Bandit SG-40 Stump Grinder 60 Hour Review

[@jaythe306snowmexican]

The best part is they fit through gates in a yard. That is this biggest thing we took into consideration with the vermeer sc30tx

Ya, for sure. Beats taking a fence down

[@josephparker7278]

took the guard right off immediately haha... this is our bread and butter for most small/medium stumps. We had the previous model and the green teeth wheel was slower and more of a pain. Bandit also fixed the belt tensioner system for the cutter head belt too. great machine! enjoy it :)

@josephparker7278 I may have to take mine off, too. It is a great machine.

I have an sg40 also. what I did was took two 1100 series stations 180° apart and use them so basically I'm like grinding off a four teeth I've shared off the bolts on the 900 series teeth a few times it works just fine the way it is now stumps in South Florida. oh yeah I've been hit in the shin by debris coming off that wheel tears to your eyes

I always grind with shin pads, they are like cricket pads with with hard plastic, they cover from boot to above knee. You can get them from saw shops or online as they are used by yard guy that slash brush. Got them myself after a copped a stone to the shin off my stumper and ended in a lump for a few months that made it painful to do up my ski boot that winter.

What’s the average time for a 24-36” stump?!?

[@PoplarMechanic]

I never really timed it, but depending on wood type and roots, it could be 20 mins to an hour

[@jamescolton1085]

Cost to replace the wheel ?

[@PoplarMechanic]

I think it was about 2200 cad with a set of teeth on it

Well explained 👏
