The video's real value is the running commentary on technique: using the B2601's graduated depth scale, feathering the implement on sloped ground, and working around physical constraints like a nearby garage. Best for B2601 owners curious about real-world stump grinding on uneven terrain.
An owner-operator sharing candid, learn-as-I-go impressions from his own retirement projects, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
Pick a height like six, cut across the stump at that same setting, then drop it to five and a half or five for the next pass, repeating in half increments.
As the tractor moves forward on a hill it drops lower, causing the grinder to bite too deep, so you feather it upward to keep cutting level.
Pine is a softwood so it is easier to grind than oak, according to the owner's experience in this video.
The shield and the arm foot can catch on the stump as the back wheels drop down, flipping the implement up and cutting less efficiently.
