Bandit sidewinder stump grinder or equilivent

[treefrog]

I know not another stump gring thead.

I am looking at getting my first stump grinder. I have used many varieties over the years but like any one want to make the right choice.

 

I like to look of the bandit side winder but would like to see if any ones used one(opinions please) or got any suggestions for something similar.

 

I want it to be narrow but powerful to do 70-80% of stumps well.

 

Whats your thoughts

I like the pivot design if it make it less effort then i am for it. I must admit that i ve not used this style or seen it.

 

I like the pivot idea, its narrow and thats its powered.

 

But as you know there are lots of different machines out there so i welcome suggestions

Well I had it on demo and I decided it wasn t for me. Also it broke as it hit a small amount of metal. I ve now bought a vermeer 252 and broke my budget but its a much better machine.
