Overview
This video follows first-timers learning to operate a Vomalet 1P24 stump grinder on a tough ash stump, mounted on a John Deere 2038R. It covers throttle settings, bite depth, side-to-middle technique, and a frank comparison of grinding versus backhoe extraction. The grinder's direct-drive, 540 RPM design is briefly explained. Best for owners weighing whether a budget stump grinder is worth adding to their compact tractor setup.
