I have wondered where the word gin or gin point comes from
Looks like Stevie Wonder had a go at feeling a treee ehWent and looked at a stumo grinding job for another tree guy. This is the stumps he left. Cuts are wacked.

What the heck do you own man? We got a Vermeer but I forget the model... I think it's like a twelve inch wheel. But the two would be an hour or more with the teeth in the condition they're in right now.
An 18-20 inch mahogany takes about 40 minutes if I go about four inches under.

You might consider speed lines in that situation. They don't take long to put on, and if you are smart about it, they can speed you up a lot.
Tie your rope at the base of a long branch to be removed. Attach a loopie & carabiner to each log piece that you would snap cut and toss, working your way to the far end of the branch. Start cutting like a madman, the whole branch is rigged and controlled. Cut below each loopie, the next one down the line is holding the rope as a gin-point. Since each branch/log is being held, you only need to make a back cut on the side the rope is on, then rip through the back cut until it falls or can be pushed off.
The groundies just need to hold on to the far end of the rope, perhaps anchoring it to the truck bed where the logs will be delivered. If you are running a long ways horizontally, they will need to have a friction control device to hold the end of the rope...
@pdqdl can you put a diagram or link to a video of what you described?
I have a carlton sp 8018 trx. I ground 28 stumps, avg 30" diameter, in 3.5 hours a month or so ago. That was with dull teeth to.What the heck do you own man?

Obviously, this gif does not show all the details, but you should be able to get the drift of how it works.
