I've got about 2 acres of 200 stumps (6-24 inches ) to get rid of and am thinking about getting a used self contained hydraulic stump grinder. There are a lot of Vermeer 630's out there(like on E-Bay) which I think would do the job, but the prices seem to go from 3-10k. I don't get why the price varies so much. What should I look for in buying a used one? Thanks for the help.

Depends on what you'll to with the 2 Acres when your finished. Stump grinders take a terrific beating. Used can/does mean "USED UP"! I've got a good one, and the only thing I'd use it for is to remove stumps with as little damage to the area as possible. For that they a great! Otherwise, I'd sure look at diggin' 'em out. Or maybe hiring some poor sap that owns one to grind them with his grinder - not yours.

Ran into the same problem about 5 years ago, I rented a 8ft Cat dozer for the weekend and cleared about 1.3 acres in the 8 hours that the meter charged. worked great and didn't have to worry about repairing and selling a used grinder after the job was finished. Good Luck

Stump grinders are a high maintenance machine.due to their work and work environment,Lots of wear items to maintain/replace on ongoing basis.I have looked at several used units over the years,but unfortunatly used often means"used up".IMHO and considering the chipping cleanup and indeground root debris left behind,I'd seriously consider spending my money on dozer/ripper time and be done in one allaround shot.
