next stump grinder

[Tony.Price]

The 352 is an ok machine.

 

With the outer wheels off it is 35 inches wide, so you can get it through most gates.

 

It is difficult to see the grinding head if you stand where you are supposed to, so you end up using it like the guy in the vid, with your left hand on both levers, at arms length. Gives me neckache tbh.

 

Vermeer 352/372

 

The new vermeer models have the work position defice fitted that disengages the clutch when you let go of the controls with BOTH hands so you can step aside to have a look safely!

 

The anti stress is that reliable that I do not need to look at the cutter head to know where in the stump the head is.

 

Hands on the machine is far more efficient and accurate. Especialy near objects. Most machines requiere you to reduce the oil flow speed to grind safely where as with manual valves you can litraly feed the oil through your fingers and with good material you can grind in high speed and manover quite quickly.

 

We removed over 30, 1 meter average diameter stumps and leveled the site yesterday in 4 hours with no effort for one operator.

Thanks Tony,

Sound advice based on experience,I had guessed that remotes had their limitations.

The vermeer 352 sounds like a beauty, I have checked on some yankee sites where a number of folks have complained about reliability but people are more likely to complain than praise. and nothing is without faults.

Now its just a matter of raising the funds.

Plus points for the Vermeer the dozer blade and 4x4 drive is awesome for back filling or moving chips.

yh i just noticed that

[Ty Korrigan]

I'm back!

Put the kettle on lads I'm bushed.

81 stumps = 24h of grinding.

My sidewinder chewed 'em all up 'an spat 'em out!

Trick is to work on a level or the machine tends to become unbalanced.

I have seen bigger 4 wheel machines in action at around the same hp and now observe that the Sidewinder HB20 is as quick as bigger machines of same hp but less stable requiring greater attention to filling in the hole as you go.

I'm going to stick with this machine, its tough, does the job well but does have its quirks due to its swing action and lack of wheel locking and jerky controls which remain a moot point.

Ty

two sugars please.

Hi Stumpgrinder, just reading your thread about upgrading your rayco and was wondering which machine you decided upon in the end? I have been running a Rayco 1625 for years and have just upgraded to a Carlton SP7015trx with radio control & i am over the moon with it. I can get alot more done in a day with it & it's only 35" wide with the tracks pulled in, so i can get it into most places.

 

Cheers Trigger

Hi Trigger;God i envy you! what a beast! i actually kept the rayco and the other day it actually did a barrel roll down a slope! broke the filter box and the control levers, spent a few quid on it plus changed all the teeth for a change.

with the amount of grinding i get out here (one or so days a week) it suits my purpose, for the moment. I actually made enquiries about one a 7015 but it was just dreaming.
