I have a couple dozen stumps bugging me for years. I look forward to nibbling them down this week. I found a McClane commercial edger for a negotiated bargain of $100, bought 2 Diablo Demo Demon blades for $30 on the way home. The local lawn guys wanted $600 to do the stumps. Thanks for an affordable alternative idea!

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hello and Welcome to the Channel . I have removed quite a few stumps here on our property and like how easy the little machine is to move around . Sounds to me that you got a good bargain for your edger and have fun getting the stumps out of your way . Thanks for Watching

[@davidmudge9173]

I TRIED THIS MY BLADES ARE OPPOSITE AND IT STILL WORKED GREAT NO MORE STUMP TO CATCH MOWER DECK ON . THANKS BRO 😬

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Good Evening and You Are Welcome . This thing saves a lot of damage to the mower and is fun to work with . Thanks for Watching

[@davidmudge9173]

Yep definitely cool and fun to work with . Gonna use it on a couple roots protruding from the ground tomorrow

[@thomasnappo6309]

Good for very small stumps..😊😊

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Yes perfect for small stumps and easy to transport. Thanks for Watching

I purchased the TroyBilt edger last fall and just today started using it. I mounted my two top quality carbide blades, they're the ultra thin type. I'm thinking thicker blades would be better. Also the blades don't like to stay lined up. They weren't cheap so I'll stay with them. I can see getting the sweep right is key. I did my first stump standing up and got a lot of squealing due to the blades locking-up on the stump. So I found you again to learn the error of my ways. I'll get my chair and plywood.

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hello, sounds like you just about have this tool dialed in and setting in a chair makes controlling the blades a lot easier. Good luck with your project and Thanks for Watching

[@marcmarrero3]

I love this video, great idea! Thank you for sharing.

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hello , thank you the little grinder works well I am glad you liked it and Thanks for Watching

[@marcmarrero3]

I am new to your channel and I just have to say thanks a bunch. I have been watching your reviews on the Mule and have been so impressed with it. I just bought myself one and will be taking it out to my property.

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Welcome to the channel , Oh Boy you will like the Mule I now have 75 hours on mine and its has been getting better on fuel and power now that the break in period is just about over . Again Welcome to the channel thanks for the comments and Thanks for Watching you never know what we will do next LOL .

I got a hart 40v trimmer with an edge trimmer attachment and might try this out.. perhaps a shaped piece of wood can keep me from placing a foot near the cutting area ... I think attaching something like plexiglass as a secondary guard might be prudent in case carbides break off

[@joesanchez3646]

I did the same job with a skill saw by hand😎

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hello, I bet that worked well for you. Thanks for sharing and Thanks for Watching

[@jdboatrigr12470]

Great Idea and video. I would only offer that Eye protection is a very good idea. Cheers

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Thank you.

[@astrono_mee]

Nice idea , I mounted a chain saw blade on my trimmer and did the same , can you please link the blade brand you using

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hello Sam, the blade's I have on are 7-1/4-inch 40 teeth carbide tip blades and any brand will do. When the blades make contact with the soil, they will remain sharp longer than the chainsaw blades do. I hope this helps and Thanks for Watching

[@astrono_mee]

@@AskDaddyjoe It did helped , thank you so much !

[@jasonscott1611]

Got a dumb question, if anyone can answer for someone who has never used an edger...does the nut on the edge of the blades have some locking mechanism? Looking at making this for myself as I have a ton of little tiny stumps that need going. Thanks!

[@AndrewWilliams-ls9cp]

Could you put more than 2 blades on the machine. Maybe like a dado blade?

[@shawnrichardson5527]

Can you show exactly how you modified this and list what parts and where to buy in the description. Step by step would be huge and instill confidence when attempting to mimic your results.

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hello Shawn and Thank You . This little stump grinder works great for removing stumps or large roots that grow from the ground and reek havoc on your lawn mower . I have several video's on the channel that show this tool in action and how I put I together . Good Luck with your yard work and here is the link for the video that may help you . kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6Gxf6OcZcZmoLs . Thanks for Watching .

[@joshloughner847]

Great video, Joe! Definitely a cost effective way to grind down a stump. Those commercial grinders can get rather costly depending on the size of the job. I have a feeling that cedar might be used for the bridge?🤔 Enjoy the nice weather, buddy!

[@joshloughner847]

Well now how did I miss the last video? I guess that answered my question on the cedar tree.🤣 Oops.

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hello ,you are right about the price of commercial grinders , I have done a lot of work with little tool and still running the same two blades lol ,The weather is nice and I hope your getting some to and Thanks for Watching

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Just Like the Mule I work pretty fast lol 🤣

[@larrymorgan2635]

Use a dado stack set from a table saw.

[@darktoadone5068]

Wish I had an edger like that but mine is held like a weed trimmer. So I bought a root hog that installs on the end of it.

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hello. Being able to transport either tool so easily is a win and removing the stump saves the mower Thanks for Watching
