Yes they are a totally different experience to the pedestrian grinders. I have quite a few stumps to grind tomorrow 14-16" I own a vermeer sc252 basically same as yours but not on tracks. Yes it does seem slow but you dont get tired, you can lift the head up and look into the stump to see where you need to go, you can keep grinding in the bottom of the stump without arm fatigue. So many positives. Yes also i think they cut / spin slower than a pedestrian grinder. You will get used to it If you had have bought a radio remote grinder you could have sat down to do it lol

I dont see the point but depends what for. Long drawbar and only a 4ft wide bed isnt very versatile

Also to note, in Lancashire they also charge an anual fee of 25.00 per green bin, if you dont pay they dont collect your green waste

As said try taking the middle 2 teeth and pockets out where the 6 teeth are and the same the other side. You have to keep it balanced
-
Dave my machine was on old super teeth. I changed pockets to run tellow jackets. If i knew i was gettig the bandit i would have got green teeth pockets. No bother, i like both systems im Happy
-
I think yellow jackets are great, but if i knew i was buying a hb20 aswell id have gone for green teeth and pockets to match machines
-
Im on yellow jackets it has 16 teeth same as std. Ive considered where there are the 6 teeth removing the two centre teeth. Not sure yet
-

Im a stihl man! The new saws have gone to m tronic now! i regrettably sold a good 044 a while back. If i was considering a new 70cc saw my money would be on the husq 365 x torq. 530.00 inc vat. 70 cc then with a small modification after warrenty up, it can be made to a 372. Cheap and no electronics. Something in the mix for you there buddy! and im a stihl man.

Right ive had the machine stripped down for the last month or so! A guy at timberwolf says yes you can buy seal kits. Mines an old eaton motor, motor works fine, no play, shaft seems ok so new seals should work. All i require is x 2 seals and a brass washer/ shim and we are up and running again. Timberwolf technical waste of time with this say can only fit new motor Parta department today said they dont do them, cant order them either. Have to buy a new motor at 240.00 inc vat... Thats crap if so! All for 2 seals. Anyone else had any luck doing this?
