Vermeer 652

[alpineman]

Any of you guys run a Vermeer 652 grinder. I am looking at purchasing one. Dealership quoted me $41,700. I have rented the machine about 12 days in all and I love it. I have also rented the 352 and can't stand how little power it has. We don't have a rayco dealership here in Denver, even though I like the rg 50. Any thoughts...

I would at least consider the Carlton also.

Even if you don't have a dealer in your area Bandit would still probably sell you a machine, unfortunitely you wouldn't have the dealer support. If you are going to go with a Vermeer I would recommend the SC60TX. That machine can go anywhere and has a decent amount of power. Unfortunitely you would have to buy a trailer to haul it around. At times the electronics can be a pain, but if you have somebody that knows how to work on the machine then you should be fine.
