Among the most critical elements of the stump grinder is the cutting blade. It is also the most
subject to damage and wear. In the course of grinding stumps it not only makes contact with the
wood, but also encounters numerous abrasives and objects in the stump’s environment, such as dirt,
stones, large rocks and buried scrap.
The loss and wear of cutting teeth can significantly impair the efficiency and performance of the
stump grinder. Therefore, it is important to make frequent inspections of the condition of all the
