Predator are a load of ****.

 

the carlton was ****er though. most probs on this machine where due to failiure of the hydraulic motor on the cutter wheel.

[Mr Ed]

So what exactly was '****' about the carlton Oliver?

I reckon I could find far more happy Carlton customers than Predator customers....

Carlton machines are belt driven at the cutter head, well as far as i'm aware......

Spot on Lee, up until a few months ago carlton all belt drive, however now the new 8124 HYDRA is as the name suggests carlton's first hyd cutter system and at 170hp I can't wait to get mine!!!!! With respect to Steve and his machine at 50hp no turbo and the power loss through the hyd he must have had very serious problems with his carlton to rate the predator as a better machine ?

Edwin. I'm only relaying what a disgruntled ex carlton owner tells me. I have a Rayco so I'm independent in my views.

[Mr Ed]

My question was genuine. In my experience, Carltons usually have a hewn from granite type of build quality, whereas the predators seemed to be built out of chocolate. The carlton you speak of must have been particularly bad to be betterd by a predator.

Steer clear of hydraulic driven cutter wheels...you have been warned!!
