Need an education on this “665” stump grinder

Cartoondude135 ยท 2024-07-12 20:03

13:42 I'm just looking for functional background props to add to Construction Simulator. I just recently stumbled upon this... is it a stump grinding machine? This primitive looking contraption is perfect! It looks like a mechanized oscilating circular saw . What makes this contraption unique is that it can move forwards and backwards somehow on just two wheels ! It also is just the right height. So this will fit my movie scene perfectly! Why do I say it's "primitive looking"? It's not only moving on just two wheels, it's engine is also installed above the circular blade and the circular blade has handles on it's blade guard. But what are it's controls? Like... what do those four levers do? What's in that small hatched compartment the operator just reached into as he was preparing to leave? Etc.

    I'm a little stumped on the "tongue". Which part of this machine is the tongue?

    This stump grinder is built on a two wheeled trailer. The tongue is the part of the trailer which attaches to the tow vehicle. In your video the grinder is attached to the yellow dump truck. This video shows it from the other side attached to a pickup;

    Those type of stump grinders are not very popular anymore. They are very limited in the areas they can work. A fenced backyard would be a no no. Most folks now, buy the hydraulic-powered, self propelled machines. These can easily access most any stump location.
