It covers hitching, tooth tightening, PTO safety chains, running it on real stumps, correcting technique after starting on the wrong side, fixing sway with turnbuckles, and lessons learned about depth and bogging down. Best for owners considering this specific implement on a similar subcompact tractor.
Posted by the Keeping Up With Papa - Life After Work channel, an owner-operator documenting hands-on projects on his own tractor after retirement.
Hitch it facing the correct direction, attach PTO security chains, tighten all teeth with the supplied 24mm ring spanner, raise and lock the legs, then run it to check it spins before first use.
The manual says to cut starting on the left side of the grinder and move toward the stump, not start and move away from it as the owner mistakenly did at first.
Cutting straight down deeper and deeper instead of taking full passes and removing sections at a time causes too big a bite, which can bog down the grinder and stall the engine.
The owner adjusted the two turnbuckles on the tractor, which eliminated the wobble that occurred in the back during use.
