Rentals are a crapshoot, for sure. I don’t know if I’ll ever buy one. Not against it but I’m not putting out 8K for a used one at this point in time. There’s not a lot of money in grinding in our area as far as I know. We’ll see how it goes with this one.

Well, the first time using a considerably powerful machine to tear up a dense wooden mass should prove fun. There may be something cathartic about watching a stump disappear little by little (like watching fire maybe?) and listening to the engine while trying to keep rpm’s up. The 30th time may...

Yeah, most guys gather 3-4 stumps and then rent the machine and bang em out. I’d be curious of the cost as well including removing debris. Edit to add: there’s quite a bit of surface roots.

The 54” bar was completely consumed on the last cut and I added a little for the flare. Appreciate all your help and input!

@lumberjack The reason for starting so large is that it’s for my parents and we removed the tree. So you’re saying mound all the dirt/wood chips about a foot above grade? Suppose it settles. When does grass seed get applied?

I didn’t think that asbestos was still used in brake pads. I know Raybestos is still a trade name but assumed its product was reformulated.

I’m assuming the Toro would take all day to grind a 75” (including flare) silver maple stump? Probably getting the Vermeer. Would 4” below grade be sufficient for a lawn over top? Never ground a stump before. Any tricks?
