Read articles →A side-by-side real-world comparison of three different tractor-mounted stump grinders tackling 15 ash-tree stumps across three compact tractors, with two novice operators handling two of the machines. The video goes deeper than a typical walkaround, covering visibility challenges, PTO load variability, horsepower demands, RPM differences between grinder designs, and post-grind soil mixing. Best for compact tractor owners actively shopping stump grinders and wanting honest field impressions over multiple stumps.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator hobby-farm channel, though the host promotes a discount code for one of the grinders reviewed, which is worth keeping in mind when weighing his assessments.
Yes, the 1P24 Balmy needs a lot of horsepower and pulls with a lot of variability, though a 25 horsepower tractor can still do it.
Visibility is the hardest aspect. Being able to see what you are doing is the biggest challenge, especially with grinders positioned far back.
One grinder spins over 800 RPM while another spins only 540 RPM because of differences in design, even using the same type of disc.
Mix tilled soil with wood chips from the center of the stump so grass can grow back nearly immediately instead of piling chips too thick.
