Rayco Stumpy Advice

[White Noise]

I was wondering if any of you chaps have or had the 20hp Rayco HD . I was thinking when you just cant get to the job because of narrow access what do you lads do . I have 8 Conifers to grind and just cant get to them even with gate post down . Does anyone know if there are any other thinner wheels that have the same stud holes . I thought that some of those camping trailer wheels look similar ? . Only going to use them to gain access and will change over once there . Cheers

Hire a smaller machine and pass the hire on to the customer, thats what i do when i cant get mine in. get a 13hp one, small and 2 guys can lift it.

This is a fair point and I may well have to do this . I was hoping maybe someone has some how overcome this problem . Maybe removing the wheels and sitting the machine on a trolley as ground is smooth . Its just those fat tyres

Rayco rg13ii is much lighter than a 13 or the Predator 28, only 26" wide

Sounds crazy . But you might just have a plan there . And I know it will work .

 

Obviously I will have to paint them in the company colours .

 

If I cant find any wheels to suit . You gotta watch this space . Well they are only to be used front of house to back ?

 

Well at least I got a plan cheers

been through all that, making wheels up, taking em off etc, doing this and that just to get it in, no more, why make life hard for yourself just to save a few quid. If mine wont go in then i say i need to hire a small one, simples.
