Pics! Get it in some offroad kinda position for a stump and take a pic, like one of those perfect ad pics you come across when working.

If I may ask, what kind of price was it?

 

[stump grinder]

It worked out to be around $26,000 including the 8% NY tax. I also got 2 extra sets of teeth and a completer filter kit too.

Nice, good luck with it, keep us updated as to how it is working for you.

Is the chain-drive to the cutter wheel very noisy compare to a belt?

i only did the one stump while i was trying it out before i bought it. I could not hear any noise from that area at all. quieter and different for sure.

I like how the belt housing was made thinner, I dont think a chain would be a bad idea at all....I wonder if it is like a Harley primary chain?

Does it crawl very fast? Mine is just to slow, it takes forever to get to a backyard.

Wonder why Rayco doesn't list ground travel speed on their specs for the 1645.

Wonder why Rayco doesn't list ground travel speed on their specs for the 1645.

Because they would need to list it as ' How many times you run over your own foot per hour".

I drove over my foot twice this week.


I know I know, I should spend $40k on a unit with a remote LOL.

The chain looks to be a #50 in the manual. I don't think it is a special chain. I has two speed travel. Also a remote is suppose to be available maybe this fall. I see the Austrailian rayco site shows it as available now. I also remember running over my foot many times with my 1625.

I also used to run over my foot with my 1625 now and then. Hurts like heck, doesn't it??
Glad to see Rayco is finally making remote control available on a grinder. They are kind of late to the party.

or the Sandvik wheel.

Raycos have the slowest ground speed out that i know of.

I'll be nice so, it sounds nice and quiet and I like the blade.

That might be one of the most rotten stumps I've seen!
