Just bought the same machine with shot bearings. You happy with the power? Any pointers on issues to watch for? Does yours have auto sweep?

Yikes .... It's a beast

I love it and the power. I see you have the same control linkage problem on the controls. No biggie, easy fix. If yours is a Deutz it is probably 72hp and more than enough power. Disabled auto sweep. Also replaced all the rubber on the skirt to a thicker, heavier rubber. I will get a pic.

So in between dropping off mixers and bar oil, I take it this machine is your baby? Cool. What happened to the grease fittings that they all needed replacing??

Oh, Jeffers... I need a new pole saw blade!! I was good with it, but the ground guy bent it pulling a hanger. Now cutting is tough. Thanks in advance...

Yup, late last year in went down and needed rebuilt. The problem with that is that it was late 2013 and it was a Tier 3, 72hp and we would not be able to use it in a couple of months. So we set up some demo's around the 35k to 45k and they were nice, but after you have a 672 everything seems to take too long.

Nothing, they are cheap and I replace zerks probably twice a year on a lot of equiptment, ,,ie,,the bearing zerks on the cutter wheel on a 672.

What control linkage problem? All the controls worked fine. What do you run for teeth and how rocky is your soil? Our dirt is half rock here so teeth get destroyed all the time. This machine is set up for yellow jackets but I don't know how well they will hold up.

I might at some point but I'm not spending more than I have to on this machine right now. Already has an almost new cutter wheel on it. How rocky is your soil down there, Jared? Teeth look annoying to change on the sandvik.

 

[2treeornot2tree]

It's pretty rocky. Teeth on my sandvik are easy to change. Just one nut to take off and put on for each tooth

Just keep the yellow jackets on it, they are not the best but easy to change and your already set up with them. We have them on our track machine and they are ok, not as messy as the green teeth I hate those things. A new river set up is in the future when our wheel wears out.

 

[treevet]

what do you hate about green teeth?

 

[luckydad]

On a 75hp grinder they tend to make a bigger mess to have to cleanup after. We haven't tryed then on our track machine tho.

Interesting to know. I was considering converting my 65 hp machine with Pro Teeth for ease of changing. No such problems with my tracked unit tho.

 

[no tree to big]

Dunno our 752 that sound right? Having a brainfart... Makes a big ass mess regardless...

I've yet to run a neat stump grinder.

 

[no tree to big]

I love grinding easy stumps with the 752 and just taking off to the next one while your clean up crew follows or I should say tries to keep up

Clean up crew???? That's the guy who is working the controls.
