STUMP GRINDING PROCEDURE
The flywheel spins in a clockwise manner (when facing the rear of the machine) with the
effective cutting area in the lower-left quadrant as shown below:
Therefore, when grinding a tree stump, always start from the right side of the stump, moving
incrementally to the left, pulling the grinder straight forward through the stump on each pass.
When grinding softwoods like pine, spruce, or poplar, it may be permissible to remove upwards
of 2” (50 mm) of material per pass. However, hardwoods like oak, ash, and birch can be much
more dense and the depth of grind may only be up to 1” (25 mm). If the chassis is swaying like
described in the previous section, or the grinder is vibrating or bouncing, reduce the depth of
cut or feed rate accordingly.
