Hi folks a newbie here. I mainly do all my own tree/stump work but I have 3 farms to maintain and the pine beetles got me last year. I cut down around 20 big yellow pine trees as a result. In the past I have rented but due to the sheer amount I need to do at the three sites I decided to buy a stump grinder.
I am on my way this morning to pick up a used Rayco 1625 (2001). I looked and wanted the Vermeer SC252 but I liked the 4 wheels on the Rayco. I have used the 252 several times and just don't like that single steering end wheel.
So, I am sure this thing will need new grinding teeth and wanted some input as to what to do. Do I buy regular replacements or after marker teeth?
Initially I am looking at grinding around 40-50 stumps and then just every now and then a couple.
Lets eee while not a pro I have down over 200 trees in my life, took one huge pine down from the top down, ground probably 50 stumps, and trimmed more limbs with a pole saw than I care to remember.
thanks for the inputs. I have read a bunch here but never posted.
