Eterra Vortex Skid Steer Stump Grinder Attachment  Description he Eterra Vortex Skid Steer Stump Grinder is built to grind stumps down to 18 inches below ground, giving operators the power to completely remove stubborn stumps and prepare the land for replanting or construction. At the heart of the Vortex is a high-torque radial piston motor, designed to convert 95% of hydraulic energy into horsepower. This means more power to the cutting wheel with less wasted energy, resulting in faster, more efficient grinding. The direct drive system with an oil bath enclosed hub eliminates the need for external couplers and constant greasing, keeping maintenance low and uptime high. The asymmetrical high-strength alloy steel wheel gives operators a clear line of sight, making it easier to position the grinder for precise cuts. This unique wheel design also spreads the workload evenly across the 12 replaceable cutting teeth, rock guards, and abrasion-resistant wear plates, extending their lifespan. Built from A572 Grade 50 high-strength steel, the Vortex is made to handle the toughest jobs. An elongated rubber chip guard absorbs impact and controls debris, keeping the work area cleaner. Whether you're clearing land, grinding out stumps after tree removal, or preparing a site for landscaping, the Eterra Vortex delivers serious cutting power without the maintenance headaches. NOTE: A case drain is necessary for this attachment's operation to prevent motor failure. See also, The Excavator Vortex and the Mini Skid Steer Vortex Features

I run a Christmas tree farm. This unit takes 1-2 minutes (depends on the size) to grind a stump 6" below grade. Just what I was looking for.

This is the best grinder ever! This grinder met every expectation. I took out 14, two to three-foot diameter, two-foot-tall, Cottonwood stumps in a little more than half a day and that is with me learning to run a skid I wasn’t familiar with. The only reason I would rate this equipment as good is because there isn’t an excellent option.
