Review: Baumalight Stump Grinder 5 Points to Consider

[@samgarofalo2461]

I bought mine from my JD Dealer, no I did not get a 5% discount, but my dealer had cut the PTO shaft length for my machine, I brought my machine when I picked it up. Dealer and I mounted it, and they walked me through it, took it home and went to work. Great investment

[@FloridaDeere]

They are a great attachment, I love mine, it has been attached to the tractor so much, I sold my ballast box. It's pretty small and reasonbly heavy, so it's good ballast, plus people always ask if I can grind stumps for them unsolicated. I just replaced the teeth on mine, I''' have another video on that coming up soon. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the information. I pick mine up next week 👍

[@FloridaDeere]

Awesome, you will find it very useful and if you do any tractor side hustle, it will be a money maker, if not, it will be a money saver. Thanks for watching.

[@walterfrazee8875]

Awesome and very informative video! Thanks for sharing.

[@FloridaDeere]

Thanks, I hope to have another stump grinding video coming out soon with some footage of times required to do certain size stumps, other pointers for the actual work and so on and so forth. However, as much material as I have, I never have time to edit it, so who really knows when I'll get it out🤷‍♂️🤔. Thanks for watching.

@@FloridaDeere I too have a 1023E and am thrilled with it. I have watch many of your videos and have learned from every one of the. Keep up the good work!

[@FloridaDeere]

@@walterfrazee8875 Thanks man, that's why I get on KZbin to see what others are doing, I'm just trying to spread how to do things and sometimes how NOT to do things...yep, I have one of those videos coming up. Thanks again for watching Walter.

I run mine behind 59 ac d17 they hand clutch makes it nice using it

[@FloridaDeere]

Thanks for watching.

[@chex313]

Nice vid, still thinking about getting one.

[@FloridaDeere]

Thank you and I appreciate you watching.

Thanks for the information I’m on the fence on which one to get baumalight or woodland mills I think woodland mills is cheaper

[@FloridaDeere]

Because I got the TTWT discount the Baumalight was cheaper. I've heard the Woodland Mills unit was 500# and the Baumalight is listed at 350#. One other guy said that was an advantage for Woodland Mills for it's ability to grind into the earth better. I can tell you I've never had an issue. I think either way you go, you can't go wrong. Someone also said that the Woodland Mills was Chinese, but I believe both are made in Canada, so I think that info was wrong. Baumalight is definitely Canadian.

[@Thecowboy1950]

I wish I had one

[@kennethrini2932]

September 2022 that grinder was $3,800 plus shipping

[@FloridaDeere]

Yep, I've seen them from $3599 to right around $4000 recently, that's dealer pick-up as my local Deere dealership is now a Baumalight retailer. Thanks for watching.

[@KevinBentley-k8d]

Has anyone bought the extension kit? I've found that if I go too deep, the driveshaft separates. I just don't know if that 3" extension makes that much of a difference. Especially at $300...

[@kennethrini2932]

September 2022 that Grinder is now $3,800 from Baumalight. I was going to buy this one BUT???? Woodland Mills was $2,399 still.

[@FloridaDeere]

Yes, it is a hard decision in a way, the Woodland Mills is Chinese, which explains the cost difference. Baumalight is Canadian. I just did another video with both, but need to do a more extensive video with both in regards to performance. The WM I picked up for a buddy who wanted it, so I have both now. Both appear to be good, I just avoid Chinese stuff when I can, but the price difference does make it harder. I do think they can be found for $3599, but again, that's still a bit more pricey than teh WM. Thanks for watching.

[@kennethrini2932]

@@FloridaDeere Don't they both come out of Canada? Someone posted they were both Chinese made, but I don't know that for sure. If they want to protect American jobs the only solution is Inport tariffs that make them cost the same at the cash register. Harley Davidson got Congress to pass a law on Foreign bikes over 1000 cc's and that saved Harley. I like to save money too but Thanks to the Globalist Politicians in both parties they sold American's out

[@FloridaDeere]

@@kennethrini2932 Baumalight is made in Canada for sure. I do believe in buying American, whenever I can, but I believe foreign competition is good and keeps American companies on their toes. I buy Fords and John Deere, but happy for Japanese and German competition to make sure American companies don't get sloppy like they did in the 70's and 80's. Now, I also believe that our products shouldn't be hampered in foreign markets too and that dumping here in also bad. I avoid Chinese products like the plague anytime I can. Their political and economic systems are anti-capitalism and anti-American and I will buy around the globe to avoid their crap. Having said that the Woodland Mill is a Chinese product, I just verified that from the actual company, they are designed and tested in Canada, but all their products are built in China. I do believe you are correct, many companies and politicians have sold out America and it's sad.

When grinding is it a good idea to start far enough away so that your grinding with the grain of the wood as opposed to trying to crosscut?

[@FloridaDeere]

Well, you sort of have to do both certain trees or rather stumps have a circular grain pattern. I mean you'll kind of grind across the stump, but from one side to the next, you'll be hitting the grain at different angles as you grind. I hope that makes sense. As I sit on the tractor, I try to grind from left to right, coming in from the side really. If you grind across the stump, the wheel likes to skip and that causes nothing but pain and suffering. And of course, you want to grind from back to front, but I'm sure you already got that. Let me know how it turns out and if I didn't answer your questions, try me again. I probably need to do a video that shows some level of technic specifically . Thanks for watching Bruce.

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

Do you think an X595 would lift high enough to operate one of these? I'm considering getting the Woodland Mills version but I'm wondering what the minimum required lift height is for the implement.

[@FloridaDeere]

Luke, stay tuned, my buddy Thomas has a X4/5 series tractor and my buddy Steven has a 455, on paper, those tractors should be able to easily run the Baumalight, which is almost identical to the Woodland Mills. I hope to have a video soon on that. As always, thanks for watching.

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

@@FloridaDeere Yeah, I'd like to know for sure. Feel free to come up to Savannah and try it on mine once I get my PTO installed :)

[@FloridaDeere]

@@LukesJohnDeereGarage Ha, if my local Deere friends don't get around to it, we may have to explore that possibility.

[@jerrymoote]

I was done as soon as he said “exspecially.”

[@josephghobrial8]

Have you had to sharpen the teeth?

[@FloridaDeere]

No not yet and they seem to cut still pretty well. I saw where someone else commented on another video they had used theirs for hundreds of stump and still had yet to replace any. Thanks for watching.
