Stump grinder build

[MELEON]

Been playing out in the shop lately trying to put together a stump grinder.
I致e purchased a gearbox, PTO with slip clutch, a couple of hydraulic cylinders and some carbide teeth by green teeth.
The company I work for designs and builds farm equipment, so I致e taken advantage of that and had some parts laser cut and cnc bent as well.
Says I need 3 posts before I can link to pictures

the ginding wheel. Added twice as many holes as I have teeth incase I ever get rich..

Some of the laser cut parts

with the gear box

with the PTO shaft. When its actually hooked up to the gear box the slip clutch is underneath the cover.

Cool, are you planning on a design that swings horizontally, or a straight back vertical orientation (like the woodland mills model)?

 

[MELEON]

One that swings side to side.
Not like the woodland mills style.
Hopefully. Lol

Welcome.
How much does your flywheel weigh?

 

[MELEON]

It’s 19 dia 5/8 thick so it weighs roughly 55lbs without the teeth.
I’ve got 12 sets of teeth I’m guessing that’s another 15lbs maybe a little more.
