Hey Ed///Peterson Pacific

[A_lopa]

Hey Ed are Peterson Pacific a good horizontal grinder??

[Mr Ed]

One of the best, build quality second to none. West coast built. Heavy and thirsty. Thirsty due to upswinging rotor, never as good as a downswing.

 

Which model? 2400 is good, the rest are to big to move around easily.

Seen one on the weekend working,looked big h/p and nicely built.

 

Upswinging rotor i didnt know that,i suppose that gets better cutter life??

Hey the up swing suffers from productiverty as the material is not being cut of an anvil area you will see this on big wood:thumbdown:, when it comes to big wood grinders I recon that the Precision husky and Bandit Beast are good to see.

The petersons and alike all religh on horse power with loads of grunt and brut force to get the material through the mill. also Peterson have a fairly small dia rotor so not one of the best on the market.

Most impresive machine I have seen for brut power is the CBI Grizzley.
