RAYCO RG25HD stumpgrinder any good? thoughts and opinions please!

[Pete Hart]

Hi guys I'm about to purchase a stumpgrinder and I just wanted to get peoples opinions on them. The Rayco rg25 hd is a machine that looks like it will do the job.

 

Have any of you got experience owning/using this machine and what do you think of it?

 

I've been quoted £7200 inc vat.... is this a fair price for the machine?

 

Responses very much appreciated,

Pete.

If anyone has other suggestions for similar machines, other makes, models that would be welcome too!

 

Thanks guys

yh weve got one,, it is ok for small jobs but it kills you after about 5 mins,

me boss has never had any problems with it and its briliant for back gardens

As said above good for the small jobs in back gardens but hard work. Have you thought about getting something a bit bigger that is fully hydraulic or is it something small you need?

 

Alan mason has and rg25hd for sale for half that price which has just been reconditioned.

Sounds like you need to beef up.

I have a similar grinder from Caravaggi with a 24hp Honda. It works really well, no too hard fysically...not harder than climbing. One good advice, keep the teeth well sharp and the grinding goes faster and easier.

Cheers for replies chaps!

So you seriously think its only for small jobs then?

Medium stumps a no-goer?

 

If going a step up in size power etc do you still get ease of access or does that go out the window? I was looking at the rayco purely for manouvering it easier than a bigger machine.

 

Whats the jump up in price to a hydralic beast as i haven't really looked at anything bigger yet?

we use it for medium stumps but it takes a while and like i said its quite hard work,, i would go for a small preditor machein if you want manoverbility
