another new stump grinder project

[Jesse]

todays achievements were pretty good got the profile and got it machined to take the cutters and the mounting holes

 

F Me, that looks the business, what size cutters are they and how much to get that wheel machined please, i have always thought that most wheel configurations are over complicated , when its about simple spin centrifugal grunt, smash and grind which must work best, I once had a carlton which had just 4 pairs of off set Greenteth 500 on it and it cut into stumps like a mad man, did see at the last trade show a couple of p28 with just 4 pairs of 900 fitted, you wheel looks a lot like one i'v seen, cant remember the brand, but it was in the states. Greenwheel ? was yours modeled on that one ?

Coming on well:001_smile:

I would be interested to hear how you came up with the shape if the cutter wheel:)

had a look at the green wheel and decided that the greenwheel was too expensive so i drew it out and sent it to the profilers got it cut out of weldox 700 cost 25+vat to get it cut and the cutters were 240 ish versus 1300 for green wheel and then time to machine it .see thru so you see what your grinding also means less mass for the belts to spin up

Cool, I look-forward

to see your finished machine.

Thats cool, I also like the look and performance from what i have seen of the Greenwheel, don't think its available in the UK , what size are the cutters ?

700 do you know the torque for them

I have seen it , got 700s on mine, i'v just been doing them gestimate to about tight, nothing has come loose, i may have seen somewhere 45lbs the Reds cut better .
