As you can imagine it was pretty much a failure and was parted out. Here is where some of it ended up.

This is not really a stump grinder, but a big forestry mulcher. If it is considered a land clearing machine, then it is not the biggest either. Check out the BIG land clearing monster that was developed by LeTournou.(spelling?)

I not sure of entire story. It was built in New Zealand so I can't imagine that it would much good on hill country and that's where most of the trees are

The machine in my second post is owned by Tobiah Mulching at Coffs Harbour NSW runs at 1005hp:D
The Létourneau tree crusher is a self-propelled chopper roller, not a mulcher

Yes, quite a different concept. Both are/were used for land clearing though. I just find the comparison interesting. Old technology/thinking vs. new technology/thinking.

It is impressive. I have never run a mulcher with more than 600HP. So, that big one really grinds quickly, and is surprisingly quiet.
