Huge Stump Grinder Tiny Tractor, Will the Subcompact Tractor Survive This Grinder?
Overview
This video specifically tests a 34-inch direct-drive stump grinder on a John Deere 1025R subcompact, directly addressing viewer questions about whether the smaller tractor can handle it. It goes deeper than a typical walkaround: multiple stumps are ground on camera, the grinder's pull-into-stump problem is demonstrated and a directional solution explained, tooth design and efficiency are discussed in practical terms, and a $5,000 list price is mentioned. Best for 1025R owners weighing this specific grinder purchase.
