Self Propelled Stump Grinder Advice

[CHTS Ltd]

We are currently looking to upgrade our pedestrian stump grinder and would like to hear of peoples experiences with different self propelled machines.

 

We currently run a Rayco RG13 but have been experiencing a lot of issues with it at the end of its useable life.

 

We are looking for recommendations and reviews regarding self propelled machines. We are considering the Rayco RG25HD, Predator 460 Hybrid or Carlton SP2010.

 

All help and advice would be welcomed!

I’ve recently just got an FSI B22, would highly recommend that for a pedestrian grinder.

Recently bought a bandit hb20 and extremely happy with it. Not available new any more though

I Would vote for bandit HB20. But not available new is a hiccup.

Preditor 460 is a cracking machine, a touch wide for a standard door ways by punches well above it’s weight.

 

The turntable on a pedestrian grinder makes a huge difference to output and operator fatigue.

If buying new, consider what your nearest supplier can sell you. If you need help, you ain't got as far to go!

second the fsib22. less power ( 14hp vs 24hp or so) than a predator but 100x better build.

I was sceptical of the power ( or lack off) but has proved faultless and more than capable.

I also always had to measure the width of r access for the 460, never needed to once in the last 2 yrs or so with the fsi

HB20 is good but very large in comparison.

Danequip 27hp.
Used them for years. So simple and easy to use. Hard to go wrong with one.
Just over 6 grand I think.
