WG28 PRO: "Another Hit from Woodland Mills"

★★★★★

"My WG28 PRO Stump Grinder is powered by a Kubota L48 with 35 PTO HP and it works great. Very stout shipping crate like all their products to protect your purchase in shipping. I am grinding white pine stumps and it works with ease following the instructions. Setup was straightforward along with trimming the PTO shaft. I called Woodland Mills to assist me in sizing a stump grinder to my tractor and I am so happy I did. Woodland Mills has the best customer service, they care, listen and offer informed information. I also have the HM126 and WC88, I am happy with all my purchases."

WG24 PRO: "Money Well Spent"

★★★★★

"This has been an excellent piece of equipment for me. It is a very rugged and well-built piece of equipment and super easy to use. I had never used a stump grinder prior to buying this one. I have used it to grind well over 200 stumps and have not had any issues with the equipment. I use it on a John Deere 3025 tractor. I was a little concerned about whether I had enough PTO HP but the grinder works just fine behind a 25 hp tractor. The shock absorber on top does great job of controlling things as well. I was able to clear almost 1/2 acre of woods with this grinder after I cut all the trees down. If you are on the fence about getting a grinder, this is money well spent and you won't regret it."

WG28: "The Best Value for the Money"

★★★★★

"I really like it a lot. I have just started using it. I have ground 7 tree stumps.

I have about 40 tree stumps to go. I am cutting them to around 10 inches tall with the chainsaw. They average 8 to 10 inches in diameter. The WG28 STUMP GRINDER is one of the best built machines I have seen in a really long time. Everything about it says heavy duty. Definitely the best value for the money."

WG24: "A Great Product"

★★★★★

"When I first got the WG24, I took my time and went through 24 stumps on my land. Now that all the stumps are gone, I do grind them out as I cut a tree down. Never thought I’d have an affordable stump grinder to use without paying a very high price or paying someone to come out to do it for me."

-Jeffrey J.

WG28 PRO: "Fast and Efficient"

★★★★★

"The WG28 PRO Stump Grinder arrived in perfect condition early this year. I followed the manufacturer instructions and torqued the cutting teeth accordingly and have ground over 100 stumps from a recent timber harvest using my 60 horse tractor. The performance has been fast and efficient and I am very pleased with my purchase. Thanks Woodland Mills."

-John P.

WG24 PRO: "Awesome"

★★★★★

"This stump grinder is awesome and does a fantastic job. It’s a solid 3-point attachment that hooks up easily and runs smooth. Plenty of power to chew through stumps quickly without bogging down, and it leaves a clean, even grind.

The build quality is excellent—heavy-duty, well-balanced, and feels like it’s made to last. Controls are simple, and it’s easy to maneuver, even in tighter spots. If you’re looking for a reliable 3-point stump grinder that actually performs the way it should, this one delivers.

Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get stumps gone fast and done right."

The grinder delivers consistent power and handles a variety of stump sizes without issue. Its design makes operation straightforward, and it performs smoothly throughout use. Overall, the WG28 has exceeded my expectations and has been a valuable addition to my equipment.

I would confidently recommend this stump grinder to anyone in need of a dependable and capable solution for stump removal."

WG24: "Works Great"
