Stump plane

[marhar]

Does anyone have experience with a stump plane like the one in the attachment? The seem costly and I will probably never buy one.

That is the first 3 point mount that I have seen.
I have watched a few YouTube videos of the skid steer versions:

They do the job. I had someone do two for me and worked great. Wouldnt buy one just for personal use unless you have many to do.
If so you could buy it....use it.... and sell it when done.

Danuser makes a smaller one to fit their hydraulic post hole diggers. Down pressure, forward reverse, gpm and pressure requirements.

Watch a PTO driven one in action at this link: Rotor S 15 – 25 Hp with drill.

Unlike the American buzz-saw stump grinders that turn at several hundred RPM, the vertical-axis European stump grinders turn at much lower RPMs and are unlikely to throw projectiles. Some of the videos show the augers used to grind stumps on the verge between curb and sidewalk; pedestrians walk by, and the windows of storefronts are unprotected. Any American contractor would have the sidewalk cordoned off and screens in front of any windows.

A coupe of the videos I had referenced in #7 with by-standers or nearby windows. First uses an open "drill"; second uses a core-type "cylinder" (Stump ejected near end.)

I wonder how they do on rocks.
