Stump Cutting Apparatus

Abstract

A stump cutting apparatus including a cutting wheel with a plurality of tool holders secured to the cutting wheel. A plurality of apertures located in each of the tool holders. Each of said apertures having a cutting tool or tooth mounted therein whereby each tool holder supports more than one cutting tool or tooth.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A stump cutting apparatus comprising:
 a member having an axis of rotation;   said member including a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface; and   said member is a mirror image about a plane containing the axis of rotation.   
     
     
         2 . An apparatus as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said plane containing the axis of rotation includes a radial perpendicular to the axis of rotation. 
     
     
         3 . An apparatus as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said member is divided into four sections with only two of said sections having a tool holder. 
     
     
         4 . A stump cutting apparatus comprising:
 a member having an axis of rotation;   said member divided into four sections;   only two of said sections of said member having a mounting surface.   
     
     
         5 . An apparatus as set forth in  claim 4  including a first mounting surface having a longitudinal axis and a second mounting surface having a longitudinal axis wherein said longitudinal axis of said first mounting surface and said longitudinal axis of said second mounting surface are parallel. 
     
     
         6 . An apparatus as set forth in  claim 4  including a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface, said first mounting surface and said second mounting surface being diametrically opposed. 
     
     
         7 . An apparatus as set forth in  claim 4  wherein said four sections are created by first and second perpendicular planes, said first and second perpendicular planes intersecting at said axis of rotation. 
     
     
         8 . A stump cutting apparatus comprising:
 a member having an axis of rotation;   said member including a pair of outwardly extending support arms;   a tool holder mounted on each of said outwardly extending support arms;   a plurality of cutting tools located in said tool holder; and   said member symmetrical about a plane extending through and parallel to said axis of rotation.
