    A really happy stump grinder ...

    I had 114 of my worn out Sandvik teeth, from my Carlton SP7015 re-tipped. My old teeth were beyond sharpening anymore. These are like new again. I hope I'll be happy with the end results. The only thing that could be an issue would be if the carbide tips come off. I'll know in short order. I...

    Stump grinding in icy conditions ...

    I bid this job yesterday. The tree split in three directions and did considerable damage to this property and the neighbors property. I don't know why the tree guys did not cut the stumps lower to the ground except there is quite a bit of dirt that you can't see and the dirt is hard as a rock...

    It's that time of year. Insurance has gone up again. My total bill is $1,650 for the next year. I insure my 2013 Carlton SP7015 for $40,000. That part is $660. The rest is for General Liability with an aggregate amount of two million dollars. I have to grind a lot of stumps just to pay for...

    Carlton SP7015 with Kohler 74 HP

    I talked with a sales rep at Carlton and he confirmed they are now using a 74 HP Kohler engine on the SP7015. I have a three year old SP7015 with the Kubota 66 HP engine. Has anyone been able to demo one of these units? I am curious how the torque compares with Kubota. Will 8 HP actually make a...

    I lost a stump grinding job because of miscommunication ...

    I got a call from a homebuilder to grind a 2' stump to just below grade level so he could start working on a room addition. I arrived on the site within an hour to find a couple of guys digging the stump out with a Bobcat Skid-steer on tracks. The builder was not there but the homeowner thought...

    Need advice on grinding large blowovers ...

    I've been grinding stumps for several years but I have never done a blowover. I have seen only three, here in Oklahoma, and they were probably about 8-10' across. I use a Vermeer SC352 but I am going to pick up a new Carlton SP7015 in a week and I would not be intimidated to take something like...

    Hustling stump grinder work ...

    I have been grinding stumps for several years, since I retired, and find it totally enjoyable. It seems that many folks are reluctant to talk about their practices and their charges. This is for those who don't mind sharing their stories. I have gotten all my work from advertising on Craigs...
