- Larry needed several very large black locust stumps ground. Tractor Time with Tim takes the Deere 1025R and the Ventrac with stump grinders. We were not sure if these compact tractor stump grinders would be able to grind these tree stumps. Larry uses Vinny while Tim uses Johnny with the Baumalight stump grinder to get the job done.

I appreciate the honesty of this channel and that you shared your mistake with the audience. I don't have much need for a stump grinder presently, but at first I was sure that if I wanted one, the BaumaLight was definitely not the one I would choose. Then you tightened up the lift arms and it looked a whole lot better. Vinny is a great machine, but for the price, the BaumaLight attachment looks pretty good.
Hi Tim
I started thinking about getting a stump grinder again.
I looked at the Baumalight and its now $3,600
I kept looking and found the Woodland Mills is still $2,399
So I looked up other implements I have bought a couple years ago and ended up with serious sticker shock
The 5 foot Rototiller from Tractor Supply is now DOUBLE what I paid and the 5 foot Scraper is $500 more
I deliberated on buying the Woodland Mills for over a week
Well I didn't want to wait for them to raise their prices so I ordered the Stump Grinder and the 6 inch PTO Chipper
I hope My Wife remembers Me saying I was going to buy them because it's too late now
Thanks for all Your Videos
I finally figured out how to get that TH-cam APP on Our 65 inch TV and You are now a TV star
Much better that the MAC monitor
Ken in Florida
I just asked if you had made this comparison on another video and here it is!
Best camera quality and editing on TH-cam.
they did a great job! last time we had some big stumps (like 10-15 of them) we had a 20 ton excavator over to fill in our pond, so we luckily got rid of them quickly and they were put deep into the ground. We made the land back into pasture to mow for our horses. Just like it was 15 years ago. Take care!
Don't see enough of the camera operator. It is always nice to hear from Christy. Martha and Mary antics are fun too. Always a fun video. Thanks and take care all
Great video! I love your channel for the honest reviews, and mistakes. Everyone makes them, you just tell us so when it happens to us at home we can think.. this happened to Tim too. Then we know what to fix, tighten up or replace.
everytime i see those ventracs, i'm impressed. thanks for sharing the video.
Viny looked so much more comfortable to use and you don't have to look over your shoulder, If I was younger, a Viny would be parked in my pole barn. Great job Tim and Christy, you take the guesswork out of small tractor equipments, thank you both. 👍🙋♂️
Great job guys I hope you are all well and stay well
Be safe out there
Hi Tim,
I think you're having too much fun!
For Vinny, I think a steering wheel spinner is in order. Especially for grinding stumps!
Got a spinner knob around here. Need to get it mounted
Hi Tim and Christy nice video Larry done a good jub for the first time on Vinny stay safe the best of luck
This makes the daily grind interesting
hi Tim great video thinking about getting one for my 1025r . look on amazon u can pick up a camera and monitor for around 70.00 bucks . mount the camera down by pto and the monitor on the fender or dash that way u don't have to turn around and u can save on chiropractor bills great tractor have fun be careful and God bless
Good to see Vinny out and working.
Another great video Tim love scripture at the end of your video God bless you and your family
They did very well grinding those stumps.
Great point I hadn't considered w/a gear drive & that type stump grinder. I'm the odd one that thinks I want a gear drive (B2401) and if so will have to get a swing type stump grinder as I'd also like to be able to offer that add-on service (& have a few of my own to grind).
Wow that's awesome Tim 🇺🇸🚜 🚜
I think that is funny Tim I was just looking on line this morning to see what was out there for stump grinder for a JD tractor. Then your video popped up. Enjoy your videos keep them coming 👍
Nice video tim and big job for vinny and johnny 💪💪
You should do a tour of your shed and all of Johnny’s equipment
Also I hope you never change the opening song there to you in the ending song to your videos it is absolutely country friendly God bless
I want to see the 2038r run that stump grinder!
Tim and Lary you make a perfect point those grinder are attachments not stand alone the only people who say to small don't own anything
God Bless All
PaK
that tractor taking a serious beating, wonder how long before gearbox is shot.Tim would you prefer a ginder thats not tractor pto direct driver? seems like wear and tear is greatly increased on tractor to grind on stumps
Did you notice you had to take a smaller bite on the Black Locust? Did you ever grind Cedar, they grind different as well.
I have a Woodland Mills unit only because I already had their chipper on my 30hp Kioti HST. One of the advantages of the tractor mounted grinders is the frt loader to deal with the grindings left and you don`t have a truck to back thru the yard. Both huge problems
Good points!!
