I always swore I would never grind stumps. I saw it as a waste of time/money because of all the people who do it as a side thing for peanuts.
Well, I am buying one.
If they want me to grind stumps I will charge as if I were climbing or hauling.
I have referred hundreds of stumps to a local guy but he is getting old and said he is thinking about selling out. His prices were most of why I wouldn't buy one before, though he is a good honest man.
Anyway, I am paying too much for a Husqvarna SG13 and its a little squeaker I already know. I am a very very impatient man and I know I will most likely want to wrap it around a tree the first time I use it. @250lb and 13 horse I am the kind that would conside it handheld equip.
So I need to make this thing cut as fast as possible.
I am trying to figure out how to convert it to "green teeth" which I have read is much better.
Where can I get a conversion kit and how do I do this? Will the bluebird wheels and teeth swap over?
Also....
Anyone ever put a bigger engine on an sg13?
I have read where guys used a different pulley ratio to keep it from bogging down. Any experience with this?
I realize I can't turn this thing into something its not but I need ever bit of speed I can squeeze out of this thing.
