I had a Kohler command on my 1625. Never missed a bit in 10 years.

Thanks for replies

 

I'm looking in to ways to make my machine to last for as long as possible.

 

I have done a setup now in my garage where i can drive the machine up so i can be below it in a safe manner and inspect every bit of the machine, and now wonder if i should replace all screws and bolts with stainless steel ones, see if i can improve it to last longer. I noticed already a screw is loose from the bit where the fumes goes out, dont know the english word for it, Exaust is the nearest i know the spelling.

 

Some bits can not have a rubber washer to stop vibrations.

 

How do you guys maintain and improve your stump grinders to last longer ?

Stumpers have a hard life, use it, keep your eyes and ears open, grease regularly, and get on with it!

Belt tension and don't be too greedy at the stump.

I can easy see i can avoid a big cost by maintaining my machine, if i can keep the machine maintained and get it to run as cheap as possible i can supply lower prices and get more customers.

 

Trying to think outside the box here, and see if i can make some sort of improvments myself on the machine.

Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.
