Making Stump Grinder 400cc
I built a machine for grinding / milling stump. I made a 350mm disc, and to drive the shield used gas power engine 420cc 15HP. I reduced the rotation on the disc. I reduced the rotation on the disk with teeth by using 120mm pulleys on the disc, 80mm pulley for the engine. In order for the machine to be safe, I made covers of thick sheets, brakes and an emergency switch that immediately turns off the machine.
The machine does a great job, the disk rotation is not too high or too low, easy to maneuver even in difficult terrain.

This was a wonderful example of the joy of do it yourself. I absolutely love watching someone that enjoys building something from scratch rather than going out and buying it. I used to do this myself and I can't understand the people that give a thumbs down,how can you not be impressed by the ingenuity and skills required to do this. Keep up the good work and thanks for the entertaining videos.
A person with the tools and knowledge is exciting to watch. Why has our education system done away with shop classes. Youth of America should pursue skill centers of there area, to learn trades. This man is only able to do this by his learning all these trades, like welding, metal lathe, laying out and fabricating parts, also electrical knowledge. Thank for the video. You would have made one of the best shop teachers around.
@@dbowtech6737 I’m apart the younger generation, and I love making things… they haven’t gotten rid of it. My peers just love technology at this point, don’t know why though I love getting my hands dirty that’s for sure.
probably the people disliking are tree hugging environment freaks, or random Karen's who just want to be butt-faces just cuz they can
I totally agree building stuff from scratch, its the best feeling in the world when the u get to use it for the first time and whatever the project is works the way it was designed,

Why aren't we funding this man?,he can start a whole company
Who are you talking to?
maybe he has a company
With the time in it he probably has 10 grand in it
Yeah probably could have used a chain saw
I run a stump grinding business, the trick is to always stay on the side of the stump so the teeth are cutting with the wood grain and not above it cutting across the wood grain. It cuts faster and your machine and teeth will last longer. Sweep across the side of the stump and down until you reach full depth, then move in for the next section. Cutting top down also causes chatter because too much of the disc radius is cutting.
it suck when english not your forte and it was double suck when you understand the word but not have a clue for what it means, triple suck if it was a tips/trick/hack
That sounds like a good topic for your own video, to illustrate the do's and don'ts of the best stump grinding technique. I'd watch it.

Pretty much the polar opposite of grabbing a shovel and digging it out. Loving this video, teaches me a tonne and no BS straight forward mad skills. Cheers from PNW Canada!
I can't explain it clearly, but I really enjoy watching a talented machinist build! Very well done here!
You’re either an engineer or just damn smart lol!! I love how people are trying to tell this dude how to make his machine better!! The guy just built a stump grinder from scratch!! Let’s see y’all try that.
The young guy is a very good tradesman I think he could build almost any thing he put his mind to 👌
All he did is copy one of the many commercially available small stump grinders that anyone can go out and buy.
Looks just like a store bought one and professional peace equipment.
He did great. If I had a shop, and all that machinery and tools, fabricating would be so sweet. I have all the stuff to repair most anything, and a couple welding outfits, but gotta have a nice shop to build good stuff.
I'm impressed with how fast it is. I think I would've lit them all on fire but that thing grinds below the surface nicely.
Thank you 😁
@@WorkshopFromScratch I agree but what about rocks? If it hits them would it ruin the blades?
@@DavidFlores-mt3bm I run commercial stump grinders for work, to answer your question, yes. If you hit rocks it will prematurely wear the tungsten carbide inserts and will chip them. A good operator can avoid mist rocks but some are inevitable. But in my opinion its still a better option than burning stumps. Its not as easy as it sounds and if you try and burn a stump and fail, that chared layer protects the remaining stump from decay for a lot longer than if you were to leave it alone.

The best of DIY !!! You can tell, by watching this build, that the builder of it LOVES it together! I understand exactly how you feel. You tell God what you need and God puts a finished machine, as an image, in your head and then God helps you build it. That's the way He does me. You LOVE things into being. You feel at home in the shop and aren't truly happy, unless you're building what's in your mind's-eye. And then the sheer pleasure of watching one of your creations work so well. ((Always remember to thank God for your knowledge, and creative talent. He loves that praise, just like you do!))

Beautiful to see someone take pride in their work. My aunt told me a job worth doing is a job worth doing right.
Dude, you need to put that into production! You would make millions!!
That was an amazing and totally functional build. Thank you for the inspiration.
That is another quality build. You should sell these. Very impressive.

@@WorkshopFromScratch how much did the parts cost you? Not including the motor from your lawnmower
I bought one a lot like that, and it worked great. I ground 11 big stumps. When all the stumps were gone, I didn't need it anymore, so I sold it for $200 less than I paid new. I was surprised by how often I had to sharpen the carbides. Great work, as usual!

