That handled the Umbrella tree alright. How does it go on Ironbark or Grey Box etc?

Ekka · 5th October 2007, 12:21 AM

That was an African Tulip tree, but I did a bauhinia stump, cuban palm, alex palm, cocs palm plus ... undoubtedly the toughest and hardest of them all, harder than iron bark.

Leopard tree (Caesalpinia ferrea aka Brazilian ironwood).

But that stump on the video had the most stump protruding and best camera shot. The others were a dust bowl.

It slaughtered the leopard tree, cut beautifully, real nice chips coming off not powder.

I give them the thumbs up, and I have ground a lot of stumps, the Leopard tree is the hardest no doubt. Palms, friggin blew them into the next neighbourhood, smashed them!

Tomahawk teeth RULE!

Be interesting to hear trev mc revs thoughts with them on his super junior,Im just out of standard teeth on mine so ill be changing over to tomahawks shortly on that,I did a fair few stumps this week with the tow behind and new (re-tipped) teeth brezed thru them...

Ekka · 16th October 2007, 05:25 AM

Well, did a ton of grinding today, the ole Tomahawks are well and truly worn but they powered on really well.

Most impressed, they stood up to rock and steel abuse really well too, I hit the old rio rod in the stump and also ground some granity rock.

a_lopa · 17th October 2007, 05:06 AM

Yes you get good life out of them,Ive been impressed in the same way..

Ace Master · 17th October 2007, 05:29 AM

We run Red Roo teeth they rotate 120o and have three working edges ,quick to do.

Ekka · 17th October 2007, 12:36 PM

Yeah, I haven't tried them and they have different sizes. The tungsten tip is slightly dished to give a sharper angled cutting edge.

Does the nut you have to undo to turn the tip 120 degrees ever get rounded off and unserviceable?

Ace Master · 17th October 2007, 11:00 PM

Yes the nuts do round off a bit ,but you ues a ring spaner.

Got em up n running. Pretty good. Grab the stump and stop the cutter wheel pretty easy if you gotta come down on top of a stump when theres no room to take a cut in front of it at the start. Like when its near a path or whatever.
Once your past that though they cut good.

Lets see how they wear. I'll probly change the straights more often but let the bents run down a bit more.
