GRIPES about my TSG-50 Stump Grinder GRRRRR!!!!

[MossflowerWoods]

There is a "540 PTO" indication on the RPM dial which I think is around 2300 and I was around 2000. It would not hold the 2300 but would drop down to 2000 on it's own so I need to look into that. So yes I was running (at least for some of the time) around the recommended 540 and it was bouncy.

Greg,

I know nothing about your tractor, but how big is it? Rear tires's loaded?

Mine is pretty heavy. Adjusting the top link has helped mine A LOT. I also have tried to make sure I am taking smaller "bites" and I have adjusted my process so I take the front side of the stump, then the middle, then the back, rinse and repeat. I am moving the tractor more often and taking less aggressive "bites".

It still bounces a little on hardwoods, but not as much after adjusting the toplink.

Best of luck sir!
David

David, Did adjusting the top link solve your problem with enough depth of cut?
Glad to hear you are making some progress with the grinder (and your surgery). I think grinder is one of the toughest implements to operate correctly. Lots of things to consider.

One of these days.....somebody should post a video on running a TSG50.

Tom,

I'm not sure yet. I've only ground a couple down just below the soil level since the adjustment. It has just been too wet...

My dealer shot video the day my TSG-50 arrived, BUT it was a very soft wood stump and more glorious than reality...
