Stump grinder what to get?

Have you looked at the FSI’s?

 

I’ve not used one, but @Ty Korrigan has the baby one and he’s done some mental stumps with his (although he is mental).

I would imagine the fully hydraulic FSI would be at least as good as the Predator 460, if not better.

 

My mate has the 460 and it’s an awesome machine, but he’s an owner/operator and knows his way around spanners and grease.

 

I would pay more for a bigger machine knowing what I know now.

 

2” is neither here nor there.

Bouncing back from a ltd company liquidation my budget was...limited.

However, monster stumps are pretty rare so I'm content to just lap it up and grind on when the need arises.

 I don't think a grinder costing 3-4 times the B20 would have earned me any more lucre.

I've only do about 40 hours a year as it is.

What happened to that 900 in the end mate? Gone gone?
Yup. There was no forensic or CCTV evidence for the police to look at so they didn't visit, that was it really. Insurance paid but that's two claims in three years so premium bump last time.

I had rebuilt the brake and made a few bits to make it work smoothly. Other than that I think new starter string and greenteeth were the only things it ever needed.

I'm not grinding all the time but did a reasonable number of stumps, it was a solid machine and I wish it hadn't got nicked.
