Yesterday I decided to emulate Foggy111 and try to systematically grind stumps, he saye he can do like 100 a day or something...
I was grinding mostly pine stumps (very aromatic) some large, some small, in a section I am about to add into the temporary pasture by expanding the electric fence.
I was on my 10th stump, a very small one actually when my TSG-50 bounced, dug in hard and stalled the tractor.
This is what I found afterwards.
For the life of me I cannot figure out why this happened. the ground was not level, but not far off from level. there was some sticks and debris under the part of the grinder that sits on the ground, but there always is.
I did nothing different tat I ever do, and it was a small stump, and I was taking small "bites" and not trying to do more than get it below the surface of the dirt to make it easier to hog/mow...
What do I do now? I worried to run the grinder, so I took it off and I'm bush hogging today instead. This thing cost a fortune and I actually NEED it to work for a long, long time...
So I guess I'm Stumped...
Thanks in advance,
David
