Struck Magnatrac 6000, Kioti DK40SE
Here's some pix of a stump grinder that I put together for my Magnatrac. I bought the hydraulic motor and cutter wheel from Power Trac (one sized for the PT 425). I made up the bracket to fit on my backhoe in place of the bucket (used 5 inch channel, 3x3 and 2x2 angle). Its gonna take some time to master the technique of effectively (and safely) grinding with it, but maneuvering it with the backhoe controls seems to work good. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Its fair to say that this is one "implement o' destruction" /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

This shows the cutter way down below ground level (about 8 or 9 inches - wheel diameter is 18 inch)

John,
If you don't mind me asking, how much does Power Trac charge for a cutter and motor like you have?
