Attach stump grinder to tractor. See Attaching Stump
Grinder to Tractor in this section.
Note: All cutting is done on the front side of the cutting
wheel, not the bottom of the wheel.
If the stump is on a grade, position tractor lower on the
grade with the cutting wheel on the stump grinder higher
up the grade.
Below is an approximate cutting time for the stump
shown in the image on the next page.
20 Hp tractor - 30 minutes
30 Hp tractor - 20 minutes
40 Hp tractor- 15 minutes
Operation should be smooth and grinding should be done
gradually. If the stump grinder is jumping or bouncing off
the stump, you are applying too much force. Applying too
much force will shorten the life of the cutting teeth and
may damage the stump grinder.
Entanglement in a rotating driveshaft can
cause serious injury or death.Keep tractor
shields and driveshaft shields in place at
all times. DO NOT operate without drive-
shaft guards.DO NOT wear loose fitting
clothing.

unexpected movement:
1. Park tractor on a level surface.
2. Engage tractor park brake.

Never operate stump grinder when other
people are in the vicinity. Debris can be
thrown several feet from cutting area.
Keep all shields in place.

are in the vicinity.Do not allow riders on
