  1. I did wonder if it was the best tool for the job...and yes, it's a handful...even with a remote...the switches have very little sensitivity... Mick you are absolutely right about a day for both. Actual grinding time would have been approx 6.5 hours I reckon, but cutting/digging foreign objects out, preparing the stumps and raking back chippings, took almost as long as the grinding.
  2. Two stumps, two days, is a good machine to use, but boring:001_rolleyes:
  3. Lime full of rot pockets and bits of flint....blunted three chains....the macra carpa had a rock in the middle of it
  4. First one I have used...have worked with people who owned them. Was a bit of a baptism of fire.
  5. Yes hired. The biggest one i could find.
  6. I dont think its lucrative enough for the drudgery...... no I suppose I shouldnt moan as money is money...but if i had any idea how boring it was would have put another 500 on it i think
  7. Having spent two days running this thing I pity anyone who chooses stump grinding as a way o life:thumbdown:
  8. Bump this one......Pete ported my somewhat poorly 576xp and has turned it into a beast....sound like a motorbike as well:thumbup:
  9. 560xp with full wrap, order it as per the part no. for the 562xp item. I got mine from DGM Garden machinery in Newton Abbot, was about 100 quid I think.
  10. Yeah it's good the only problem is its quite heavy itself so with that big lump of poplar the back wheels were floating:lol:
  11. Using a 635 on a big clearance job this wknd...definitely saves a lot of back ache:thumbup:
  12. Hi mate I know your area a bit I used to live in Paignton, can you get part time work delivery driving? Building supplies companies often do mainly morning deliveries or you could do a catalogue run or something?
  13. What everyone's forgetting is....they look cool as well!!!
  14. how long ago was that? i think its changing hands at the moment and should be improving a lot, what are the "other" reasons out of interest?
  15. There is also Eurogreen in worthing, Titnore lane, but they might not be too keen on taking fence panels.
  16. Its terrible stuff, good for sleepers and not a lot else. we had a big one to mill years ago the sawmill (Serra Bavaria) hated it and refused to cut straight. its not even much good for firewood as its a sod to split and it blunts chains.
  17. The full wrap is 505 15 69-01 and i got mine from Devon Garden Machinery in Torquay, speak to Nathan Nash in parts, his email is [email protected]. Not in stock but it will take about a week to come in.
  18. Have seen two tarmac type vans out on patrol, guys letter boxing houses watch out for your kit guys.
  19. :thumbup:Ive ordered one

  21. brilliant! do you have any more pictures of it, and of the head particularly that you can post? I want to copy it!!
  22. Yes that is it!! how well does it work?
  23. sorry it was a Bavaria not a montana.
  24. Hi all thank you for your replies that trailed one is just the sort of thing i was thinking of shavey! how are you building the head? also what are chainsaw mills like? really slow? ive attached some pics of the one i used to operate.
