Stump Removal

Being an itinerant stump grinder of these past dozen years, I've experienced a number of stump removal scenarios. I've not written this using the intention to thrill, nor has it been written because the "be all to finish all stump grinding method". I felt there to become a requirement for an itemized description of the items I actually do, among all the different visual and pictorial information stump grinding service.

Possibly this humble piece inspires other stump grinders to make an attempt using their written descriptions of methods they grind away stumps using their machinery. If the collective information, was compiled and indexed, it might end up being a valued written supply of reference for those future stump grinders.

I'm fortunate so that you can draw upon my very own unique mixture of encounters (not always associated with this subject), complemented by having an capability to put this into writing --- although how it's construed, remains seen. This can be a detailed description of methods I remove a tree stump having a professional stump coffee grinder.

You will see deviations out of this primary subject, also describing my reasons, methodology, and occasions which brought to the current action taken. Unlike a lot of my stump grinding peers who've relied upon YouTube videos to show stump grinding, nobody has yet---so far as I know--- written a definitive procedural description around the salient points of the operation, for placement on view domain.

It's understood there are lots of other views with lots of other variations in procedure, reflected by variations of apparatus types. My aim of basing my procedural description having a modified Carlton 2300 stump grinder, would be to make it simple, without all of the "features" of contemporary stump grinding machines.

However, this old (1997) model continues to be updated having a Lombardini diesel engine allow it performance approaching modern machines. I've added numerous my very own "features" by means of various gauges that we feel are essential to achieve an over-all knowledge of machine performance. Further, traditional finger type cutter teeth are utilized. This can be a personal preference according to cost alone.

I additionally recognize the OEM enhancements designed to modern stump grinders, and don't intend of these writings to decrease individuals enhancements in almost any conceivable way. Again I re-emphasise using a classic model Carlton 2300 would be to make it simple regardless of the below listed changes towards the machine.

My wish, and hope is the fact that a number of this can spark additional ideas and enhancements to elevated safety, and productivity inside a potentially hazardous operation. Stump grinding is inherently a dangerous operation to individuals, pets, and property.

The scope of the procedural description assumes a knowledge of all necessary safety equipment, and can only make periodic mention of the such equipment inside the context of my operational method and procedure. I'll start with a summary of modifications designed to this old Carlton 2300 including reasons:

brackets for securing a couple.5 mtr. horizontal, ton light mast in the machine's top, and along its length. When working any distance from base, It is not economical to accomplish employment on the second go back to site if you'll be able to complete within one journey. Winter nights in the solstice within England, begins at approximately 16:00. Working in a couple of extra hrs at nighttime, creates a considerable financial savings. This motivated installing of a ton light attachment. towards the machine.
