Mini-Stump Grinders

[RES]

Has anyone had any experience with small stump grinders. Here is an example of one I have been considering buying?http://www.stumpmachine.com/video/5hp-manual.pdf

First- Go down and rent one for the weekend. see how you like it.

Second- Find out what kind of cutters you need to buy, because you will go through them.

Third- If your budget can afford one go for a grinder that grinds from the rear and is self propeled.

i have the Praxis 9 hp model which looks to be somehwhat different than the one u are looking at. i have ground out well over 50 stumps with it, am still on the first set of teeth (i sharpen my own). can do a 12" diameter in about 20 mins. i am happy with it...i am a weekend homeowner warrior, not a pro...though i have made a few bucks doing some stumps for friends/neighbors. i am happy with mine..paid $1,000 for it used. i have done stumps over 30".....but they will take a while and alot of cursing...but will get the job done with patience.
