    I felled a Box Elder tree in the spring of this year, and spent a very nice afternoon milling it yesterday. I haven’t had the time to do very much mill, so I am very pleased with the results.

    A nice stump from last week.

    We price by the job, we tried pricing by £ per inch but found we lost jobs that way. Only experience will make you good at pricing, and that takes time and knowledge of your machine (we still make the odd mistake). It’s also good to have a minimum charge that is realistic for small jobs.

    Keep the machine you have and then get Carlton 7015trx

    You are too far for us, which is a shame, going on what information you have provided, our Carlton 7015trx would have 80 8" stumps out in about hour, so 2 hours on site with getting on top of the bank and clean up and about a mornings work with with our rayco 1625. The price you have mentioned seems very steep, but everyone has their own running costs.

    That all sounds good, very difficult when nobody has bought one yet, with regards to build quality and reliability. What engine and hp is it and what's the total width? Cheers Chris

    What was it like when you got it deeper into the ground? i.e. Wheel spinning slow, big teeth and lots of wood chip and soil, did it have the power to press on or did it slow down even more? Looks a nice size machine though, but have to agree needs the remote control.

    We use aftermarket green teeth on all our machines, we use them until they are blunt then replace with new ones. I can't stand the thought of sharpening teeth, Tungsten isn't something I would want to use a grinder on even with a mask, plus there's better things to be doing than sharpening teeth.

    We use this safety guard system, they are not cheap but when you think about the consequences of someone being injured, or the cost of damage to property, they are not that expensive.

    I never sharpen stump grinding teeth, just put them in a box, when the box is full I get the gas axe out and separate the tungsten from the steel and weigh it all in separately.

    Hi Johny, I was just wondering how you get on with your 4012?? (Yours looks to have done a good job on those Lime stumps) We have one and I am not impressed with it compared to the Rayco 1625 we have. The 4012 has the 27hp Diesel engine on it and seems under powered, plus it will get stuck on a flat lawn, let alone rough ground. Cheers Chris.

    A large wellingtonia (10ft) stump from last week.

    We get new toggle switches form Farnell Element 14, last time I stocked up on them, they were half the price of the main deale and they are identical switches.

    We purchased a second hand 4012 this year, it's very well built but it will get stuck on a flat lawn, never mind a slope, we have a Rayco 1625sj which we have had stuck once in 11 years and that was on the kind of terrain our 7015trx would struggle with ( that was before we got the 7015). We run all our grinders on none genuine green teeth, they are a lot cheaper and seem to last as long, and the financial benefit out weighs the difference in quality.

    I ground out a Silver birch stump that had a heating oil pipe running through the middle of it, that was a right mess to clean up.

    I would be very careful of welding on your grinder if it has a remote control, i would have a look in the operates manual. I have a carlton 7015trx I am positive it says disconnect the radio receiver before welding. It's worth a quick look.

    We have had a carlton 4012 for a couple of months now and couldn't agree more with the traction problem, I have never had a grinder that gets stuck so much. Luckily we kept our old Rayco 1625 and we have 7015trx so we pick and choose the jobs the 4012 goes on.

    Good to see you today Shaun, we got a lot. See you on the next one. Cheers.

    Hi, would like to give you a price, just need to know where about's you are in East Northants. Cheers Chris.

    Hi Morris, I was just wondering where in the country you are/woodland? Cheers Chris

    As a second chipper and it would be a second hand purchase, what is your opinion of the Timberwolf 75/230, with regards to longevity post 1000 hours, for the engine mainly but also other wear and tear parts as well, plus use-ability and it's ability to process brash wood as well as cord wood efficiently. Many thanks in advance.

    Dentinox teething gel, work well as a short term solution.
