is there really that much of a need for the likes of 7015's? the biggest grinder I had was a Vermeer 352

 

We've had a Vermeer 352 for 7 or 8 years and we love it, plenty of grunt, productive and very reliable.

 

We got a 70-15 a few years ago when we started doing large scale removals in parks and highways, the extra power, tracks and remote control make all the difference when you have larger scale sites.

 

We have put more aggressive mini-digger type tracks on it as it tended to slide around on slopes.

 

The vermeer still does around 80% of the domestic works though.

Why not on slopes? I did a huge willow stump with the one we used to hire, that was on the bank of a dry stream, handled that fine?

It will not take much to starve the engine of oil especially at full revs on a slope and bingo no more engine.Carlton warn users not to use on slopes greater than 25 degrees.Common sense and using the chip pile whilst grinding to level out is the way to go on a slope situation.

Once you have used a big machine such as a 7015 you would not want to go back to using a machine ten times less efficient without yawning.If you are earning your living just grinding, you need to get in and get on to another job.Sixty six horsepower with a carlton razor set up just blows away any thing like a vermeer 352.Thats a pretty good reason enough for anyone who uses big grinders in my opinion.

Couldn't agree more, once you start using 7015 the amount you can do in a day can triple easily.

Plus the fact that you have a "failsafe " system...:001_smile:
