Default Alpinemagnum: what about?

Before to buy it, asking the opinion of whoever use - own it... I will only seldom make stumpgrinding, and most time on difficult access conditions. Thank you guys

Interesting looking machine. Looks like it would be dangerous and especially hard on the lower back. Never seen one used though.

Not dangerous to use....well, it can be delicate on some slopes....

I use mine mostly for stumps that can't be accessed with a normal self propelled machine. It is very fast when the teeth are sharp, but they dull easily upon impacting rocks. So, a lot of digging is required...that's harder on the body than using the machine..which is also tiring, for sure.

But the ability to make $150 or so per hr is nice.

I have one and once you get the hang of it , its not hard to use at all. Dose come in handy when you don't have access to a back yard. I have picked mine up and walked in the front door and out the back. H.O. was impressed that i got a nice tip.
