Predator p26

[walkerboys]

Do they have a remote control option?they do look a good strong machine

[Bald Ed]

Radio remote is a standard option on the larger 67hp machine, would have to ask the factory about the D30!

Hi Mark,

We have a good selection of new and used Carlton's. If you're on a budget we've got some quality used 4012's (manual or remote). If you can stretch a little we have the Carlton SP5014TRX (remote) which is compact, powerful, and extremely well put together.

Not quite as narrow as the p26, but if performance is more important than narrowness it's a no brainer.

 

Call and ask for Lee if you want to discuss the options, and arrange demos etc.

 

Regards,

Big and powerful is great, but on the domestic circuit its all about getting in tight places, Predator 26/28 seems to have had a bit of stick here, but I still think its the best all round grinder on the market, owner operator that is. I still make a lot of money from mine, keep them well maintained and the teeth sharp , if it was to grind any quicker I'd have to slow up a bit just so the client dosn't think I'm making too much money mine stands me at an average turnover £166.60 per running hr on the clock, just did my sums I don't want anyone to rant or rave, I'm happy with those £s per hr.

Interesting topic as yesterday ,although it was bloody COLD!, I was using my Rayco 1635 trac against a tracked predator. Needless to say my machine out performed and out worked the said predator!

My rayco has bigger engine but the non performance and inability to cut softwood of the predator coupled with it's poor design and the jerky hydraulics, awful design cutting wheel, and extra vibration is a machine I would suggest that the professional arborist steer well clear of.

[Hodge]

The one I used a few years back was awful, the hydraulic driven cutter wheel had no torque atall, the hydraulics as a whole were far too aggressive and had no dexterity to them and the multi tooth system is a silly idea and expensive. The colour was nice!

 

Err sorry but you're wrong about the multi tip cutting system. I have it and its far better than green teeth or finger teeth;)

I'v just fitted the toothed keeper blocks teeth and a combination of narrow and standard cutting teeth, always keep the two main cutters as new as possible, its also really good at plunging straight down into roots and wood. I have toy'd with the idea of changing the wheel to fit 900 series green teeth as they were on another grinder but so far i'm really pleased with this current configuration.

[walkerboys]

what do you all think are green teeth the best

Multi tip is great, so easy and cheap to maintain. was out with my carlton 4012 diesel today, that thing eats stumps..........

I've been using various stump grinders over the years. I think that on a small machine you can't really go wrong with finger teeth. If you are mean like me you can get them re sharpened as well!

As to using a bigger machine ( I'm using a Rayco 1635) I think the Yellow Jacket's are as tough and durable as any. An advantage with these is that the pockets do not take such a hammering as they seem to with green teeth.

The Rayco super teeth are fine but you only get one bite of the cherry before you have to resharpen them. This is an expensive option.

I must add though Rayco along with all the other manufacturers are beginning to play games by designing their cutting wheels to only take their teeth. Some trial and error is required.
