Stump Grinder NorthStar 390cc Honda GX390 EngineI just purchased this stump grinder a month ago and used it for a week on a piece of property our family is clearing. took out over 100 stumps and could not be more pleased. Most of the trees are cedar mixed with a few oak and the stumps ranged in size from 5-6" to 24" The smaller stumps were taken out in very quickly (less than 5 minutes) while the largest took about 20 minutes. I haven't used a stump grinder before so don't have anything to really compare with but I can't imagine a Dosko or some of the other brands working any better. This thing was a beast. I expect the more I use it, the more proficient I'll become. It is a bit heavy so if you're moving it around hills or uneven terrain (as I did), I'd recommend the tow attachment. This was easy to put together, straight forward to use and so far I'd recommend this to anyone.

Stump Grinder NorthStar 390cc Honda GX390 EngineI bought this machine a month ago. I've ground 75 24 inch average stumps with the machine. Average time to grind a stump was 15 minutes. I did switch the teeth on the machine to green teeth. I like those teeth much better than the teeth that comes stock on the machine.
