Anyone have a MechMaxx 3-pt stump grinder?

Contributing on the topic. Received mine earlier this week. Very pleased with the unit and order process. Have taken out a half dozen stumps with ease.

Packaging was secure, instructions pretty clear, and the painting and welds clean. The unit has a couple features not clearly marketed by the the seller—chain saw holder bracket and a manual box complete with tools needed for all fasteners on the machine.

Using on a Mahindra 1533 hydro, and it manages it pretty well. I know the specs state it will work with lower HP tractors, but I wondered how well the 25hp PTO would do. Have done a few medium-large stumps, as well as some harder wood ones. I will get my money’s worth out of it and would buy again.

So is the same one you purchased and did you get it at this price?

Wonder how much of an increase there will be with the now in effect tariff??

I ordered one. We will see how long it takes to be delivered. I have over 50 stumps right now that will need to be done plus I'm not finished cutting yet. 20 years of trees encroaching in into the yard and I'll be clearing a large food plot that this will help with.

Don't be surprised if the cost of it increases substantially in as much as DJT just upped the tariff on China to 125%, that is if they don't cancel your order...

It went up 50 dollars since yesterday. I'm not worried. I'm sure I'll get it for what I paid. If it goes up more after that I'll just have a higher resale value when I'm done with it in a few years.

and another $50 today - $1499 now.

but... around here you're lucky to find a used woodland mills for that price, and they are $2400 new - on sale right now for $2000 though. Baumalights are over 3k new.

I'm hopping on the bandwagon too! I ordered an SG24 on March 27th when they had it on sale for $1400. I'm hoping it ships soon. I have about 50 stumps to grind before I can put gravel on top of them.

Ordered and got the confirmation email on the 10th. On the 11th i got a mail saying that due to exceptionally high demand the delivery time is estimated at 4-5 weeks. The website still shows "in stock" for both colors with a 15-18 day delivery. I guess time will tell if / when i will get it.

Last year when they were $1899 (or whatever it was) i didn't pull the trigger because the website was stating a 6-7 week delay. I didn't want to lock in with that delay because there was a reasonable chance that I might find a used one before that, plus it was getting late in the year to wait 2 months to get one - the season to do the work was getting late. Looks like it's kinda headed the same way this year. I guess as long as I can get one by Memorial Day, it will all be good. I can only do so many things until we thaw & dry out completely. Heck, it's snowing right now.
