Its been a while since I posted and have been busy looking at Grinders, of the self propelled, 4 wheel variety.
Like the look of the Bandit 29 HP Diesel (Lombardini)...........the motor gets a bit of bad press, but seems good machine otherwise, although over a grand for the cutter wheel bearings (around $550 each) seems a bit over the top.
The Red roo 35HP petrol (Vanguard) looks pretty good, similiar to the bandit diesel. Wonder if anyone has experience with this, or either outfit, that they would be good enough to share. I prefer diesels but the 33hp Kubota Red Roo seems to be about $5K extra. Might have a better resale perhaps if you upgraded to larger machine down the track.

Open to any info. on any good used machines, but need to be in first rate order to avoid down time.

Regards to all, bill24.

Time for the "joke of the year'..........scroll down......
