Does anybody use a Lumag stump grinder?

[Ian C]

I spoke to them a month or so ago out of interest, there a German "designe" but knocked up in China so ya pays ya money and take a chance!

 

I'm upgrading out little stumpy for an fsi 13hp turntable one v soon from spectrum plant,not cheap but quality.

Hi There

 

Just a few points on this thread

 

The BSF15 is 15HP

 

All the spare parts are fairly prices and available.

 

What could go wrong with such machine? worst case scenario the engine fails.....less than £200! that's lots of engines before buying a big name makes sense.

 

Lots of these machines have been sold some to hire company's a couple of years ago.No spare parts other than pull starts,teeth, throttle cables have been sent out.

 

Yes a Honda engined machine may be better?!......a known label may be better!?..... but more that twice as many of your hard earned pound [email protected]

One issue with less known brands can be getting the replacement parts - have a check and see if you can get hold of them easily and cheaply, especially if they are coming from abroad. A cheaper initial outlay may lead to higher costs further down the line!

 

We hire out Carlton Stump Grinders, which are brilliant.

 

Have you had a look on Arbtrader?

That is exactly what has happened to me I have a Lumag 500 track barrow. It has been broken down with a cracked gearbox casing for months now! We have the casing but no seals. After sales service is just about non existent!

Interesting to see that you can get parts for a stump grinder Neil. So why cant you get them for my Track Barrow! Been waiting months!!
