Stumpgrinder ?

[aspenarb]

With how tight new houses are a very narrow machine maybe tracked that can go down to 26 inch with 40hp+ if that's possible just a thort because 35inch isn't small enuf for a powerfull grinder

 

So we want a tracked chipper no more than 26" wide with a stump grinder on the other end and a winch underneath. How about a blade to doze the hole back in ??

Those dozer blades are ok but it's as quick with the shovel sometimes!it needs that 40 hp engine

If that's the case why not put a 23 meter mewp on top and a top speed of 55mph for the road.

I just bought a Predator 450! Bought it from Arbrep Services at a VERY good price. I've been using Arbrep since the company started and Charles' service and work ethic is legendary.

I dont want to get into a whats best stump grinder fest but we recently had to grind hundreds of stumps on a bank so hired in a couple of toytown tracked grinders. One was the big predator and the other came from Green plant and was the tracked Rayco. http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRdvKHsLi7FLYUSsXvOcllFALEa3O_Ah2Fa38rYP1SomYf_uGAClA

 

The Rayco easily out performed the predator all day despite being half the power ( probably twice the amount of work)Those pumping losses on the hydraulics are still an issue. The only thing about the Rayco was its on a very short track and is not as stable on the banks. One other thing is the Rayco is petrol engined which I hate but if they lengthened the track and put a diesel lump in it it would be the nuts.

That's useful but the Predator 450 I just bought is the pedestrian, belt driven and would have been too small for what you've just done.
