    I'm impressed by how much ware and tare the 350 is saving your 220. The way you can take out a forest of trees in a hurry is amazing. The stumper is huge. But the graple makes it look so small. You've got a great matched set of equipment for what you do, Chris.

    It has been fun to watch Chris transition. When I first started watching he hated the stumper and only. used it as a last resort. But as he figured out how to make the most of it and systems for using it, it has become his go to tool for clearing. The power of the 350 and the larger stumper has had a bit to do with that though. Sure speeds up all of his clearing though.
