The newest issue of Compact Equipment came today and on pages 34 and 35 they recommend that when buying a stump grinder to "... make sure it has the ability to cut several inches below the grade and the cutter rotation throws chips away from the operator."
Mine meets those conditions (I never even operated it before reversing the blade and hoses) but PT still ships them with debris being flung at the operator. This has been mentioned to the people at PT before and, as I remember the thread, was dismissed out of hand.
Since I've seen PTs in the mag, I would assume the issues are delivered to PT. Do you think it'll occur to them that flinging debris AWAY from the operator is better?
