I picked up a 545 husky for about $550 I think and man is that an impressive saw light and has tons of torque at speed. It's running a 20" that I noodled a 36" white oak nugget full burry and it never bogged down once. Impressive for a 50cc and as mush as I hate to say it but it pulls harder...
Murph, Do you grind the whole thing or grind around the core and saw out a chunk? I have done that a few times and it really cuts down on the chip pile.
Yeah that's right mother effin Horse Power is what slays stumps! I agree it has to be pretty wet to leave a mark in a lawn my sc652 has yet to leave a rut, and I work on golf courses and heavily irrigated yards daily year round.
Use the stumper to cut the roots and load them out whole is my suggestion. We had some wind events here about two years ago that knocked down a dozen smallish trees at a condo complex and I was able to pull the stumps out of the ground with Sancho the Mini made for easy dirt refill.
I think the Atom splitter would work on some stumps as long as you can get the screw to bite. I have had some big ash crotches the the screw would just drill in about three inches and strip out it's hold.
Wear a mask for that burned out one or wait until it rains to keep the dust down. Old stumps are easy as it gets to grind usually punky, green oak with new teeth just makes me smile.
Some times when grinding stringy or really wet stumps I lift the guard on my grinder to fling grindings froward.
A grinding screen is mandatory and very effective.
