Bluebird grinders

Hi,
anyone know anything about Bluebird stumpgrinders? are they worth getting as far as small grinders go? Can you put a bigger motor on them? they come with a 13h.p. Honda, same as Husqvarna 13h.p. grinders.
Cheers

They've been around for a fair while. Husqvarna just put their name on them. Same machine, just like Vermeer does with the Praxis.

I wouldn't bother with either really.

The Husky's a bit of a toy IMO.

I rented a bluebird grinder with a 13hp before and it was a joke....i think i woulda be better off using a cordless drill. how ever it was a rental so teeth were far from sharp but if i were you save up and get at least a 20 hp like Eric said. i have a vermeer 186 most people on here probley dont know what it is the the sc252 but 3 models before. works good for me.
if i were you i would think about renting one and seeing how you like if before you buy it. just my thoughts good luck to ya