I have the exact same setup and also we don't tear up ground like the lull behind grinders do backing a PU truck into the yard. Also a small tractor can get into tight areas a PU truck and pull behind grinder don't have a chance of getting into.
When it comes to the camera system I use a cheap car reversing camera and TFT screen, my screen is 7" but you can get larger screens.There is no record function but it has no delay in what you are watching. ;-)
I guess if u already have a tractor.. but as far as stump grinders go, it sucks. The large locust is about a 3 minute stump with a Carlton 7500. Those are toys.
A couple of months ago, I wouldn't have believed this apartment dweller on the other side of the country would be watching stump grinding. But, here I am. Looks like that Ventrac would benefit from a spinner knob for that steering wheel. Would probably make the grinding task a bit easier.
Welcome!
Great video Tim and Christy. Hope all is well. Jdmich
Another great video, thanks Tim. Was just wondering about the radio tower lot job, will that be in future videos? If so, looking forward to that one. Hope all is well, stay safe and be blessed.
Yes, it will be. It has been VERY wet there
What camera did you use on your tractor down by the 3 pointed hitch arms and can you plug it into a screen
Im interrested to know what happened with your pto shaft using the imatch on stump grinder, how long shaft your using, my shaft is now to short with imatch quick attach
Uhoh. I cut mine for the I match originally.
Sounds like yours was cut too short!
💥 I noticed a new toy on your ROPS. Did I miss the video or is that review coming.
Keep on tractoring! 👍
Not sure I’ll do a review. We’ll see
From the look of the tractor shaking, would you agree stump grinding is the hardest implement to use on the tractor,, or would a tiller be rougher?
Stump grinder would appear to be the roughest on the tractor.
Having said that, I don’t know that it does any serious damage.
Love the channel thanks for the videos
another great video
I notice it's kicking hard because it's coming at the stump from the wrong side. When it bites or kicks, the rotation drives it further into the stump. You want it in case of a catch to kick itself out of the stump otherwise it will slide Jonny 3-4 inches in a single pass as it drives itself across the stump.
We have Honey Locust trees with 4-5 inch THORNS . Nasty wood.. and hard...
Nice camera work Christy! Don't worry Tim you did a good job too. It's gotta make your stomach churn a little bit when he says he didn't know what you did on TH-cam. It kinda makes me sad because he seems like a guy that would enjoy your videos and he has been missing out.
Yes, we find lots of folks that have never heard of us, but once introduced, become strong fans!
If I had a tractor I would love this. I cut mine to the ground. Drill big holes and add salt. The next year I add old frying oil and small brush fires. Your way would be more efficient.
Where I am at in North Eastern PA, there are rocks everywhere. How well do these tractor grinders hold up with the average snall rocks that could be hit around a stump? I've rented walk behind stump grinders several times now and at some point, I probably should have just bought one. I have a Mahindra 1538.
I've hit a few rocks, haven't broken any teeth. However, nothing like the rocks you would encounter. The good news is that 6 replacement teeth are included with the unit. I'm very pleased with the price/performance of this unit. I would NOT recommend a walk behind if you have a tractor!!
Tim, did you use that stump grinder with the Johnny 1025R? Do you find the grinder not to be too much for that PTO HP?
Yes, this video is with the 1025r.
It has enough HP.
Do you think a bigger tractor would be better for the 3 point grinder? Less vibration and jumping?
Yes
You should put it on the 2038 and see how it does
Great video 👍
Tim, this seems like a good stump grinder. Have you had any experience with the Woodland Mills stump grinder?
Woodland Mills costs more, is made in China (Baumalight made just outside Toronto). Woodland Mills 10+ week wait...Baumalight available now from Shopgreendealer.com/ttwt use code ttwt for a 5% discount.
Baumalight includes 6 free replacement teeth ($89 value)
Hey Tim, I was looking at purchasing this unit. I was wondering if the Promo code was still available? Thanks in Advance!
Yes. Code still works.
@@TractorTimewithTim I appreciate your quick response. I just got off the phone with Green dealer and spoke with Jacob. Very informative and looking forward to doing business with them. Thanks again!!
Sounds good!
What about attaching it straight to the 3-point arms? I find when stump grinding and tilling it's best to remove the quick hitch since that little bit of play in the pins can make a huge difference with the attachment jumping around.
Chainsaw with some old chain does good and fast job with stumps.