That was great to see the entire build come together! Great design and execution.
Honestly my favorite part is the dead-man switch. Anyone can think to throw an engine into some contraption but not everyone thinks to put in simple safety measures. A+
It was really well built. Which part is the dead-man's switch?
It’s almost inconceivable to me that someone can design and build something so complex from scratch. What talent.
Hate to burst your bubble, but that thing is NOT complex. Cool? Yes. Complex? No.
Absolutely awesome friend, thank you for the step by step build
Perfect timing, I was about to go rent one this week. It amazes me that you always seem to have been building the exact machines I need at that moment you release a new video.. Thank you for sharing this one (and all the others)!
It turns out we have similar problems that can be solved by machines 😁 I'm glad you are watching, thank you 😁
@@WorkshopFromScratch I hope you make a welding table one day, these designs deserve to be made on a better table
I'm sure your still gonna go and rent one.
@@RHGHOUSTON13 I must admit that you are right, I did indeed rent one. After doing the math, it turned out to be less expensive to rent one for those 2 stumps I had to grind. It was the first time in 20 years that I actually needed one and I don't think I'll need one again in the near future but I would have loved to build one.
I didn't mean it in a bad way. I just figured with all of the time and effort, it would be easier and cheaper to just buy one. I bet it would feel really really good to actually build something like that but for somebody like me it will be almost impossible not having all the tools and a shop to build anything like that.
Great job brotha, I wish I had a shop like yours to build stuff. It worked very good too, that first stump was definitely a hard stump to get through, your machine just ate through it, great job!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing what you can make with a couple of hundreds worth of parts in a fully equipped workshop worth thousands and at least a decade of experience. I've got a hammer somewhere around the house.
Gotta learn to walk before you can run.
A hammer is a good start An understanding wife is the second thing you’ll need I got mine early on, best investment I’ve ever made
Also it works like this Sure dear I can fix/make that. I’ll need to buy a few things (tools) first
Thats a wee bit if an exaggeration... It takes skill, sure but hardly decades worth of experience... and as far as tooling; mayyybe $1000 worth of tools.
@@tonyborgman9857correction: you don’t “need” an understanding wife. You cannot do this with a TYPICAL western wahmerns as your wahmerns. When we see equipment and gear to make things happen- all she sees are handbags and stupid little dogs to put in those bags. And when, not “if”, but WHEN you need a job done- just take out a second mortgage to hire a “real man”, and stay in debt, working on the plantation until your heart gives out. So, can you tel I have been HAPPILY single for years now and laugh at my friends who unfortunately don’t have an “understanding” wahmerns?!!? Bwahahahaaa!!!!
i have watched a few of your videos now, you are a seriously talented geezer, is there nothing you can not make??? makes me wish i had paid more attention in my metal work classes in school, maybe i would have had a quarter as much skill as you. thank you for the uploads.
I was going to post an original comment about how impressive this machine is but all the adjectives have been used up - so I'll just hit the like button!
Thank you 😁
You sir are a genius. Great video for those who want to make a stump grinder.
Very well thought out. Makes it easier and cheaper when you have all the tooling to make it yourself.thanks for sharing
I always use a hand sander for my stumps. It takes a little longer, but the finished product is smooth.

I prefer a Stanley hand plane
Ok then 🤣. Or the red haired kid next door with the big buck teeth. Just saying 😐
Fantastic - So good to watch - So creative. I'd be more than happy with myself if one day I could do half of what this guy can do - Just incredible.
I was born to do this kind of work and why I’m a machinist by trade . It’s a satisfying line of work . Least I forget , NICE JOB !
I'm beyond impressed with your skills.and I bet this machine is better than a store bought one.
да ты просто МОЛОДЕЦ. Все просто и доходчиво.СПАСИБО.
My new goal is to plant trees all over my property just so i have a reason and purpose to make this! love it!
Hahaa
Okay real talk was the last one just fire wood you buried? I love the grinder. Always so happy when a diy Chanel recommendation turns out to be something amazing not another video on how to make bad pliers even worse but with blades!! Off to binge your entire catalog until my shop finally gets built.
Wow!! That blade is magic. I rented a Home Depot pos and it took me 5 hrs to do a similar stump from the beginning of testing.
Very innovative and probably time consuming, great job 👏.
Nice engineering technical skills. Safe working. Good tools. All together, a great final project!
Thank you 😄
Well done man. Building something yourself and having it work is its own reward!!! Keep up the great job!!!
Brother, I'll be honest, I was going to skip past your video but I'm glad I didn't....you are truly a jack of all trades ..amazing build
For something built at home, it certainly doesnt work like home built...more like professional machine! well done. Now, if we can just get the machine to go around and grind all the stumps by itself...... :)
Thank you 😁 Maybe someday I will build something like this 😂
Some extra cutting teeth on the side of the cutting disc might help with the side to side movement. Nice build 👍.
Thank you 😁
@@WorkshopFromScratch Now you need to rebuild it, so jump to planning desk, and work :D
I thought the same as you at first, but at that time the cost is increasing anyway, it is not a machine to be used all the time, so I think it is more important that it costs less
What a very well-thought-out project it is amazing! love it and now I want one lol!
That was one of the more satisfying videos I’ve seen on KZhead, especially when I have stumps to remove in my yard. Wish I could just throw one to together like that!
Damn, works better then store bought, engineering on point amazing job
Now that would make one hell of a BattleBot
Wouldn't it though??? That be awesome!!!
Look up Hypno-Disc on KZhead. it was one of the bots we had on Robot Wars in the UK that used a giant flywheel at the front that it spun up to use the kinetic energy to destroy other bots.
Didn’t expect to watch this at 3:30 am. Glad I did. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks!
Awesome work, loved the ingenuity shown and the result is excellent. Thx for sharing!
9:08 ... you should have drilled a couple of holes in that square tube so you could weld onto the large shaft insert too.. makes it a lot stronger (not that it really needs it).. And if you make the blade very heavy--- like maybe 4 plates thick, it won't be as hard on your engine if you hit something too hard. The heavier the blade, the better. Great build.
Thank you 😁
That thing works like a charm, first time I've seen anyone build one and you did an amazing job 👏
Thank you 😁
Wow…stump grinder and high speed rotor tiller!!!! Two in one. What a genius!!!
Great work! Had two Vermeer 252 stump grinders. Went out of business and sold them. Would love to have one of them back. Good job man!
Great vid your videos inspired me to get into restoration n I've already done 3 vintage chainsaws a mower an a rotary tiller

