You have to know your market both in terms of general access and stump size.
Access impossible for self propelled units then maybe an Alpine Magnum.
Easy access with big stumps, would require a different machine than easy access with small stumps.
Are the stumps accessible with a tow behind?

We have two Carltons that will fit through a 36" gate but sometime we have to use the Alpine Magnum. The trouble with the Alpine is it always vibrates itself apart, shears off teeth, and eats 3120 powerheads.

Jeff, how many stump grinders do you have, and the reason for each one?If you could only have one stump grinder,,,,

We have three 252 carlton 7015 and a 802 we have the 802 for any stump we can get it to because it's a beast it's way faster then the 7015. We have the 7015 for all the backyard stumps or super nice and soft lawns that we don't want to drive a pickup through. We have the 252 for the tight access spots crazy tight turns n such that the 7015 won't make cause it's so long. We don't have an alpine because in my 5 years we've needed one once, sorry don't see the return on that purchase...
We get the biggest machine we can to the stump time is money.

Yeah I had the 252 prior I like my sc 602 but many don't like tow behinds! I needed mine a tow behind its fast on multiple stumps spread out like golf course work! The shaft drive blade makes a huge difference in cutting speed. The tracked one would be nice too I would imagine!

Also the sc 602 is 60 hp turbo so if teeth a bit dull no problem lol
Sounds a little pricey ? What 40 K or 50k?Also the sc 602 is 60 hp turbo so if teeth a bit dull no problem lol
7015 it's a 40 sumpin hp dutez powers through just about anything
