Which pedestrian stumpgrinder

[detritus21]

How deep are some of you grinding with the hb20? I always like to do a full deep grind.

 

Its ok having videos of grinders eith sharp teeth grinding a high clean stump, where are the videos of it balls deep into the bottom of the stump? Soil roots stones and all?

 

Aim for as deep as possible soil and all. When you get a lot of chips and soil mixed together it can bog down a little but I tend to blow the chips out of the hole so I can see what else there is to grind.

Try them out.

I had a preadator 450 ( Non turntable) and its a good little machine. When the turn tables came out i tried the Bandit HB20 but personally didnt gel with it.

Found Dean A very nice chap who couldnt do enough ( helped out chipping and hole digging while on the demo!). Thought i was going to have to pay him some wages.

Its very capable but personally found it quite a large machine and found i couldnt see where i was grinding.

Managed to get a demo on a preadator 460 ( one dealer wouldnt do demos believe it or not, apparently there is no profit on a 7K machine).

 

Personally i got on very well with it and so went for a new 460 which i find so much easier to use than the non turn table one.

 

Only downside is it has a electric drive motor which is all on or off, no graduated drive system which lets it down. I know they are working on fixing this. Otherwise its all good.

Cedar stump, 8 mins start to finish, I often stand a bit to the side and use the machine 1 handed when grinding near paving slabs.

Hi Dave. Your best option by far is to buy my hardly used Predator.

Very carefully used, by me and in perfect condition.

 

Then after you've paid me for it I can call bandit and buy an HB20.

 

Brilliant!

 

 

I take that back Dave. I've just discovered that Predator do a 460. It's my 450 but on a swivel.

 

Therefore, please buy my 450 so I can call Arbrep Services and buy a 460.

 

Brilliant!
