One more thing.. He had his thumbs on top of the safety bar! YIKES! I've had kickback from our 13hp Rayco stump grinder and it near on broke my thumb... It's nothing like saw kickback.. 10x the force easy. Just a bad habbit that should be ridded ASAP.
Keep the vids coming and when are ya gunna get a bloody hardhat? |
The guy on the stump grinder is my mate Shaun, i don't have a grinder so i sub-contract all my stumps out to him.
I will tell him you thought he was my groundie, i'm sure he will be pleased to hear that.
As for the brake, on those RedRoo stump grinders they have this pathetic drum brake set-up.
Saun tells me that it has never really worked properly since new, he has adjusted it, modified it and so on but it just keeps wearing out or filling up with rocks etc...
This is the second RedRoo grinder he has had, and they both never worked properly.
He has been using them for years and has gotten used to using them without a brake.
Overall he says it's a great little grinder though.
Thank you for the reminders about PPE, i am actually wearing proper earmuffs now instead of ear plugs.
I might just go and get those hard hats this week.
(do you know if Akubra make a kevlar hat?)
