    gotta order teeth for both grinders tomorrow, gonna find how much a decal set is for the small machine. I bet rayco will want at least 200$ for em

    I just bought a full set of aftermarket teeth from Vermeer for $75. They tried to sell me on having them change my pockets over and using their teeth for $350. I said no thank you. I have used these aftermarket teeth for replacements with no problems. They are only like $4.65 a piece. The teeth Vermeer wanted to change me over to were twice that. However, I have not ground anything with a full set of these teeth yet. I'll let you know how it goes after my next stump.

    I'd like to know how they work out for you too. What grinder do you have?

    It's just a small self propelled walk behind Mike. Rayco RG 20 HD. I'll let you know. I am looking for an economical teeth option as I have been doing a lot of grinding in rocky terrain of late.

    Let me know how you like them, for that kind of $ I may have to switch. I wonder how they hold up with a higher hp machine . I know rayco sells their super teeth for 12.00 a pop and like another 2.00 each for the bolts. Last time I did brand new teeth and bolts on both grinders I want to say it was around 800$ with shipping

    Nothing great today... just cleaned up half of a willow that fell over in the storm, and then got rid of the standing half. Had that done by 1:00, then went fishing for busted branches off the crane.

    Was about to make 1 cut today with the 44 in the tree, sure enough the pull cord breaks. I love that saw, so I was a bit upset when I had to go to a different one. Had a friend pick me up a new 362 from the saw shop, see how that works out.

    If it didn't break off too short just pop the cap off the handle, feed the cord through and tie a stopper knot in it. I had to do that with my old 200t and it has held up for two years as such. Just haven't got around to replacing the cord yet.

No more with the bandit dealer for a long time (hopefully) after this...
    Wow, that's sounds like a serious case of rape on the decal set. I purchased just the bandit decals for our 250xp and it was 80 something bucks, I didn't order the safety decals though. Some how they only sent one of the discharge shoot decals though, so I need to give them another call and get that straightened out. We haven't put any of them on yet.
