Which tracked stump grinder?

[Nick Connell]

I've had my Predator Rx28 for over 6months now and it has been an amazing bit of kit. In my experience the realisability issues have been sorted now.

[John Shutler]

ive got a predator 38, very good machine. but your looking at 20k all in for a new one

its a far better machine than my old carlton 4012

Don't waste your £20k.

Save up another £20k and buy a Carlton 7015.

In the meantime sub your stump grinding out to someone who has one

 

 

That's very good advice as an option but I wouldn't do that either.

 

I'd buy a Bandit HB20, sub out the big stuff to Stumpbusters, or similar, the buy a Carlton 7015 in a couple of years if there is demand for it. (Also depends upon access to most jobs.

Almost the perfect answer old Mill tree, I've just ordered my Hb20 and hire in a 7015 when I need it or can lump a bunch of job's together for a few days.

Tend not to like subbing stuff out as had some bad experience with that from poor quality tidy up and unhappy clients.

I like the predator 28 but dont like that noisey lombardini engine if it still comes with that?

 

Why has no one suggested the vermeer sc60tx? MONSTER MACHINE!

[Gray git]

True swinny, direct drive via a clutch drive shaft set up so no belts to shred or hydraulics to overheat, narrows down quite a bit, optional remote control, 60hp cat engine. Forgot how good it was till you mentioned it.

I loved using the sc60 awesome machine!!!

Raco rg1635 is a very good and compact machine but don't know the price.

 

Good machine. Used the 35hp petrol for days grinding, about 50 odd stumps.

 

I believe they are around 18k

Remember Anwick job! You spent best part of 6 days grinding solidly about 100 stumps a day with it!

[oakeydokie]

Access is key for me max pedestrian gate width 28" (2' 6") so that would narrow it down to pretty much Predator 28 or 38 both tracked and expandable tracks 26-39"!

 

Any other tracked machines available that'll get through 28" gate?
