We often are asked about the time required to grind a stump.
The truth is, stump removal with a tractor stump grinder has too many variables to give an exact time.
The variables are often nuanced.
What species of tree is the stump?
Some tree stumps are softer wood that cuts at a much faster pace.
Red Maple stumps, for example, are softer but grow a large above-ground or near ground-level root ball.
This type of stump removal moves fast, but there is much more to it.
A Tulip Poplar is one of the easiest in our area.
The wood is soft, and the root system grows deep.
The one thing I hope your take away from this is the value of owning a stump grinder on a homestead.
We are developing land ourselves, and the cost of paying to commercially remove stumps is astronomical when you take into account how many we will have to remove over the next couple of years Also, It is fun and self-gratifying to see the stumps cut down.
