predator r28 stumpgrinder.....hows yours?

[SABRE10]

Hello there, My name is Ian Tooth. I run Fox Earth Tree Services. I purchased a R28 Stumpgrinder from Redwoods some time ago. I have had nothing but trouble from this machine. Its brilliant when it works but most of the time its unreliable!! I would be very interested to hear from anyone else who owns a R28 and has had experienced problems. Please comment.

is it the clutch .we have just got 1, i would say it is short off an auto sweep like the vermeer 252 we tuned the sweep speed right down that improved it some what .

Just brought one from redwoods gonna try it out next week. Was talking to the guy at redwoods about the clutche's and he reckons its all sorted. He's agreed to install a new one if ours goes. so fingers crossed it aint gonna break?

Hi Ian,

 

Could you let me know what sort of issues you have had with this machine. I would like to see if i can help. I know the Predator machinery very well.

The Predator 28R machines are normally very good. All the teething problems have been sorted.

Get in touch soon.

His name was doug and apparently he deals with the nottinghamshire area. He also chucked a spare set of teeth in too.

Wots the main problems been SABRE10,anything i should look out for in perticular? Its gonna be gettin a fair bit of use next week,the last thing i want is it breaking down every 2 minutes.

Hi there.

My machine has developed lots of different faults - generally the machine has been rendered unusable when it has broken so if yours breaks as mine did you will know. I hope that I am a stand alone case and that your predator 28stumpgrinder gives you the reliability that you would expect from such an expensive bit of kit. Contact me if things dont go well.
