| Just found this stump grinder on ebay. Does anybody have any experience with them? The price is right. It looks in good condition. (maybe for a reason) STUMP GRINDER - eBay Outdoor Power Equipment, Tools, Gear, Equipment, Gardening, Lawn Care, Home. (end time 02-Mar-08 00:29:20 AEDST)

| Geday PLAYFORDTREE, Saw that machine, Googled it, might be German, looks like its done very little work. Is very cheap if well designed, and Germans usually do. regards, Bill24. |

| G'day bill, ![]() i'm wondering why its so cheap and in such good condition? Maybe it's useless? It has an 11hp Honda, nothing special but ok. Your right about the Germans, they know their machinery.

| My hunch is coz it's gutless and Germany doesn't have too many hard woods like eucs. You'd possibly breeze thru poplar all day long. Next negative is it's a wheel along not self propelled. Smallest engine one I have used was 18hp Stump Humper, good machine. I had a 20hp Dosko that went good too, so does the RG20, I feel 11hp is getting to low in grunt.

| I don't know about the name but it's like the one I sold last year, a Dosko really but RedRoo copied them. Mine was 13hp but you can put any size motor on them, but they are push type so bigger motor, more push. They work ok. |

| I guess you could upgrade the engine to a larger HP. not sure what that would cost though? As for the "Push along versus Self propelled" debate. Ekka i suggest you sell me your Kanga and your homebrew setup. (cheaply mind you) Then go and get yourself a push along grinder. I've been watching your latest videos and your getting fatter than i am ya bastid! ![]()

| i ve got a 13hp rayco very similar to this i love it esp if you need to get in small spaces ( through houses) will grind happily down 200mm hardwoods arent a problem with sharp teeth as with most things it s about using sharp tools. advantage of these is 2 men can pick it up and put it on the back of a truck so you can tow a chipper and take the grinder too. not sure about the jockey wheel on the front though |

| [quote=playfordtree;23678]How big a stump would you do with it? Width/Depth Just out of interest how much did you sell for? (i understand if you dont want to reply )It was package deal sale but this one sold on Ebay about the same time in Brisbane for about $1700, Dosko still make them. I had another look & that is more like a Redroo, they aren't as heavy duty. I only used it for narrow axcess jobs, I could get thru 26" with the narrow wheels. 11hp would be a bit too slow I think. |

| Our 13hp just gets through the biggest of stumps.. We use it for everything. The 11hp I guess wouldn't be bad for palm stumps and the softwoods especially for $1000 bucks. Wtf with that jockey wheel at the front though... That thing would be a mega pain in the ass while transporting it. ![]()

| Would that model NOT have a clutch on it? I agree with johN D, it would upset the balance and add about 5 lbs to the nose.
