It's a real-world stress test, not a demo, he candidly documents the challenges (stump height, uneven ground, slow inch-by-inch cutting) and concludes a compact tractor and small grinder genuinely aren't suited for stumps this size. Best for owners weighing the WG24's practical limits.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on experience from his own use of a Kubota B2601 on a small farm, so expect honest, unsponsored impressions rather than a sales pitch.
It can, but slowly and with difficulty. Ed ground a stump about three and a half feet wide and 16 inches high down to four inches below grade, taking it an inch at a time.
Ed concludes it is not really made for that kind of work. He says he would not recommend a small stump grinder and compact tractor for a stump three feet wide and a foot tall.
The tractor was dropping off a mound, so Ed had to raise the wood chipper while going downhill to keep it flush and level with the stump instead of digging too deep.
