Your logic on rebuilding that machine is on point. You really do give some great business advice. Love watching your videos, and I wish you well.

How many hours is on it and were there aby other issues since 2011? I'm looking to get a new RG 55 for myself

I had 19 stumps.. 24-28 inch pine ..Atlanta, Georgia grinded for $850.. I think i got a fair price

Nice job sir!

Great instructional. I'm trying to figure out how to make a new hydraulic line for my Kubota excavator. At the end of the 1/2 pipes are braze on fittings that accept 1/2 BSPP male thread. I can't figure out where to find these fittings. Can you offer a clue?

Hey Chris, I’m currently trying to get started in the grinding business and Iv watched a lot of your videos and they have really helped. I’m trying to stay out of debt but I’m having a hard time finding an affordable machine, I’m down in cullman Alabama and I can’t find anywhere around that sells used equipment. do you have a suggestions? Am I looking in the right places? Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Those root balls never go back into the ground exactly where they were originally. You generally have to grind roots extending out all the way to the perimeter of the root ball.

I was given a 1963 Vermeer 630a with a Wisconsin motor 5 months ago and I’ve fixed all the hoses,new gas pump,up to date maintenance,all gaskets and it was totally worth it.ive done 12 stumps so far and really enjoying it😀

Chris, I have the same machine. I would like to know what your final cost is when you finish. Thanks man!

I agree with you. Look forward to videos of you rebuilding it.

Chris, how many hours did that engine last? Many thanks

Sams Chris I like the old school grinders got a Vermeer 382 self driven but don’t like the fancy things about it miss the rayco rg1635d

motor not to bad on them. Just lining up the pump is the hardest part when putting it back in. definitely smarter replacing motor than buying another machine or rebuild , my personal opinion.

Hell a new one is 80k! That's why

The biggest reason is if you spent even $30k to rebuild this grinder from top to bottom you can’t touch a grinder brand new equivalent to that one for under $60k

No fun but tear into it and get it going, more stumps are waiting; so are we. Good luck and thanks for all the videos.

Good idea on the rebuild route. Even your automobile, if it been good andeliable it's still cheaper to rebuild vs. new. And it's paid for.

Clean that Glass please ! LOL

curious how you would price a job like this one? Thanks!

And if a full day is $300 then a half days 150 keep that in mind also

I’ve seen results . It’s the marketing more than anything

How heavy is that stump grinder ?

How far can a new teeth life last do u have to change them frequently..

Wise words and well said! God bless you man

thick

takes balls going way up there.

hell yea

Chriss man going through those stumps like hot butter. I just picked up a 2008 Rayco 1625. Needs some work. What teeth do you recomend?

Not knocking the RG50 at all. Its a decent unit for sure,but i belive if i had one,the first thing i would probably do is remove that useless lexan. I dont know exactly how long they stay translucent,but everyone of them ive seen are yellowed so bad . I would replace it with a small hole sheet of expanded metal. That would keep out bigger chunks of stump,rock ect ect from hitting you while allowing you to still see thru it. One's PPE can stop the smaller debris. It would be better than having to look around as most have to do. Love your videos

That’s some good looking soil! My plants would love it!

Jesus u push your grinder to hard 😮😮😮😮

I take them down to a minimum of 10, max 15

This is the smartest way to get rid of a tree stump. I am a great believer in using a professional for chores that can be dangerous or time consuming. A pro like this has the equipment and the experience to do a quick and 100% effective stump removal. Burning a stump is so "neanderthal" 👈🏾

Wow, I would never have expected that to happen. Glad your okay.

That’s crazy. You ok?

I'm glad you didn't get hurt brother

350 for a day, I assume.

Man, you can definitely operate that grinder like a pro.

because the only reason you want a stump is for beheadings?

Ah yeah gravy job there!!

Hope you’re ok

Another day another dollar

What a set back. I hate that happened. You can say the same thing i do atleast when something happens. "Well atleast she's paid for"

Hello, thank God nothing happened to you. In such a business it is also necessary to have a spare machine. greetings

Wow. That’s awful!! What’s the plan now ?

Sorry that happened my guy. I thought you had that freshened up recently too. Hopefully it’s not so bad. Good luck.

What happened please?
