How Does Stump Grinding Work?

Imagine a powerful machine with a chomping disc, ready to devour wood. That’s essentially a stump grinder. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Meet the Grinder: The key component is a high-speed rotating disc equipped with razor-sharp carbide teeth. This disc is what grinds the stump into oblivion.

2. Grinder Takes Position: The grinder is strategically placed over the stump, lowering the disc for a precise attack.

3. Let the Grinding Commence! As the disc spins rapidly, it chews away at the wood, transforming the stump into a pile of chips.

4. Systematic Removal: The operator meticulously maneuvers the disc across the stump, grinding it down layer by layer until it’s vanquished – typically, a few centimeters below ground level.

5. Goodbye Stump, Hello Smooth Surface: By the end, the entire stump and some larger surface roots are history, leaving you with a flat, usable area.