That grindder on your jd........ ill bet adding a shock absorber from the inside lift arm to the drawbar at least on one side if not from both would take some snap out of all that. Otherwise id like to get my hands on one of those. I dont have alot of need for a grinder tho. I usualy knock down my trees with my 410 backhoe to utilize the trunk as leverage. But thats probly only one tree a year
Hey Tim - Another great video. Have you ever considered adding how long it took you to do your jobs to your videos, or comments. Would be interesting to see what others are doing in a set period of time. Understanding there are a number of variables that would be different between every person. But for example, how long did it take to grind that 3' stump? Even rough estimates. I have considered getting one of those grinders because of your videos, as I have had several requests for stump removal. Just not sure if it would be a good return on my investment to get one of those.... Just a thought... Good work again BTW, I love your honesty of making mistakes and leaving those in the videos (not tightening your chains in this video)
Charles Brandee Speckman, as someone who, like Tim, sometimes captures videos of projects then puts it on TH-cam, the video part slows you down. It’s very hard to tell what is video time and what is project time. It’s also inconsistent. It would be not fair to give this data as it would overstate the project time.
Correct, Doug. Charles, it is hard to keep track of everything. Kinda have information overload while on a project...especially with a new customer.
@@TractorTimewithTim Someone like myself completely understands the addition work behind all the camera work, but things like time on the tractor (off the meter) could give some of us new guys at least some insight. Example today I did a 13,000 square ft yard, single pass, 4 inches deep, running in low gear the full time... 45 minutes on the tractor. I would have expected it to take 2 hours, but it went really quick and smooth. Just a thought...
We were there probably 2.5-3 hrs
How would the Baumalight Brush Fire MP 348 work on the stump?
might work...but would only grind to ground level
I have a gear shift Mahindra 35 , If your a good driver on flat ground it works as advertised , it can do commercial work ! You won’t be disappointed, go slow ride the clutch
great video!!
Tim how often do you have to sharpen the teeth on that stump grinder your do you replace the teeth
I have not sharpened or replaced any teeth yet
Rented a 320lb hand operated grinder, it did the job, but tough work, 120 bucks so really got my money's worth and think my arms are bigger lol
Tim how much pressure do you run in your back tires in your 1025 with them loaded
I think 16 or so.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thank you
I think the Ventrac does a much cleaner job of it. May take a while longer but not nearly as violent on the operator or equipment versus the Baumalight.
Baumalight says the 1P24 is only be used w/ hydrostatics. I presume this is for the very slow speed? I have a Deere 4300, geared, not sure how slow low low goes, but I really don't want to buy a new tractor just to use a stump grinder! Found a spec sheet , says .4 mph in 1st gear, low range.
You would need to step up to the 3P24. Gear drive won’t work with the 1P24.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thanks for the info, but do you know the reason why? Is it simply ground speed? Or is it the way the PTO is run, and it would damage something in the drive/gear train?
Need to be able to go slowly and inconsistent speed.
Hi Tim how are you and your family ?l
Tim I bought one of these a few weeks ago and after the 4th stump the drive shaft broke at the shear pin. I’m having a little problem with them wanting to back it up. Any suggestions?
I will check into it.
Tractor Time with Tim I recurved a text this morning that they are sending me a new drive shaft .
Anthony Bates WooHoo! Sounds like some good customer service!
Do you know what caused it to break the drive shaft???
@@danielwyzykowski2800 it was defective as best I could tell. The one they replaced it with has a slip clutch which it should have came with. I have ground 18 very large stumps with this thing and it did a great job.the largest one was 72” across and was a red oak.
Great video!!! Have you changed the teeth on grinders yet?
No.
@@TractorTimewithTim that's impressive they must be really good teeth
What size tractor is that grinder on
1025r John Deere. …subcompact.

I wish y'all were closer. I really would like to see how that grinder would work on the back of my massey. It would potentially save me having to haul two machines or make two trips to a job
As long as hydrostatic, it will work.
Not that expensive either! Don’t forget code ttwt!
@@TractorTimewithTim I have the 1723, I had actually spoke to you about how I bought it based on the one you had tried it on your video, that and they are the best dealer in my area for sure. My finance committee is gonna need a little pressure lol
The 1723 will handle it. Be sure to order from shopgreendealer.com and use code ttwt! That will take a bit of the sting out of it!
@@TractorTimewithTim I will, thank you for putting up these videos, and if you ever get into michigan just give me a call if you wanna do some work. We have been running a one of the forestry attachments that I think you would've liked to have on the big tree video you just did
I wish I could rent a 3 point grinder around me. Seems perfect for my needs.
