Ground stumps yesterday, officially quit working with new companies today and fired one repeat company, long story that I'm not getting into, no lawsuits or anything, im just sick of the B.S and other guys expecting you to change your schedule around them
finally got to grind stumps myself for the first time, rental was cheaper than hiring out the grinding and it gave me some experience, enough to say I'd be cool with never doing another stump and just pay the price of hiring a grinder
not a fan of that fecon stumper, works fine but it abuses the machine and operator, plus being in a skidsteer it creeps pretty quickly, and I'm pretty sure that is a high flow grinder on a standard flow machine, just doesn't seem to spin as fast as I think it should, but then again it could be working as intended, never ran another one to compare it with
Heres the exact spot we talked about with the mini loader tearing it up, this is after drying out in the sun for a week, its as hard as concrete and near impossible to dig without a machine, being clay the water doesn't drain through it fast which leaves an inch or two of slime ontop, just enough for the grass to get peeled back and mud pressed through, never really sink much in it but you won't have any traction, similar to ice
