I climb and cut trees for a living and have been around stump grinders for 20 years. Hire someone who grinds stumps for a living. For the cost of your rental, you can hire someone to handle the whole job while you sit back and watch. And he will take less time than it would take you to pick up the machine and bring it back home. And someone who does it for a living will do a better job than you will also, he can get all of the stump without missing spots.

Rocky,
I may take your advise and hire a pro. Found a local guy that charges $2.00 an inch or $75.00 minimum charge. Cost would be same as rental fee with no work.

P.S.

If I charged $2.00 an inch for my services it wouldn't cover the cost of the gas to get to the job site.