Buy! I hate renting! Seems like I always want to use something multiple times anyway.
I’m totally in agreement with buying but this would be needed to clear tree stumps on an easement we use but don’t own. Instead, I’d be buying a Grapple :)
Ah yes. Ironwood. The infamous chainsaw blade killer
Hi Tim Brad from Minnesota here just wanted to say thank you for your Bible scriptures at the end of each video that is really a good idea I’m just hoping they’ll be people to Christianity
Brad awesome topic. When you're not watching Tim, teach us how to use a tractor. Check out deer meat for dinner. Great channel
im trying to find out why mine doesnt cut chunks like this and only seem to cut on the outer teeth. teeth have 4 hours on them.
One point is that I don’t remove the pin which allows it to hinge.
This is NOT recommended by the MFR.
@@TractorTimewithTim i will say i hit a high spot last time with hinge pin left in and it cut great so im thinking the same way. appreciate the reply!
Where did you get the grinder on the John deer

What is smoking behind the tractor at 12:03?
He had three stumps burning
Not having a grinder; I just dig them out with the backhoe. It’s a fair amount of digging; but well, gotta’ work with what ya’ got...
Yep.
At the end of your video it looked like your stump grinder on the john Deere was smoking. Was it or what there a fire there. Also I don't think I would want to rattle my tractor that violently so I guess I'll just cut them low and burn them out.
Looks like the stump that was burning in the 11:13 shot and the ending shot had the tractors in front of it. Just guessing.
He was burning 3 stumps.
Wow
I just happen to have 33 stumps!
I just got an estimate for
$8500
Depends on size. It could take a LONG time to do 33 large stumps.
Do you own a vendtrac
Ventrac has provided the 4500 for our use....for demonstration purposes.
I'm sure woodturners, like me, are cringing as they think of all that good wood going up in smoke! Here in Arizona, it's hard to find good wood to turn.
you spoke about the perfectionist in you...I know this problem...but the annoying part is it costs much time sometimes....iam the same kind of person...it is a good attitude, but costs time...thats the downside of it.😂
What horsepower do you have at PTO of Johnny? I have a Kubota bx2370 and curious if it will be enough tractor???
We ran it on a dyno in the bx vs 1025r comparison. 1025r has 25.5 pto hp and Bx2680 had 24.5-25.0 pto hp.
I think you will be fine with this grinder. Shopgreendealer.com/TTWT use code TTWT for 5%
States my Kubota has 17.7 at rear PTO
Right. Both the BX and the 1025r far exceeded their specs for PTO hp.
Just got it in now to makes sure I get PTO shaft cut to the right size and i can use. You have any pointers on getting i measured right ?
Glenn Scott here is my video on the topic...
How to Cut Tractor PTO Shaft
Ugh...link didn’t paste...search for that exact text and play my video.
What about a mirror vs a camera
It seems like the ventrac does a better job of lessening the vibration on the operator and it’s not vibrating the hole machine as bad as the John deer does that have something to do with the duels on the ventrac
Dunno for sure. But most of the time, Vinny vibrates less when grinding. Occasionally it starts jumping too. Kinda hard to control this at times with either machine.
have anybody convert a sub compact and small large frame tractor backhoe control valve into a hydraulic remote
working on it Michael. It may be awhile.
@@TractorTimewithTim it wood be interesting video
The hydraulic pump broke on our new tractor
Wow, that was quick! At least warranty will fix!
Yeh
More cost effective to rent a large stump grinder than to buy one.
If everything is perfect and you can rent once to get them all, yes. But it never works that way for me.
Tim, if you're going to spend 30k to 50k on a grinder I think you need to take your finance committee on a cheese burger take out date and buy another tractor. Great video on the grinders.
Yea, I don’t see us buying a self propelled stump grinder. There is plenty of money in grinding stumps, but I just don’t enjoy it that much!
Jokes about social distancing are in poor taste ATM IMO. Still a fan Timbo, but got to take COVID-19 serious and be responsible ❣️
Lighten up. We are all trying to get through this. Might as well laugh about it.
@@TractorTimewithTim I hear you, I do, however, I think as media personality you have an extra level of responsibility to toe the line, and, you can actually ADD value by demonstrating that, not making light of it. Take care 👍⭐️😀
Not worth the money. And the wear and tear on tractor. Better to rent one for the day.
Works pretty well on normal stumps. These super-hard black locust were unusually difficult. That is why we posted it. We like folks to see the extreme limits of how an attachment will behave.
