Sorry can't comment on the machine but I wouldn't buy a carlton because no one around me sevvices them or sales parts. They(carlton) told me to go to a tree company's mechanic to get it worked on. I'm thinking what the $^$%^^ !! no way!!!
i think that all the other stumpers are on holiday or flat out busy cos it has been as boring as you like for stumping threads lately.....carlton 2000..never used one...sorry..
