Stump Grinder Woodland Mills WG24?

[Kennyrichmond]

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?

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.
