Stump Grinder Woodland Mills WG24?

Wow Dick ... I didn't know you were his protector, and I certainly didn't think my request would even create a need for that response from you. Just like he says, I'm interested in real like reviews also. He's a real, end-user. As someone interested in a product, I'm less likely to believe the companies propaganda than a real users' true-use review. I can find a way to make a butter knife go thru a rotten stump. Shoot, I can even make my PTO grinder look like a total hero, or a failure, depending on the working conditions (stump type, etc).

It's strange that this thread somehow turned the way it did. It was going good up until recently.

If you do want to take a video, you don't need anyone to help, just do as I did in my last post and setup your cell phone on another stump or whatever and hit play.

Of course, there is no obligation to do so, just that people following this thread and not chiming in, would also likely be interested in a video.

Regardless, I think it's great that this grinder is working out well. I love that there are more options out there. The more the better! Thanks for your excellent write ups and reports so far!

What he said ^^.

I'd never seen one like this and for the price it seems like a reasonable investment for a landowner.

I agree... That's why I'd like to see it in action by an end-user. It's small and more compact... If it truly works, it would be easier for me to toss on the truck and bring along to jobs should the need pop up. And like Piston said, simply prop up your camera and let it record you. Our have someone with hands and a pulse point the camera at you. Even if they are not a talented videographer, they can at least help us see a real, user demonstration.

The way you worded it, it was more in the way of a demand and then you started in with the accusation crap.

Since I don't have a stump grinder but need one badly, I am interested in actual user feedback too and I told Woodland as much this morning. I'm only having about a 50% success rate with my backhoe, even with the ripper on it, but this thing would likely improve my batting average quite a bit. Best part is, it's affordable for a homeowner.

No Dick, it was never a demand. Here are my posts... The third one being the last one I posted before you flew in with your cape waving in the wind .

I'd like to see video of you using this grinder on your JD SCUT

Why are you getting defensive? I'd really like to see video of your JD SCUT using this grinder in action. From your long description of it, it sounds like it works really well on your machine, and I'm looking forward to seeing it work.

So you don't have a single other living person near you that can hold your cellphone camera pointed in your direction while you use this implement? Seems very suspicious. I'd really like to see this thing in action on your 18 PTO HP JD SCUT. I Might want to buy one for my tractor. Showing me stock pictures, or a "before & after" does little to demonstrate to the world how this unit actually operates under load. And not for nothing, but your overly detailed and technical description of the implement sounds as if you are a salesman for the company, not an actual end user.

I'm truly interested in this product... I'm always buying new implements, especially if I discover one that works better than something I currently have. That's why I'd like to see your JD SCUT operating this machine on a real life stump.

Dick,

My post above should say, "The welds are NOT nuclear submarine beautiful." Meanwhile it appears that pulling the pin I described does allow the wheel to kick up.

Look, TSO you're anonymous. You project an alter-ego on this board and attempt to inflate it with associations and equipment description you likely lack. You have taken on a territorial proprietorship over posts and resent a perceived newbie from receiving any attention on matters of substance. As you are anonymous, you have no substance, but thought you might gain some by creating a "suspicion". Who should give a flyin' F if an anonymous poster with a "stage identity" is suspicious or not? I reported what I purchased and what I did with it. There were no bystanders. So until you have a real identity, not an invented one, and post sales reciepts for the equipment that you allege that you own, you are ignored.

Thanks,

Ken

I went and looked at this stump grinder when I went to pick up the trailer that I just bought from them yesterday. It is a serious piece of equipment. Very well-built, and very sturdy, and a great idea! If I had the stumps I would've bought it in a heart beat.

Any thoughts on how a gear/shuttle tractor would handle this? I'm worried that even with ePTO at 1900rpm in low gear, forward speed would be too quick and it would be a constant battle with feathering the clutch.

I have zero experience with a shuttle shifter. At 18 PTO HP, the speed I'm moving through pine stumps is about the same as a 7.5" circular saw through 3/4" ply. How's that?

I Might not be intelligent enough to grasp the advanced concepts you are speaking about here, what with the "alter ego," "territorial proprietorship," and "anonymous stage identity" stuff. I really don't understand why you are getting so defensive... you posted on Dick's thread, I'm assuming, to provide him, and others who may be interested in this product, your useful, relevant, personal end-user experience, to help him, and others, have a better understanding of the product, and how well it may work from someone who has actually used it.

If one of the main reasons that folks come to this forum us to gain and share such experience... Then surely my thousands of posts over the years, including countless detailed action pics & videos of product reviews, on a wide range of equipment, speaks to my objectivity, transparency, and willingness to share information with others.

Oddly enough, I've never asked anyone to send me something in exchange of me providing a sample video demonstrating my use of something.

Dick started this thread to get info on the product. Though initially skeptical of the products' efficacy (admittedly), I am very interested in seeing it in action by real end-users. I may place an order if the product looks like a viable alternative to what I currently have.

LOL that's fine Rob, I've been called worse! But I'd still like to see his tractor grinding stumps with this grinder. I'm not understanding why that's such a monumentally unreasonable request.

More good input. Good, I might have to buy this thing yet.

You and me both. I did talk to Derek at Woodland Mills who told me it shouldn't be a problem. I also ask if you could cut while in reverse and he said no due to the anle the cutting teeth are set. I think the answer is, if you can't go slow enough just to take a lighter cut. More cuts faster should equal about the same time for the job less the time you spend backing up. As this is more of a proper owner tool, it's probably not that big of a deal. That's what I'm thinking anyway but I do wish Woodland would get a gear tractor and give it a try.
BTW they aren't giving in on the package deal either so I'd hold off on the chipper. It does look to be a good deal too however. Free shipping on the chippers for some reason but I don't know why because I think they likely weigh more than the stump grinder does.

That machine looks well built and has a simple design. If I had a need for a stump grinder, I would without a doubt get the Woodland Mills grinder. For 2k I am already considering if I have enough demand in my area for 20+ stumps. My Kubota L4060hstc with 6 range transmission would be perfect.

So I went to Woodlands website and downloaded the operators manual. In there it says to remove stabilizing pin before using. So I went to the parts diagram and figured out what the stabilizing pin is for. The stump grinder is mounted on a swivel and if you try to chew through too much the grinder just swings back. So that means that you can't feed it too much. Therefore there should be no problems using this with a shuttle type tractor as long as it has a clutch.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a video of an actual owner using this grinder. If someone wants to send me this model of grinder I'll gladly post a video. Send me a pm for shipping info!

I'd love to buy one myself as I have a few stumps to take care of. $3000 with extra teeth, shipping and taxes is just a bit out of my budget range right now.