This man is definitely a master at his craft! Be neat to see what you would do with a CNC mill machine, probably build a Rocket. Just need a plasma cutter for those heavy duty steel plates? Badass!!😊👍👏
I absolutely respect your level of engineering and level of fabrication skills
The real Mean Machine!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
I'm not commenting to say how great your welds look, nor am I commenting to say how what you've made here looks like it should have just been taken off of an assembly line, and I'm definitely not commenting in absolute awe of how well this thing works. No. I'm commenting to say that wherever the hell you are in the world, you have amazing looking soil. I'm in southern Louisiana, living on a river delta, and even our soil doesn't look that nice. Our soil is clumpy with clay and if you dig down more than 3 feet you've hit water. The ground in your yard looks like it was just poured from a bag of Miracle Grow Potting Soil.
Thank you 😁 I'm from Poland :)

Thank you 😁
Wont last long if he hits the rock with those carbide teeth.
Fantastic workmanship. enjoyed seeing the build.
Why the hell has this got 3.4k downvotes? Excellent build and engineering. I presume the 3k people who downvoted are either jealous they can't do it themselves or are some kind of dead tree stump lovers.
Very nicely built! Although I think a stump remover with a geared shaft which turns horizontally like a big "screw" and peels off slices of the stump is much fastet and has much more power. I have used one if the big-wheeled stump routers before and with big freshly cut pinetrees it was simply too much. even though the thing had 20ish HP, it would stall and end up burning the wood but could not cut through. .There would be a HUGE market, if you could make one of those rotor style stump cutters for a couple thousand maybe - they are SUPER expensive! But really really good. We fell over 100 trees on out land and trust me - the difference in time/labour is not even funny.
Where would you get the screw shaft to make the one you describe?
It's an amazing opportunity to see and watch your ideas manifest to reality. AWESOME BUILD my friend!!! 👍👍
Thank you friend 😁
This a fine example of very talented craftsmen. Very impressed

A lot of time went into that machine and seems to work well. Your certainly talented and skilled.
Awesome build. Darlington, South Carolina USA
That was a great build, it is pity you couldn't get hubs and wheels with a matching stud pattern. A good follow up would be an adaptor, a feed mechanism to use it as chipper.
- Define overkill. Workshop from scratch: -Hold my beer!
Nice and safe - I like this stump grinder very much!
I really like seeing you use the shop tools you built on your new projects. That pneumatic vise is just the best idea, I have never seen anything like it anywhere else!
The sound track makes it look even more interesting.
Thanks 😁
@@WorkshopFromScratch 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The only thing i'd do a bit different is making it a double row. Yes, overkill for most common small trees, but i've always got better results whenever i rented the double row cutters vs single row (or single disk, if you will). Awesome build, in fact, i think this is even better than a commercial one, certainly doesn't shake half as much.
Double the blades, double the power needed, double the weight, double the cost.

Forget the stump grinder. I want this guys shop! Nice build.
I was really surprised by the power and speed. Im sure people would definitely buy your version.

Very nice build and strong cut but it is sped up video.
When I bought my first home in the late 1960s there were many stumps left from trees which had been felled after a blight, and the simplest solution to removing them was soaking the stumps with kerosene and burning them and filling the cavities with soil to level out the grassy areas.
but what he is cuting it a dry wood not a green wood
That thing is a beast no matter what direction you come at. Well done! Cheers.
An absolutely brilliant build! Keep doing what you do!
Thank you 😄
An impressive construct but for the sake of long-term engine health general safety and most importantly convenience, install a slip-clutch to allow you to disengage the cutter-wheel motion without killing the engine. +The clutch would save your engine from catastrophic damage if you were to hit an unmovable, un-grindable object (IE, an embedded iron spike)
It seems like the V-belts would just slip if something really locked up on either end. My commercial wood chipper seems to be designed to use the belts like a clutch.
