No but I have some for sale:001_tt2:

[Bing!]

That particular model or that style?

 

We have had that style of grinder for many years, they do the job very well but need a lot of physical effort, we use a larger hydraulic grinder now which can get through smaller gates/passages and can handle bigger stumps. The added benefit of the hydraulic one is that even the smallest of our chaps can smash through big stumps. The man handle grinder requires our "Mongo" to do a proper job on big stumps and he's getting on a bit. (and now suffers carpel tunnel in both arms).....

I see that the Bandit boasts a "Unique Center Pivot" Take a look at the FSI ST20B 13hp machine. Slightly smaller pedestrian machine with a center pivot bearing for grinding with much less effort.

Let me know if you want to try the FSI range:thumbup:

FSI Stump Grinders - buy a stump grinder - hire a stump grinder

I see that FSI boasts 'innovatve' as in ground breaking, cutting edge, original, just out or at least it was when Bandit released it many years ago.

Im not getting into a slanging match as that is no way to sell, as I say if anyone wants to try the FSI Range please get in touch and make your own decision.

and apologies for hi-jacking the thread:shakehands:

I had ours out today.

A 50cm oak stump done in 30min using red teeth with 1 hours use.

Beautiful chips flying today, a real breeze to use on a level lawn with its pivot action.

Only is when the going gets deep to get at a root plate does my 63kg suffer balancing it.

It is not the most stable of machines being horrible to use on slopes but I normally get around that by digging a wee terrace for the wheels.

Still, it is rare I refuse a stump due to its location.

Had ours 2 years now and the price has not gone up.

I believe any grinder is better than no grinder, excellent add on sale.
