Bearcat 73711 stump grinder

[padman]

Can any one tell me if these are any good, also what would be the max size stump within reason they could take on. I cant find much about them when I did a search.

 

Thx Paul

Just did a quick search and they showing up at around 3500 for 11hp?

Would steer well clear at that price, get a rock machinery one for 1500 or get a rayco 13hp if gonna spend that kind of money

Had a similar slightly smaller Bearcat - same design a few years ago - didn't keep it for long as it was a pita to use! Horizontal grinding is nowhere near as good as a conventional wheel perpendicular to the stump.

For that kind of money +vat you could get a Predator 360 - good machine in its' class

Thanks for the advice. There is a 8.5HP on ebay for £750 at the mo.

Pretty sure that's what I had about 12 years ago - with the 4 teeth on the grinding head, 8.5hp. Awful machine to use
