How much time was involved in grinding those two stumps? Nice review but that unit seems undersized for the large scope of your particular project.

Hi Jay, I love, Love, LOVE this design! I'd really like to build it, but I have an X50 Woodworker! Have you designed a smaller version for that (I hope, I hope!)?

Ditch the triangle. If you aren’t driving it on the road you don’t need it.

I agree, i need at least 16 inches

Wow, need more tutorials like this, I lean on to use sketchup also for that matter too have as 3d model for visuals also as well for CNC or laser cuts, nice job 👍🏻

Hi Jay! I love, Love. LOVE this design. However, I have the X-50 Woodworker. You didn't, by any chance, design a version for that (fingers-crossed)?!?!?

Your discussion of the quadrants (aim for 6-9 rather than 3-6 o'clock) was great for beginner woodworkers who are getting to know the ways of wood. The video angles worked really well. It's the first time I have seen how stumps are removed. Really enjoyed the vid.

you should relocate the slow moving vehicule plate (triangle) elsewhere... it is right in your field of view, maybe screw it directly to the seat or up there on the ROPS

You might look at installing a couple of truck mirrors back there.

any possibility that the tractor has a PTO on the front. I know many do.

What about a simple fiberglass rod or any rod mounted to the blade house somewhere. It can help show angle much better. Make some tape marks that makes sense as references to depth from something you can’t see around, like top of the triangle. As long as it’s removable and not higher than tractor fenders prob. Too tall would suck in the woods.

That's a nice tractor and the attachments are quite useful. But I can't help thinking that a tracked skid steer and the multitude of attachments available for them wouldn't be a much better and more useful piece of equipment.

install a digital rear view mirror (camera) hehe <3

Boy with his toys, and a lot of jealous viewers. Can we all join in?

stump grinder? I barely know 'er!

Can the "Slow sign" be attached to the back of the seat or ROPS? Maybe it can be swiveled?

Do you have water on your land for your future house?

Jay, mirrors or camera setup?

Howdy Sir You are getting there slowly but surely.. Just don’t get discouraged… Keep the end game always in your mind.. As for visibility for now I would make the slow moving sign disappear for now.. Just a suggestion Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Cheers

I have the same stump grinder and I can tell you a camera system is a must. I put a cigarette outlet and mounted mine on magnets so it is completely removable. It also helps if you can’t see the tips of your forks!

Oh man, don't suppose you'd let me borrow this for an afternoon? ; )

Did someone say "stumped?"

Put a pole and flag on the rear. Easy visibility.

Why aren’t you using the bucket of the tractor to fill in the holes? That grapple looks like a giant rake to me! 😎

I know this was a wood working channel, but this homesteading stuff has me watching a LOT more than i used to.

Just a thought concerning the viewability issue .. (a suggestions I saw others already made after I submitted this. * you could buy a cheap car license plate backup camera to mount on the back and LCD screen to mount on the dash. These operate off 12V so could be hooked to your battery. You could rig an inline on/off toggle switch for viewing on demand. * This way you could see what is going on behind at the flick of a switch using the LCD mounted on the dash.

Remote camera on a tripod connected to your phone. You could put it behind and right at ground level for no vibration.

What about taking the triangle marking sign off of the back of the tractor while grinding, would that open your view?

yeah, visibility is tough. but you do get pretty good at it with experience. I back over it until I can see it, then move forward a bit and go by sound (chipper and tractor) and watching the chips. after several cuts I'll pull forward to check progress and reorient as needed. I never actually see the blades going.

Considering the size of property and amount of work to be done, I would go to an equipment auction for a mini excavator. You can get stump grinders, chippers, and more, that you can mount on the arm and have great flexibility in what can be done with it.

Oh how I've missed your edited in weird shaped text commentary. It's one of the things I've always liked about your editing style.

They make these rear view cameras for RVs that have a monitor in the size and shape of a rear-view mirror so it just looks normal. Maybe put one of those in? Bright sunlight may be an issue though.

it appears that stump grinder will be awesome you just need to get some more experience and everything will be great thanks for the video

Use your camera projected onto a tablet in your lap to see without mutating yourself?

Add a mirror to the grinder or fender. Simple, easy, cheap.

You brought a rake, they're just attached to your arms. Being 5' 5" myself I feel your pain. There are times being short helps, and they must be celebrated. Looks like a giant chop saw.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 😂

For visibility just stick a gopro out back. you can get cool video and see it on your phone live as a rear view camera.

Looks like them chiggers got the upper hand on ya. Bummer

Maybe a way to help with visibility for the stump grinder would be to buy an inexpensive ($75 - $100) wireless "rear view" camera and monitor and mount the camera on the rear of the tractor, near the Left fender, and place the monitor near the gauge cluster. Then you can keep your head straight forward, have less neck strain and and overall easier time. With the camera near the fender, it would be far enough away for the flying chips to not get damaged. I'm sure you will find other uses for the camera and monitor setup in the future too.

I see that Woodland Mills just came out with a bigger/heaver spring loaded stump grinder.

Cool tool, would be nice to have around here. On the visibility problem, you couldn't try and throw some older video equipment on it, a screen and camera and you could get a perfect vantage point of the cut. Unless the sun is too bright for any screen that is.

Thank you, normally how deep do you grind the stump?

Thanks looks like fun work

Do you need a workbench to build a workbench? No. Does it massively help you not make everything wonky?! Oh hell yes.

JFC where do you find 2x4 and 2x6 that's anywhere near quality enough for this kind of joinery. The only stuff I can ever find looks like it was milled by a beaver's apprentice.
