Major (brand) stump grinder

[tim361]

I’ve been offered a stump grinder by a friends dad that he’s had from new. It’s branded as a Major (the company who male tractor equipment) Does anyone know much about them or what it would be worth. Looks virtually brand new. It’s a self propelled pedestrian grinder.

Major were importers of LASKI woodchippers and Stumpgrinders for west and maybe all of Ireland.

they had a Stumpgrinder as you describe on display for ages in their agri-factors store at their factory in Mayo.

Would have bought it if I had money and big grinding job at same time. Was at good price at the time, maybe 9 or ten years ago.

I’m pretty sure Greenmech  used to sell same machines in their own nAme at the time

Take a bow. Just looked on Laski’s wedsite and looks like the 460 version they do. I’ve asked him to work out what he wants for it and go from there.

Sounds like a good find.

We brought them in before Major and then Predator. Decent stuff, at under 32inches wide, it was narrow enough and the 27hp made it a tad more powerful than the rest at that time. What tips is it running? One piece castings?

After looking into it a little more it’s the 450 version, no turn table unfortunately. Couldn’t see the cutting head as it was in the back of his shipping container. What’s better cutter to have on the head?
