hey Clemsonfor -

You're a professional forester, no?

I found this and thought you might like it. I've never seen one before.

someone posted this sometime back.. I think I saw it here on TBN..You would need a high HP tractor to operate it Don't think my 3110 would handle it well

Cut the bottom out of a galvanized tub, unside-down over stump, fill with bag of charcoal, light, cover with bottom, check back in a few days, no mo stump. Did half dozen stumps like this until someone threw my tub out with trash.

As slow as that is geared down, I don't think it would take a lot of HP to run it from a 540 PTO shaft.

You would need a tractor with a lot of size and mass. A smaller tractor will get thrashed about by the high varying torque.

Any information on the manufacturer, model #, specs??? Inquiring minds would like
to know!

I didn't realize when I posted it that this .gif is a good test for slow DSL.

In town where I posted it, the cutter went around nearly as fast as a post hole auger.

Now viewing it out here at the ranch on 1.7mbs rural DSL, the cutter crawls.

At least coming back to this thread a subsequent time, the picture re-loads from local cache and runs at normal speed.



Now I'm really off topic.


Trails End, I don't have any info on it. I found it as a 'look at this! post elsewhere, with no explanation.

That video shows power down on the auger and it shakes that big John Deere pretty good. It might spin a small Yanmar all the way around the stump.

Rotor S 150 ? 250 Hp with drill

Here is the small one. Rotor Speedy 80 ? 100 Cv with drill

That is cool! and yes i am a professional forester.

That would be a good thing for my customers that operate campgrounds, to remove tree stumps in the areas.

If I had one, I'd cut the stump higher to prolong the fun!

Thanks for finding those videos.

That's funny to imagine. Push the power-down control ... and suddenly you have a carnival ride!

In my forestry biz we leave stumps, we don't take them out...

Great attachment though!!

HAHA, yea i do as well. But i do have a customer that has campgrounds. Wen i cut trees to make way for say new camping areas or to facilitate access to larger modern campers/RVs it looks better to not have dead rotting stumps all over the camp ground and along the road.

In the woods yea right forget it. You would have to have the landowner to pay you even if they gave you the wood to remove/grind stumps.
