My father wanted to get some pics of him grinding an uprooted stump to put on our website and to post here. What happened was he got to caught up in taking pictures that he made a boo boo.

My dad is 6'4" btw for some comparision.

The stump took around 35 minutes to grind. The roots fell over at 24 minutes, my dad knew it was going to fall but he wanted to make a vid of it falling and turned his back, I said its falling and over it went.

I got some vid of the machine running that will be put up soon. Incase it intrests any of yall.

ha funny that lumber jack i had a similar job ,stump was hanging out of a bank,my stump sub couldnt get it with a 1672 as it wouldnt go high enough,we made a dirt ramp and got it with a rg50 as you would know its engine is stationary.

 

[Lumberjack]

Hmm we have an RG50 as well, I am not sure what you mean by the engine is stationary.


It took a 40hp 4wd tractor to pull the grinder back, and then some more work getting the piece off the top of the cutterhead.

My website is a work in progress, nothing really to show right now, but its www.rutherfordstumpservice.com

i hire an rg50 of a colleague from timw to time, his one doesnt have the scraper on the back though, neat idea....is that a rayco part?

Its called a backfill blade (just another name for it) and the machine in the picture is an RG 85. The Super RG50 comes with a blade, I am not sure about the standard RG50, I dont think it does.

The blade has always been on the RG85, that machine is 4.5 years old and has around 1300 hours on it I do believe.
