My stump grinder (baumalight 1P24) is my second favorite attachment after the grapple used to move the trees out of the darn way. I've ground up probably 100-125 stumps in the last 2 years without an issue at all. cut the tree down low so you aren't wasting time grinding more than you have to. I generally cut the base as flush as I can with the saw and then only grind down 3-4 below grade. 24" stump will prob take 20 minutes once you get the hang of things.
However, if you're taking out 60 stumps of that size, I'd be way more tempted to purchase the 3P24 style. Can cover more ground in a much faster time. The back and forth does get extremely annoying & tiring after a few hours. Makes me want to install a cheap backup camera so I can sit normal. However, at twice the price for the 3P24, it wasn't a feasible option for myself.
Just know, if you do get a grinder, expect the neighbors and family members to request trees to removed.
