FSI pedestrian stumpgrinder

Have a look at my reduced width RG20 here which will get through a 28" gap and is a seriously capable machine!

Stump grinders need some weight behind them as well as power, or else Newton's third law will ensure that you get the crap knocked out of you!

I know, that's my thread and my rg20! (Still wondering if you know where the wheels are from? As gonna modify mine when get time) It's a much better machine but certain jobs it just won't get to. This is the other stump the smaller machine was used for recently, needed a delicate touch and lifting into place

Hi Dan, is this the grinder you have?

 

 

 

Rock Machinery Original 13hp Stump Grinder

 

 

Yeah that's mine. Good for the money (although not a fan of using it now I've got another machine but still wouldn't be without it right now)

Cheers Dan, not looking for one at present but in time who knows, do you reckon the Rock is worth getting if time is plentiful and money short?

[dan494]

Yeah that was my reasoning! New with warranty, had £900 of stumps lined up and everyone i subbed it for stumps too busy so bought it and payed for itself in 2 months. In all honesty should have bought a bigger machine ages ago as spent far too long on some jobs but you live and learn!

Haven't used one but have a predator 360. The 360 is a great machine but some cheap components let it down like throttle cable and control lever, broke in the first month, five quid identical replacement on ebay. FSI looks a lot better in this regard, solid feeling controls

Same problem here too with the 360. I've also had a throttle cable, two brake cables gone now at under 150 hours. The brake system is seriously flawed on these.

Arbrep have been very good at getting parts out to me, but deny there's a problem - I've heard of enough to know that a redesign is needed.

The Kohler engine also won't run on supermarket fuel - fair enough, easy to cure this.

But it's also had a new exhaust as the first one shook itself to bits, a new carb under warranty (known weak point) and a new Honda petrol cap last week.

When it's running it's a cracking machine, but I've lost a few days work with these probs.

Will be looking at an HB20 as a replacement possibly.

Got them from here for about £100 delivered!

Tyre-Rite UK, puncture repair & tyre maintenance, inner tubes, OKO tyre sealant

My 'extreme machine' is an Alpine Magnum which has an extremely capable cut and will go literally anywhere I can go! It is extremely thirsty though with a Husky 3120XP power head on full trigger time. A set of 'Rock Teeth' are also £60 and don't last very long. However, I do probably les than 1% of my work with this machine, but just having it means that I can do any job that comes up. I also have a Stihl TS 410 Disc Cutter with a Terrasaur blade that will cut through pretty much anything!

All stumps are made of wood! It's just a matter of time!

Thanks, appreciate it the link will have a look and get some ordered. Had a look at mine and think putting the hubs on backwards would draw the wheels in without having to cut anything, currently got 12 inch wheels that are 6 inches wide so would be good to get that down to a 10 by 5
