Targeted for customers who need to remove large stumps in a short time, the Rayco RG165T-R Stump Cutter is able to maneuver in tight areas with retractable tracks, allowing the ability to pass through a 36” (92 cm) gate and widen out for stability. The 165-hp (123-kW) gasoline engine meets emissions requirements without the need for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). A handy backfill blade makes clean up afterward easy. Plenty of horsepower and torque allows maximum use of the cutter wheel to get jobs done quickly.

What should I consider before buying a stump cutter?

Factors to consider include the size of stumps you need to remove, the terrain and accessibility of your work area, the power and capacity of the machine.

What size stumps can a stump cutter handle?

Stump cutters can handle stumps of various sizes depending on the machine's size and power. Generally, they can grind stumps ranging from a few inches in diameter up to several feet in diameter.

How long does it take to grind a stump?

The time it takes to grind a stump depends on its size, type of wood, and the power of the stump cutter. Smaller stumps can typically be ground in a matter of minutes, while larger and more complex stumps may take longer.

What are the advantages of using a stump cutter?

Stump cutters efficiently and effectively remove stumps, eliminating tripping hazards, preventing regrowth, and clearing space for new landscaping or construction projects. They also reduce the physical effort and time required compared to manual stump removal methods.

Can stump cutters be used in residential areas?

Yes, many stump cutters are designed for use in residential areas. Smaller, more maneuverable models are available that can access tight spaces and minimize disruption to surrounding landscaping.

How do you maintain a stump cutter?

Maintenance typically includes regular checks of oil levels, sharpening or replacing carbide teeth on the cutting wheel, checking hydraulic fluid levels, and inspecting belts and hoses for wear. Following the manufacturer's maintenance schedule is important to ensure the machine operates efficiently and safely.
