[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 28965, member: 307"] Your loader has 16.9 gpm at 3000 psi, which in theory gives you 29.5 hp, less about 10% , that you can apply to grinder wheel. So you should be able to compete with grinders up to 25 hp. You will have the advantage of being more mobile at the job site. But will find that is none to much if you just want to grind stumps all day. Your loader will meet the specs for the standard flow units and has higher pressures in its favour, (most mfgs state a min flow, but don't tell your that the pressure is just as big of a factor that contributes to your max hyd hp) The biggest advantage I find for the skidsteer stump grinder is I can offer more services then just stump grinding when I go to a customers. For just a few stumps your cost to move is going to be a bit high, and without hi flow, you won't be able to compete with the big grinders in terms of speed. But if you can go and fix the drive, till the garden, etc, and do the stumps, then you have a edge. Grinding time also varies greatly on the species of stump, A oak stum takes twice as long as a poplar or spruce for me. Fortunately most of the tree here are softer species. Something else to consider. Ken [/QUOTE]
