Using your Auger Stump Planer is a breeze. First, make sure you have the right equipment. If you're using the 14' planer, you'll need a 'High Flow' skid steer or large excavator. Once you're set up, position the planer on the stump. The rotating blades will start to work, pulling the planer deeper into the stump and creating a pile of wood shavings. To completely remove the stump, reposition the planer to overlap the first hole and repeat the process. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the blades for wear and tear. If they're damaged, replace them with the appropriate replacement blade as listed in the product details. And don't forget, if you need any accessories, just give us a call. With proper use and care, your Auger Stump Planer will serve you well for a long time.
