Hi All,

Has anyone used predator stump grinders? Specifially 2 wheel and tracked versions?

What are your thoughts and how do you rate them as machines and also for their after sales service?

 

Many thanks!

I've got a 28rx. It's an awesome machine! They have always been spot on sorting any trouble with it. Not that it's really had any problems. The first one I had came with a duff battery and had a minor valve issue, once sorted was fine. My latest one has not missed a beat since getting it.

Good machines,

 

I've got the 450, have also used 38hp and 50 hp tracked ones. All very narrow for their class but good power. The multitip cutting wheels will take rhino teeth too. Twice as fast as muti-tip and easier to sharpen.

Didn't know this about the Rhino teeth, is it a straight swap or do the keeper blocks need changing too? Many thanks

Pretty good we have an r38 and doesn't perform quite as well as the rayco of similar size but can get in much tighter locations and the remote control means better vision and control. The petrol engine sometimes needs spinning over for longer than I would like but happy overall and would recommend.

Got a 360SW nearly 3 years ago from Arbrep who have been very good, and as Old Mill said, cheaper than direct from Predator. I have had a few issues with mine, new carb, exhaust shook itself to pieces, new fuel cap - all done under warranty by Unipower.

Brake cable - well I'm on my third one and it's done under 150 hours. The inefficient brake definitely lets it down and really needs a complete redesign. I'm thinking of upgrading to a 460SW or an HB20 when budget allows.
