First stump down! 5 million to go. This was a ~30" pine stump.

I've done several with mine. I luv this thing...

How much does it cost to get it imported?

So far I'm into it at $113.

That's a real nice looking machine!!

Mr. Steppenwolf, is that a tooth bar on the MX, or a bucket with welded on teeth?

Any chance for a picture of that?



Also, would you be willing to share a rough cost on the LP stump grinder?

I just received a quote for grinding ~20 stumps at $1800.

At ground level, they are from 3 to 6 feet across.

Surely we can turn it into a DIY project!!!

It's a tooth bar... I believe a Titan, 380 bucks installed. ( 72" Bucket 23TF Tooth Bar) . The stump grinder was 5k... and was a year old model, the new are supposed to be 6K. :confused2: I have about 120 acres of woods and wanted it for obvious reasons. It sure does work good.
BTW, wifey is from NE PA... :thumbsup:

Very helpful and Thank You!

I have a couple of LP implements...well built...although they can be a bit higher priced.

Your Titan tooth bar sounds interesting...need to take a closer look at it.




Northern PA has few people...and spectacular Springs, Summers and crisp Autumns.

The only downside is Winter tries to hang on about 4 weeks too long!!!

I’ll let you know when it’s finally at my house.

 

[Dwellonroof]

I received an email and the stump grinder is at port in New Jersey.
I received another invoice for 11 different fees and charges totaling $405.00 plus the $113.00 is $518.00
This should get me to a destination Grove Transportation in Kentucky where I think I can intercept it so not to put even more money in it but I did call Grove which thinks I would have a few more fees. ETA says 3/18/21 but we will see. I’ll keep you posted.

wound up buying the woodland mills WG24, it was delivered Monday, a week from order to delivery.
Been eating up stumps for 3 days now, it works well. Figured I'd lube it up this morning, and damn zerk broke clean off when I removed the grease gun on the bearing closest to the PTO. That was a 4 hour delay to get the old one out, and a trip to town to get a replacement from TSC. Be careful with that one. It's an M6x1.0 zerk.

The WG24 is in my sights. I spoke with them last week.

I live in PA, and am about 3 hours from their US distribution warehouse in Buffalo, NY.

I would have to pay state sales tax if I pick it up at the dock.

It ends up that their standard delivery fee, with No sales tax is only a bit more than dock pick up with state taxes.

So no meaningful savings on going to pick it up.

Mr. JCoastie, based on your initial use, what are you finding your average time for grinding - let's say an 18 to 20 inch diameter stump?

I got a WG24 a couple weeks ago and it's been pretty awesome.

mostly long needle pine here, soft and quick. So a stump that large may be just 2 or 3 minutes with my 40hp tractor.
I think I take larger bites than I should, but it works well. No rocks here either.

 

[BackRoad]

Thanks for that!

Have not heard any bad remarks in any thread which mentions the WG24...

Did you get your chipper today? I'm thinking about buying one, be interested in your experience with it.

 

[Dwellonroof]

I'm still waiting, I have contacted Carotrans in NJ but they tell me something different each time but always ask about the payment and said it will ship to Grove.

 

[Dwellonroof]

I finally picked it up at Grove so here’s my fees
Isf —————-$113
Carotrans——$405
Isf —————$473.23
Grove transportation $145
Total fees. $1136.23
I was overcharged $50 by Carotrans
Total fees. $1086.23
Stump grinder
34 extra bits. $1320.00
Total————— $2406.23

So who are the crooks

 

[JCoastie]

That's unfortunate, I was hoping for a better experience for you. I had the WG24 delivered to my driveway for 2500 in 4 days. (No spare teeth though)

Thanks for posting, I honestly thought you'd save some money of the deal, but I only have about a hundred bucks over what you paid, and I do have spare teeth...

I ground 4 stumps with mine last week, it works pretty good, I'm glad I bought it.

It was an experience.
It looks nice and heavy built and the only difference apart from the curved woodland design is the grease able pins but if I would do it again I probably would get the woodland mills.
