Stump grinding can be tough. I'd get an estimate from someone with
a bigger stump grinder. That will be more powerful and faster. It
will also likely go deeper if you plan to clear out the organic
material and create a better base for an expanded driveway.<br>
<br>
The grinder also weighs 250lb, so keep that in mind if you have to
lift into a truck. You are likely to need a helper using the
grinder as well to rake away the cuttings while you grind.<br>

<div>We recently had a couple of trees cut down to improve the
driveway access to my new garage. One was fairly large and the
total stump is about 2' by 3' (at some point, the tree had a
second trunk). We're getting an estimate to have the stumps
ground down, but as usual, I'm considering doing it myself, even
though I've never used a stump grinder before. How hard is it?
Can a 65 year old guy - in reasonably good shape for a 65 year
old guy - safely handle one? Can a basic rental unit like Home
Depot carries (<a

moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.homedepot.com/tool-truck-rental/mobile/Stump-Grinder/SG1314B/</a>)
handle something this big in multiple passes? And more
specifically: how likely am I to regret the decision if I decide
to do it?</div>
