DK2 Power Stump Grinder In Use

[@BioHazardra]

i have one of those too that i picked up used pretty cheap for $800. it is a bear to move that is for sure. i think the main thing is the rubber flap touching the ground ive considered cutting relief slits into it to see if that would make it any easier. im going to try to make a little money with it but i figured if i dont want to keep it i could flip it for a little profit fairly easily

[@benjimandover8072]

Make long sweeping passes...it cuts best if you start out on the right and sweep to the left... work from on side to the other don't switch sides it will leave you with a sharp point in the middle

Excellent video! I have a similar dosko unit it will work you out for sure lol

[@texasproud3332]

Good video I was wondering how far down does someone have to grind to get grass to grow on top of the stump

[@HandyGuy2016]

I think the minimum is 3" on a dead stump, 6" or more on a green one. Honestly, the deeper the better.

[@myke_bota7590]

Thank you for another great video. How do you charge for grinding? Do you remove the shaving as well? If so, how would you charge for that.

[@HandyGuy2016]

I'm just starting into stump grinding, so I am charging by the hour mostly. I do clean up the chips unless the client wants to leave them.

I have one bolts sheard off of 4 of the teeth. Within 30 mins of using it. Bolts look pretty cheep. Tried to find replacement bolts either the head is to big for the bolt slot or the threads are to big to fit in the opening holes. The manufacturer offered to send me new bolts but I'm looking for something that will last. Do you have an idea of where I could find such bolts? Thanks

[@HandyGuy2016]

Grade 8 at a hardware or farm supply store.

[@fwade115]

@@HandyGuy2016 I think these are special sizes, tried different types of grade 8. Either the head is to big are the bolt diameter is to big. Thought you might have a specific bolt you use. Thanks anyways. I will keep searching.

Feel like it’s take a little bit time but still get the job done pretty good

[@HandyGuy2016]

Yeah, it's about what I expected for a small stump grinder, but I already have more work lined up for it 😁

[@kennethrobinson1672]

Is the stump grinder worth it ,the time and money ,,,i was thinking about purchasing one

[@HandyGuy2016]

It's a good side gig to my lawn care business, not something I would want to do every day but every once in a while.

[@select20]

I'm in the market for one of these. I have never owned one but we live in the country now and have about 30 stumps to grind down. It will be cheaper for me to buy a stump grinder like this than pay someone. We will have more stumps in the future also. After using, do you recommend this model? or a self propelled?

[@HandyGuy2016]

I recommend it but if you can afford a self propelled model, it will be a lot easier on you to use.

[@select20]

@@HandyGuy2016 Awesome, thanks for the reply. After looking around today, i went with the model you show here.

[@billmcgimpsey7454]

I just bought one and got a pretty good deal on a brand new one. I love the convenience and knowing that I can grind any time I want, but honestly I could have rented one and done everything in one day. 200 dollars vs 2000 but I do like having it.

[@select20]

@@billmcgimpsey7454 Yeah I know what you mean. If I had a somewhat limited amount of stumps, then I would've rented also. Since my comment, we did purchase this model. I could've gone with a self propelled maybe, but I figured it would be good for my boys to learn how to handle it, if in the future they decide to try and grind a few stumps for money. I've done about 10 stumps and am happy with the purchase. It is a bit of a bear to push around, but I don't mind the work out, that way I feel like I'm getting work done and getting my heart rate up. I said 30 stumps, but now we're looking at well over a 100 over the next year.

I have seen a lot of complaints of poor customer service for the DK2 product line, have you had the same experience?

[@HandyGuy2016]

I have not had any customer service experience yet, good or bad.

[@beege1968]

How long did it take you from start to finish including the clean up

[@HandyGuy2016]

Between 45 & 60 minutes

[@DiegoMarroquin-tu5tx]

Do you have a full video in real time?

[@ProfessionalDad]

can you put a weight on the front?

[@HandyGuy2016]

I'm sure it could be done.

[@Walshslandscaping]

Nice video

[@HandyGuy2016]

Thank you

[@gregmccarter2176]

Well as usual the music killed the video..and not seeing some in real time operation 😕
