Small stump grinders, how slow?

[Russell]

I've been asked about removing a 600mm diameter stump. All I can hire locally is one of those 13 hp jobbies. How long would it take on a stump like that?

You would have it in a hour I would've thought unless it's some paticulerly hard wood and the teeth are sharp there a good bit of kit but just a bit of a handfull

I prefer the idea of a stand on skid steer with grinder attachment but their mega money.

The little 13hp will do it and give you a workout at the same time, but make sure it is sharp when you pick it up or you’ll quickly get sick of it!!!
