Planer - Skidsteer

RSS Skidsteer models have a Stump Planer tool that is designed to mount using a Skidsteer plate. The RSS model operates at a low RPM so that chips are contained during the operation with very little mess to clean up. Ideal for urban areas or confined spaces, the Stump Planer requires less power as it does not produce as fine material as a high speed cutting wheel. This enables larger stumps to be ground faster with smaller carriers, creating better mulch for other small trees. The Stump Planer tool features a hardened replaceable tip for extra-long wear and sharpenable cutting blades.

How it works

proper operation

Step 1

When positioning the planer on a stump that is larger than the larger blade diameter, it is important to begin cutting from one side rather than the center. Shear down using the smaller leading blades until your cut is complete.

Step 2

After your first cut is finished, start a new cut on the other side of the stump still using the smaller leading blades to make the cut.

Step 3

Continue to move around the perimeter of the stump making more cuts. Do this until there are no outer ridges left on the stump.

Step 4

Once the center area is smaller than the diameter of the larger blades, a final center cut is made using the larger cleanup blades to finish the job.

CAUTION

When using the planer on a larger stump, if you begin cutting directly in the center of the stump, you will bore a center hole, leaving a ridge around the outer edge of the stump. If you do this, it will be difficult to properly cut the outer edges, instead you will just break off small chunks.
