dump trailer service to meet me at the job site.
I’ve tried most of the wheels out there and New River is hands down my favorite. It’s the easiest to own and maintain. You don’t need a bunch of extra parts. It doesn’t throw mulch everywhere. The machine doesn’t bounce around so it’s better for the machine long term. The company is made up of some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I absolutely recommend New River. Brad Stanton is the sales rep. His direct line is (412) 979-2236. He’s in Ohio so make sure to call during business hours.
I do get locates for every job. Pretty non negotiable on that. I started with a $1000 used Bluebird handlebar grinder. Ran it til I could buy a used RG25 handlebar machine. Then maxed out my credit and got a loan for the rest for a $16,000 used 352 I ran for 5 years. Then bought my first new machine a 372. Then sold the business and signed a 2 year non compete and moved out of state. 2 years and 3 days later, I got a random call for about 12,000 stumps. Won that job and it turned into Superior Stump Removal. I don’t drink or do drugs. I work an insane amount of hours to continue growing. I communicate and treat everyone with respect. I don’t waste money and buy as smart as I can. It’s been 13 years of stump hustle! There’s a podcast I did that covers some more. It’s episode 24 on The Devin Dyer show
@@ByeStump Wow. Awesome story. Thanks for the detailed reply. Goes to show nothing happens by accident and you earned everything you have. i'm going to be starting my stump grinding journey real soon here in California so It's cool to see how everything is working out for you. I hope your business continues to keep growing strong man .Also, I'm going to have to check out that interview soon.Thanks again & Much respect.
I did try. About 600 teeth over 7 months. They cut great for 5 minutes and then fell flat on their face. They were definitely not worth the money savings. I happily buy new teeth from New River and won’t try that again
🔥🔥 Thanks boss. I always thought track was better too but you're saying otherwise. I'll take it from the pro. My only thing is you don't ever slide when on a steep hill ? Also so would you recommend someone getting their first grinder with wheels and not tracks. ? Because i was planning on getting the sg40 but now you got me double thinking.
Tracks slide more in my experience. The 852 goes where the sg40 can’t on clay. Vermeer 4x4 is the only tire machine I would consider. The other company’s machines can’t even climb a chip pile with 4x4. My Vermeer machines with 4x4 go where I can’t even walk
I have the Baretto 37-SG - it bogs some turning in deep chips, other than that, so far it’ll climb anything and is 35” wide. Bobcat MT100 on order…They say July🤞🏻
@@stump-bossBIll Ive used those ones plenty of times. That's a good machine. I know what you mean though if you go too deep it bogs down but it's still solid.
Totally agree. It’s mostly people who have no idea fighting over it. I tried both. Tracks have a place. Just not where I work for any every day machine
@@ant5094 yeah not too bad. Use the boom to lift 1 side, 3 bolts, tire off, boom down and do other side. 2 minutes to take them off. 3 minutes to put them back on

Great video Jeff thanks for the tour.👍🏻
No problem!
Love the setup. How big is the shop?
@@Tcw2019 thank you! 60’x40’
You can get your old teeth retipped. I use Wit-Son quality tool. The retips from them hold up as well as new teeth in my experience.
That’s who I tried. I don’t think their retips are 10% as good as OEM
@@ByeStump I had them retip Greenteeth and Rayco super teeth. Maybe the revolution cutter wheel teeth don't take new tips well. Maybe Wit-Son has changed their retipping process, I just started getting my teeth retipped two years ago.
Do you remove the chips if the customer requests it? If so, how do you haul them?
Yup, upon request. If it’s a 5’ stump or less I can usually fit it in my pickup bed. I unload with a LoadHandler. Actually just posted a video now using it. Anything larger I add a roll off to my quote or hire a dump trailer service to meet me at the job site.
@@ByeStump Thank you.
@@HAUSS81 you’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
How many hours do you have on your sg-13?
Looking at buying one that 1800 and has 118 hours on it 2020
@@harleyhealy3449 it’s around 100-130 hours. I think it’s a 2015. I got it for $900 from Home Depot rentals used tool sales
I have the 852 with the cumins Eng about to change cutter wheel so you like the new river rev what was the cost of that wheel

Do you locate utilities for every single stump you grind ? Also how were you able to initialy fund your business when you first got in ?
I do get locates for every job. Pretty non negotiable on that. I started with a $1000 used Bluebird handlebar grinder. Ran it til I could buy a used RG25 handlebar machine.

@@ant5094 no problem and thank you for the kind words
Jeff have you tried re-tiping the teeth? I have had pretty good experience with having my greenteeth done.
I did try. About 600 teeth over 7 months. They cut great for 5 minutes and then fell flat on their face. They were definitely not worth the money savings. I happily buy new teeth from New River and won’t try that again

I love 4x4 units ,tracks on sg40 only
Totally agree. It’s mostly people who have no idea fighting over it. I tried both. Tracks have a place. Just not where I work for any every day machine
Cool video, do you need a CDL for all that?
I do. I have a class a combination endorsement for this truck and trailer
Youre bigger machine fits through most standard gates no problem?
It’s 56” with the outside wheels on, 35.5” with them off. 36” flat gate is no problem
So you just take the outside wheels off when going through a side gate ? Are they Easy to remove and install?
@@ant5094 yeah not too bad. Use the boom to lift 1 side, 3 bolts, tire off, boom down and do other side. 2 minutes to take them off. 3 minutes to put them back on
@@ByeStump nice. Easy and efficient
