Carlton sp7015trx

[Bailey Foresty]

Has anyone replaced there old Carlton sp7015trx for a new kubota powered one ?
Is there very much difference in preformance/productivity?

I would imagine. There's quite a bit more horse power with the kubota

I bought a wheeled version SP7015 AWD with the Kubota 66HP engine tier III emissions, oil cooler, grading blade, Razor cutting wheel and wireless remote this past September. It replaced a 4400 (similar platform) with a Deutz 44HP. The new one grinds twice as fast, takes 45 minutes on a 5' diameter Poplar stump. Very pleased with it, was also pleased with the old one.

I can not imagine there would be much difference. The older 7015TRX I had, was powered by a Deutz 60hp engine. The new ones have the Kubota 66hp diesel. I don't think 6hp will make much difference.

My bad. I was thinking about the 8018. The new engine on that is a 99hp vs the 78hp I have on mine

One thing about Deutz is they make a lot of torque. I have an 873 Bobcat with Deutz and have run an S250,(pretty much same size but newer) with a kubota. The Kubota is rated a few hp more but the deutz hangs in there better when you are really working it.

Everyone I have talked to says the 66hp Kubota is awesome!
I am looking at purchasing a new SP7015 4x4 version with the 66hp Kubota, razor cutting system, and hydraulic blade.... Carlton has quoted me $60,500. Anyone have any idea just how low I may be able to get them to come down on that price?

If that is what they quoted from the Carlton factory, then you can expect to pay that amount. Their price is what it is, usually. They are building as many as they can, and have a backlog. Why would they offer any discounts??
You might be able to negotiate some of shipping cost though. That is what I did. I met their salesman out on the road at a half way point., to get free transportation. That saved me nearly $1000.00.

I have a 2005 7015 that had a deutz (German for piece of guano) I went through 3 engines in the past 4 years at 8000 each! On the up side I ground over 8000 stumps per year with it.
Last November I loaded it up and hauled it to Spartanburg and had Carlton do a total factory rebuild including retrofitting it with a new Kubota cost was 17k with paint and other things I had done. I thought it was a great deal seeing the price of a brand new one. The Kubota has 10% more power and nearly 35% more torque
So in short yes it is an excellent idea to upgrade. Not to mention 25% GPH less fuel consumption. So now the Carlton will work close to 8 hrs on a full tank of fuel. This is my '05 machine with a new Kubota engine and new paint on it!

Nice!
I saw a video of a man that had several 7015trx machines with the Deutz and now one with the Kubota. He said there was a 50% increase in production. I did not see how that could be but? He also may have moved from Greenteeth to the Evouloution wheel, not sure. What would you say the increase is ?

 

[Fairbanks Stump]

Could be a lot of factors but HP/torque and weight and cutting agression are the only factors that make a difference in a Stumpgrinder if he upgraded from a green wheel to a new river wheel and did the Kubota swap at the same time I'd believe a 50% increase in production a swell as a 30-40% net decrease in tooth cost if he sharpens the teeth himself on the machine!
There is nothing even close even machines with 40 more horsepower can not compete with a good operator and a 7015 and sandvik teeth
NOTHING

I am working to that end. Couple more commercial clients...
Love your logo.
Stay out of the carbon dust!

There are many factors that go into turning that stump into dust.
Condition of hydraulics, belts, bearings, teeth, all conspire to rob you of horses.
We'll see if the Kubota engines hold up well. The certainly work well in Bobcats.
