Is The Power King Stump Grinder Good?

In general, the Power King stump grinder is a good buy. If you are watching the pennies, the manual start stump grinder will save you a considerable amount compared to the electric start. Both have a manual brake system which gives excellent control when steering the machine. However, the Power King stump grinder does come with a couple of negatives. First, it needs some assembly when you get it home. It’s not difficult but the instruction manual isn’t that clear so it may take longer than it should. The centrifugal clutch is safe and makes it easy to operate the grinder but it can cause a loss of power. However, the grinder does come with a one-year warranty, and the engine with a three-year warranty.
