My brother lives next door to where
I am staying this summer. He cut down several trees around his home and wanted
to get rid of the stumps.
When I was younger I used to dig
them out by hand, but today one wouldn’t even think of doing that. Instead you
call a contractor that removes stumps and pay him for his service.
According to schedule a dump truck
pulling a stump removal machine shows up and backs over a stump.
His machine looked pretty old so I
asked him its age. He told me it was 75 years old and still runs well. Who says
you need new things. If you take care of what you got, and that includes your body,
they will last a long time and provide economical service. Abuse either the
machine or your body and you will pay for it.
I suppose you are wondering what the
guy is looking at.
He is guiding a high speed blade back
and forth across the stump, which grinds off some on each pass.
Looks like a nice easy job. I sure
work harder than that building the house.
It does a nice job grinding off the
stump.
The teeth are made up of carbide
heads on the bolts.
