Eterra Auger Stump Planer Description  The Eterra Auger Stump Planer is a cost-effective and high-quality accessory, designed to fit with Eterra 3500 and 4500 model auger drives. If you frequently encounter pesky stumps impeding your work, but not enough to warrant a dedicated stump-grinding machine, this attachment could be your solution. Instead of outsourcing stump removal, utilize your Eterra Auger to incorporate the Stump Planer onto your 2-inch hex drive.  This Stump Planer is compatible with any auger possessing a 2" Hex output shaft, given appropriate torque levels.  If you don't have a 2" Hex output shaft, consider our Eterra Auger Adapters. This planer is complete with three replaceable steel tool cutters that are able to be sharpened, and a starter tip with an 18" digging depth. Equipped with guides on the cutter's trailing edge, the planer does not recoil from the hole. The starter tip aids in pushing the planer through the stump, avoiding overload or jamming. Stump Planer Torque Requirements: Torque output depends on your auger drive's rating and your loader's hydraulic flow. For torque output information, refer to your auger drive's specifications or consult with the manufacturer. 10" Stump Planer Torque Range: 2,200-6,000 Ft. Lbs.14" Stump Planer Torque Range: 3,300-6,000 Ft. Lbs. **Please note: this accessory is not recommended for hard wood or green wood (fresh) stumps. Given appropriate torque levels, it's possible that this will work for you, but productivity may be limited. Give us a call to confirm how you will be using this stump planer and we will happily steer you in the right direction.** Features
Available in 10" and 14" sizes Attaches to 2" hex drive  Capable of boring up to 18 inches Compatible with auger extensions for deeper drilling Combine the 10" Planer with the Eterra 3500 Auger Attachment Combine the 14" Planer with the Eterra 4500 Auger Attachment

Fresh out of the box, I tried this drill on a 24" Hackberry stump. I don't know if the cutting blades are at the wrong angle or what, but it did not cut at all. It stalls out within a split second of the blades touching the stump. Do not by this attachment. I've emailed customer service the video. Initially, I got a respose asking if I wanted to speak with a representative, which I do, but I've follow-up 2-3 times via email to no avail. Very disappointed and will never recommend anything that Skid Steer Solutions has to offer

Works very well on older stumps that have been there for a couple years. I'm in the tree removal business and most of what we work with is green. I was hoping it would work better in that situation.

Hey Andy, Thanks for leaving a review. Sorry to hear that the Eterra Stump Planer is not handling all the stumps that you encounter. If you're working with the 10" model, the 14" is more heavy duty and may be what you need. If that's the model you currently have, don't hesitate to contact our customer service, as they may have tips or insights on strategy and how to get the most out of this attachment. We understand you are in the business and no doubt know what you are doing, but we are here for you and want to help you get the best bang for your buck. Customer service: cservice@skidsteersolutions.com or 866-966-2538. All the best, Skid Steer Solutions

The saw dust builds up between the screw and blades and won’t allow it to keep going into the stump

I work for a municipality. We do tree work along with other things. We have a regular stump grinder that will go to a depth of 16". We also plant trees after we have removed the old one. sometimes we have to plant a tree directly on top of an old tree (tree wells in town). We need the stump ground out completely to do this. This stump planer was purchased for this reason alone. We had so much success with this product, we now send it out as a stand alone stump removal tool, and have two machines working at the same time. Two thumbs up.

Hey Michael, That's fantastic. I haven't heard of this method before you just explaining it - planting trees on top of old stumps. We're sure glad the stump planer is the tool tool of choice to get these tricky jobs of yours done. Thanks so much for choosing SkidSteerSolutions.com and for leaving us some feedback. If you ever need anything else, like auger bits or parts for your stump planer, we'd love to help!
