Big stump grinder

[VINIFIREWOOD]

Can any of you guys identify this stump grinder. Belongs to a friend of my cousin. Wondering make, model, approx age. Pretty interesting old piece of iron. Looks to be a ford 300 6 engine in it. Wheel has to be 3 ft diameter. Don't remember how many cutters right off hand but a lot.

I can't remember the name brand of this grinder but the man who built it has passed away and the company has been closed.

Hope this helps!

Don't quote me on this but I think his last name was Letourneau.

I think I found the vid your talking about. "A Stump Man" Scott Brice in Colorado.
Very similar unit but that one is hydro drive. The one I posted the pics of is belt drive and has Vermeer "type" yellow paint under the blue and it's in Minnesota

that was probably a beast of a machine at the time that came out,...and still gets the job done.

It's a Rochleau-- It has a 6 cylinder International combine engine in it. Built in Rugby , ND. His name was Richard Rochleau, past away a few years back.

That's interesting, I love equipment but I have never seen a machine like that. Makes a big mess in a hurry!
