Chris, really enjoy your content. I do stump grinding as well. I made a very inexpensive shield out of a heavy duty tarp connected to some angle iron sticks. It folds up completely flat and I can angle/bend it around any size stump to protect a house, vehicles, etc. It catches probably 98% of my material and it makes cleanup easier as well. The tarp takes about 30 seconds to set up and is well worth the extra insurance. Hope this helps, keep on grinding sir!
I really like this method: fast and safe. But there are also disadvantages. It is almost impossible if you do not know where to get such a machine or this service will cost so much that you are not ready for it. But the main thing is that after such destruction of the top of the tree stump, you still leave all the roots in the ground. That is, you won't be able to dig the ground with a shovel there freely for ~30 years, and even more so, you won't be able to make a flower bed or vegetable garden there with a cultivator. That is, first you will pay a lot for the destruction of the stump, and then - for the repair of the cultivator, which will constantly bump into all the left roots.
it all depends on your budget you have to start out. I would start out small and grow. 252 Vermeer or Bandit with at least a 27 hp motor. Thanks for watching!!!
Getin 'er done as usual! Question: what did you price this at? I'm working on improving my estimate strategy for my quotes as I am a new guy. Based on the number of stumps + hardwood stump, looks like they didnt require backfill or sod, and did you dispose of any wood mulch for them? assuming you guys just grind and go for this one I would price it around $400. Curious to hear. Thanks Chris
@treestumpguy, you're in the ballpark being a little more than that. I base mine grind on time and if it's tree job or just a stump removal. The prices are different depending on which one. Keep grinding sir!!
Great job, Chris!

Having someone grind a stump for you makes a difference for sure. Thanks for watching!!!
Great job Chris!
Thanks! How is New York this time of the year for stump grinding?

400 is on the low side in my opinion. Machinery isn't cheap to buy or maintain. I'd be 3 or 4 hundred on that big stump all by itself.
