Tony shares incremental depth adjustments and compares the T25 against a larger tractor for this task. Best for small-tractor owners weighing whether a compact machine can handle real stump-grinding work.

Yes, Tony says the T25 handles it well using small one-inch bites, though a bigger tractor like the 474 can take bigger bites and finish faster.
Tighten the three-point hitch stabilizers as tight as possible to remove slack, since the grinder pulls hard to one side as it engages and can damage loose stabilizers.
Tony ground stumps about six to eight inches below ground level, saying a post digger would go through what remained if needed.
Tony prefers the T25 despite less horsepower because movement is more refined and he can see the grinder better than on the bigger 474.
