What happens here

A compact Toro STX 26 stump grinder is introduced and used to efficiently remove a remaining tree stump. The operator demonstrates proper personal protective equipment (PPE), including a hard hat with a face shield and ear protection, emphasizing safety protocols. The grinder is expertly maneuvered to systematically chip away at the stump, reducing it to wood chips and grinding it down below the soil level, ensuring a clear and level surface for future landscaping or construction.
