Read articles →This video specifically tests a 34-inch direct-drive stump grinder on a John Deere 1025R subcompact, directly addressing viewer questions about whether the smaller tractor can handle it. It goes deeper than a typical walkaround: multiple stumps are ground on camera, the grinder's pull-into-stump problem is demonstrated and a directional solution explained, tooth design and efficiency are discussed in practical terms, and a $5,000 list price is mentioned. Best for 1025R owners weighing this specific grinder purchase.
An owner-operator channel where the host grinds stumps on his own property alongside a co-host, presenting hands-on impressions with an apparent relationship to the grinder's manufacturer or designer, which gives the coverage a promotional lean.
Yes, it works fine on a 1025R. It is described as safer on a low horsepower tractor because it reduces bouncing dramatically compared to other grinder options.
Grind from the right side to the left of the stump instead of the traditional direction, so if it pulls, it pulls away from the stump instead of into it.
It lists at about $5,000, though the price may be cheaper through a dealer. Teeth are cheaper than carbide teeth and can be rotated three ways if chipped.
Jumping happens when an individual tooth tries to take more bite than it can handle, forcing the whole wheel to jump up during grinding.
