stump grinder

[Lady L]

I currently have over 60 stumps to get rid of. 2 large ones around 30" to 36" in diameter, 3 around 15" in diameter with the rest between 4" and 10". The larger stumps are hard wood and the smaller ones are mostly soft wood. I will have other stumps over the next couple of years so I want to buy a stump grinder but only have a budget of £1500/1550, which limits me to a walk behind. I've looked at machines 13hp to 15hp and from what I've read I prefer the Lumag. Problem is I don't know anything about the engine they fit in the Lumag and I'm concerned about parts availability. Can you please give me a little advice.

We have covered this topic pretty extensively in other posts. Those walk behind grinders are essentially worthless torture machines. This is a case where your money is much better spent hiring a pro and expending your energy on other areas of your property.

I have an old Dosko and love it. Bigger the engine and heavier the weight the better. Keep the teeth as sharp as possible, clear away as much dirt away from the stump along with rocks, bricks and other debris and have at it. I'm in the US but this should get you in the right direction.

Rent the biggest one you can find for a day and go crazy!

I wouldn’t waste my money buying one that small. Heck even renting isn’t worth it for what my local guy charges to bring his remote control grinder in.
