I took the stump grinder out and used it to mow down weed trees. It works on small trees too, so now I don't even need a chain saw for the small stuff.
Main disadvantage of mowing over trees with the stump grinder is the trees try to fall on me.
Man it drinks gas, it runs wide open all the time.
I changed the oil, I only have about an hour or 2 of run time on it but what ever this engine was used for before I bought it, it was ran hard the oil was black and metalized looking. I got no problem changing the oil a few time to hopefully flush out years of psst neglect.
It's like I built a miniature version of the machine in the movie fern gully that clears the rain forest.
