It covers PTO speed differences, hydraulic outlet requirements, weight and maneuverability tradeoffs, and grinding technique. Real-world messiness included, tight fences, fading daylight, fatigue. Best for compact tractor owners deciding between grinder styles or sizing up the 3P24 specifically.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, with an informal hands-on style and an affiliate relationship with at least one dealer (shopgreendealer.com is mentioned with a channel code).
The 1P24 spins at 540 RPM directly off the PTO shaft, while the 3P24 has a gearbox that increases the head speed, especially helpful at the right-angle turn.
This particular 3P24 model requires two hydraulic outlets, though an upgraded version only needs one with a built-in diverter for the two cylinders.
Yes, the video notes the 1P24 works better for navigating and moving around different stump pieces, while the swing mechanism on the 3P24 makes maneuvering harder in tight spots.
Set the three-point hitch part sitting on the ground first, then lower it back down after positioning so the tractor locks in place and won't roll.
