Stump Grinding with a Compact Tractor

Overview

Brock takes his John Deere 2038R to a real cleanup job at his daughter's house, grinding three stumps including one roughly 25 inches in diameter with a Baumalight grinder. The video follows the full day's logistics, trailering the tractor, hauling logs, working on a slope, and adapting when he forgot a chainsaw. Good for owners curious how a compact tractor handles real-world stump grinding conditions.

An owner-operator channel that films actual paid and personal jobs, so expect candid, unscripted field work rather than a polished product demo.
