New stumpy - which one??

[Al Cormack]

I have a feeling my 10 year old Danequip stumpy is 'beyond economical repair'.

 

Its need a new engine as using as much oil as petrol nearly, some of the front guard area needs patching/replacing, bearings need replacing after getting tangled up with a one ton bag that was buried (ripped the bearing carriers right off!)

 

Almost a complete rebuild!.

 

So, to my question, if this is the case what do I replace it with?

I like a grinder that can go into back gardens through side gates, any big stumps I hire in a machine, and needs to be self propelled to go up ramps into the back of the lorry.

 

Suggestions gratefully received.

 

Cheers...Al

I've got a new Danequip 27SP and it has been a solid bit of kit. I had a really old battered one. Such a relief to get the new one. Piece of mind with its reliability is great.

Having spoken to Kim at Danequip it looks like my Stumpy can be resurrected with a new engine and welding work for a fraction of the cost of a new one. Here's hoping...

I just started rubbing my hands together thinking it sounds pretty rebuildable until you made that comment

Haha, sorry about that! The main frame is good and solid, so just need to bolt some new bits to it, and be good for another 10 years!

Did you get 10 years from the original engine? That seems darn good to me, we've just had a new engine our old one and its like a new machine unsurprisingly.

Yes, 10 years from the original engine. Had a head gasket replaced if I recall correctly.

As you've realised that's a fairly simple repair probably only about £2500 ish or less if you fit the new bearings and engine yourself, which is pretty easily done. What happened with therein bag? Mine has eaten a few with no ill effects other than The 30mins wasted cutting it free!
