  • Patent number: 6305445
    Abstract: An improved stump grinding machine includes a frame structure having an engine mounted thereon. A boom has a proximal end and distal end and is pivotally mounted to the frame structure at its proximal end. A grinding wheel is rotatably mounted to the distal end of the boom. A power train arrangement transmits power from the engine to the grinding wheel. The power train arrangement includes an idler shaft rotatably mounted on the frame structure. The boom is pivotally mounted to the frame structure independently of the idler shaft.
