Hi all,
Just found this forum and thought I might be able to answer some questions.
Red Roo spent over a year working with JP Carlton to secure the distributorship for Australia and the equipment is spec built for them. Red Roo is the only Carlton distributor worldwide to have been granted the rights to market Carlton equipment under a private label.
The 1260 6" is available now in Australia with either a 35hp Vanguard or 33hp Kubota turbo diesel.
The 1790 9" units are due in a couple weeks and have either an 88hp or 99hp Kubota turbo diesel.
The 2012 12" units are available now are equipped with a John Deere 140hp 4.5l turbo diesel. Winch standard.
Carlton began manufacturing chippers in response to Bandit building grinders. JP Carlton sold a lot of Bandit chippers (they were a Bandit dealer) and it is no secret they used the Bandit units as templates - same as Bandit used the Carlton grinders as a template.
The 18" Carlton disc unit is not imported into Australia and Red Roo has no plans to do so.
In the interest of full disclosure, I work for Red Roo.
Cheers!
