Stump Grinder Choice - Rayco RG13 vs Rock Machinery SGR-33

Hi guys,

Got a weigh up on these 2 machines.  The Rayco RG13 is 2010, but is as good as new really.  190kg, direct drive, rayco super teeth, 18 inch cut below deck. Honda 13HP.

Rock Machinery SGR-33  - Brand New with warranty, 135kg, drive belt system, 8 green teeth, 16inch below deck cut. Briggs & Stratton 13hp

I can get both for £2k.  Just concerned on build quality of the Rock Machinery model and longevity compared to the Rayco.  

Any thoughts please?  Cheers

My thoughts would be build quality, and spares. I don't know what Rock are like, people seem to like their splitters, maybe make a few calls. You might get warranty on the Rock but lots will be a wear part, and stump grinders have a hard life so one way or the other you'll need spares.

Faced with a similar choice I bought secondhand when a good one came up, didn't regret that.

Cant comment on their grinders but i have a rock splitter, they are all assembled and welded/made up on site in scotland, quality is good with no issues at all so far, have rung up for advise at first use and all very helpful good to deal with.

Seriously? I think they are re-branded generic chinesium imports.

Doesn't mean they are no good but no way 'fabriqué en Ecosse'

When i ordered it last year i had a five week waiting time. Got to five weeks and rang for an update, they said the steel had arrived and they were on with the final stages of fabrication and assembly, once it had been made up and painted/tested etc then they would make contact for delivery, i got the contact a week later and it was delivered two days after that. 🤷‍♂️ can only really go on what they said. Certainly no complaints on my part, seems well built and had no issues.
