I just bought the Toro STX 26stump grinder absolutely love stump grinding and have learned a lot from you I really appreciate your knowledge that you're sharing with others.
New to the channel. Love the free information very helpful to beginners. Going to look at a vermeer 252 tomorrow. Cheap money just needs a motor overhaul wich i can do myself. Buying the machine for home use but thinking about maybe a little side business. As for the negative comments, watet undrr the bridge brother. Some people just dont want to see other's succeed. Just some constructive criticism on the sticker. I think a grinding wheel indtead of the saw wheel would look cool. But just my opinion. Thanks again for the helpful information! God bless!
GREAT CONTENT.. YOUR ADVICE IS HELPFUL!! IVE BEEN RUNNING A TORO GRINDER W/13HP HONDA,SINCE 2010 AND STILL MAKING MONEY WITH IT... JUST BOUGHT A SC292 SO HOPE I CANT STEP IT UP ALIL...LIKE THE STICKERS!!
Retired a year ago and started grinding with sh40 for extra money and to keep busy and really appreciate your advice and videos. They have been a great help. McGuire and son stump grinding ✌️
I always learn so much from you on Stump Grinding. I like your channel focus and how you help people seek their best. Very helpful and useful channel by someone who really knows his stuff! Thanks!
Brother we are unfortunately stuck in a society where people are way too Damm hung up on words...the first time I heard your phrase grinding mafia I thought it was pretty awesome!! I think your family idea is great why not look out for each other. Many hands make light work! Anyway keep it up, thanks for all you do brother!!
Hey! Thank you for your videos! I started off stump grinding part-time in Sacramento CA area and will be going full-time in a week. Your videos have taught me a lot about the business. Keep doing what you do!
Adam, great advice as usual. I ran my grinding business part time for about a decade while working full time as a lineman. I have an Alpine magnum, a 13hp Husqvarna handle bar unit, & a 252. During this time I did a lot of small difficult access stumps which fill in the gaps while I built my business up. My 2 sons have taken it over & we still have the smaller equipment as I have tree guys & stump guys pushing this work my way. I have (2) 35hp grinders we primarily use so usually a breakdown won’t create a problem keeping the work going. Thanks for the advice, I hope your hip is coming alone, it’s a long slow process but should be worthwhile. Fran
Thank you for your videos and sharing your experience. 2021 is my first year cutting my teeth in stump grinding. Hopefully I can grow and learn and help others along the way 👍
Adam I hope you had a great weekend! Don't give in I think what you built is great. You keep doing you I love the videos I love all of the input and it's helping me start my business, So thank you keep doing what you're doing.
Toro is the most accessible dealer in my area. Have you had any experience working with a STX 26 or 38? I have been using Toro Grandstand mowers for a few years with absolutely no issues. I hope that carries over to their stump grinders.
Love your videos. I started my Stumpgrinding biz in September of 2020 and now I have 3 machines, including an alpine magnum grinder. I definitely charge more whenever I have to run it.
Great advice, as a full timer you must have backup machines especially if you are working for contractors, they don’t want to hear no excuses , they need it done now , homeowners can sometimes wait a few days
I used to run a small portrait and modeling portfolio business. When I started getting busier, I would raise my prices and weed out a lot of my "Problem Children". Sure I might have lost 10-15% of my customer base, but I was making more profit per customer and was not working as many hours. Thus more $$, Less hours.
I have a power king handle bar stump grinder . I have had it for a year now and it has paid for it self x3. Love the machine I can get into very tight space with it. Love the channel don't let the haters ruin it.
Your right on about smaller machines . They have a place in the industry. I had to get out the small grinder this weekend to get up into an elevated flower bed to grind out a couple arborvitaes . Tight restricted spots comes with a higher fee. Hope that hip of yours is coming along well . They is a lot of negativity in the world at the moment. It`s people like you that prove that , there are still good hard working people out there willing to help each other. Keep up the good fight !!
Man don't worry about the haters. You have a big audience and there will always be negative comments. Love the videos. Just brought home a sc30 and haven't even got it dirty yet. I appreciate all the information. It has cut down the learning curve significantly.
Hey bud I've been binging your videos and im beyond grateful you take the time to make them. On the topic of these smaller 13hp machines, which ones would you avoid?
They are mostly the same but look one with a honda engine and 13hp or more .... the old rayco's were really good machines also you want cutter teeth that are replaceable
Thanks for your video , always learn something new . Just starting my stump grinding side to my business. I have a very rocky job to do , client says grinder won't do it so will take my mini digger with a ripper tooth and the grinder just to be safe
I like the mafia idea, it not like you are ask grinders to take it for their company name, their are construction mafias my buddies are in and it is all about building everyone in it up, some are just easily offended I guess.
Hi I’m a disabled veteran and I’m learning a lot from you! I live in Oklahoma and you said you do also I was wondering if we can have a conversation about this or I come help you for 1 day for free I just want the knowledge and that sir is priceless!
Adam thanks for another great video. I think it is great when you Your knowledge on being wealthy from a blue collar workers standpoint I think too many people in America don't believe that is still possible but it is possible to become a millionaire if you work at it I am proud to be part of the stump grinding mafia
Hi there. First time seeing you on youtube and I am now subscribed. Looking forward to learning lots from you. My buddy and I split on a three point hitch stump grinder. It's hard to charge people for doing things, like their driveways in the winter, levelling a pile of gravel in the driveway etc. But we now have stopped. People don't realize the cost of equipment. All they see is that takes 15 minutes with a grinder, so it should only cost $20.00. I have no idea what we should charge per stump or per job. All pointers will be appreciated.
Perception is a hell of a thing...there’s always going to be someone judging with their angle. Mafia may appear evil but what family has always been the core and in any game it’s what motivates and picks you up when you’re down. Looking forward to warmer months and the grinding that comes with it. Great to see vids, thanks again for your time!!
Hello Adam, enjoy your videos and by the way,I talked to a tree company who was grinding stumps near my home and went up and talked to him about if he needs someone he could call to help out and he said yes sir I would and he talked about stump grinding people being like a network. Knowing each other and helping each other. That's when I thought of you talking about this. Small world huh.
Great common sense advise as always. Extremely helpful to someone just starting out. Don't worry about the whinny PC snowflakes, the Stump Grinding Mafia stickers make it fun, keep em coming!

Well the computer picked you as this weeks sticker winner send info to mustangrebuilder@gmail.com
Dont forget to send info for sticker you won to mustangrebuilder@gmail.com
Don’t change a thang.
Hey I’m curious on how you charge on like the stump that had all the roots out from the stump?
Contractors get $1 per foot each root homeowners $2
I also give away work if a customer has called me for a few stumps i always throw one in for free.
Thanks for taking the time to pass on great knowledge of the business!
You bet!

Depends on your area but minimum should be 3 bucks a dimeter inch
