A well-built Kohler grinder with key start and a long warranty, for frequent use. It costs a little less than the MechMaxx SG380 Kohler but does not swing across the stump.
Amazon $2,379.99The SG380 for a buyer who values a name-brand engine and local service. Otherwise the Ducar version does the same work for less.
Amazon $2,699A strong value for a property with stumps spread out: deep cutting and a tow bar for well under $1,500 at WoodSplitterDirect.
