Stump Grinding with a chain saw. By David Termini part 1

[@kyleorr533]

I know this video is old but everyone suggesting a stump grinder...have you ever thought maybe someone is looking for this best way to do this themselves? I’ve got a stump that is between a foundation and a deck. You’re not getting a stump grinder back there and I’m sure as heII not burning it. I appreciate this video as it gave me an idea...meanwhile a bunch of knuckle dragging lumberjacks want to give this man grief 🙄

shut up

That's called the waffle pattern. Break the chunks out with a bar or wedge

[@DavidTermini]

No you made me hungry I’m just thinking about some waffles with maple syrup

[@sinistan1002]

as soon as the chain hits the soil it will instantly dull it

[@entrthedragon]

Use a couple of old chains to get it done. That’s $60 chain replacement, instead of $200 grind. Plus you get two new chains if the old ones wrecked.

Lot of work but if you got the time more power to you.Ive seen guys drill holes and pour something down them and they rotted away but was told it's a process.

[@wildlifewarrior2670]

I can't believe how many experts there are out there

[@joew9392]

I've tried that and it works for the most part but I have a stump that is really hard and I couldn't knock the pieces out. Guess I'll keep going with the chainsaw till nothings left of the stump.

[@DavidTermini]

Don't worry I won't put you out of business. I just had one to do. If I had a lot I would for sure call someone with the heavy machinery.

[@johngormley2192]

Watch win it rots. Tends to leave a deep hole.

You still got to use bar oil. I have tried them electric saws and they are trash in my opinion.

[@DavidTermini]

My Makita is an excellent electric chain saw,it cost about $280.A great machine for using inside the shop when I’m cutting up logs of wood to turn on the lathe,I’ve had this saw for over five years and it is excellent you want a good saw you’re gonna have to pay for it don’t buy the cheap crap

[@anthonyoverbee2049]

@@DavidTermini your right I might need to invest in a better one for in the garage

[@wildlifewarrior2670]

Then apparently you don't know how to use them because they are good

[@randquadrozzi1280]

No power.fine for some homeowners. I had a father who was scared of all gas engines.Sucked to be me as a kid doing our big yard with a push mower and hand clippers.

[@DavidTermini]

You get what you pay for very good one and you won’t regret it if you wanna go electric are use my generator and this Saul is unbelievable it’s a Makita

[@ncg2360]

$75 and I'm gone!

[@randquadrozzi1280]

Bro you work cheap with travel,labor,wear and tear and cleanup i had to get a 150$ or i didn't leave the driveway.

[@kangarojak]

please just hire or rent a stumpgrinder, would take less than five minutes

[@VladTheImpalerTepesIII]

In my area, stump grinding starts at $550 per stump. I don't make enough money to pay those kind of highway robbery prices.

[@kangarojak]

wow, might consider buying one and starting a small business?

[@inb4tehlulz]

That's beyond crazy. That's like a 50 dollar stump.

[@garywalker3947]

Grinding a stump is not as easy as people say or think....I have a small hand held grinder and yes I normally get $50 to $100 to grind a 20" stump......I will probably end up with a pto style grinder for the tractor soon since I am reaching my mid 40's......😎

[@jimbelflower6704]

I’ve done stump grinding for years. I got an oak stump in my yard I grinded on for 4 hours and still isn’t gone. Using chainsaw, axe and shovel now. Roots run everywhere and thick.

[@justinfleenor3022]

i could grind that stump at least 8'' deep in like 25 seconds i do applaud your diligence though. ;-)

[@DavidTermini]

+Justin Fleenor Thanks my friend. Just had the one and it was soft wood and with the chain saw was fun to do. If I had a lot I would call the professional for sure .

[@joew9392]

What do you normally charge for a job like that?

[@wildlifewarrior2670]

You're smoking some good stuff

[@chevyvictor]

To much talking no action

[@KRITORISS]

Electric power saw lmaoooooo nope
