    Can someone recommend some used chipper models to compliment sc252 grinder?

    My grinder budget is in the sc252 zone and you guys gave me good suggestions with that. I am now looking for a smaller, but not useless chipper. I will have to buy used and am wondering what used models are worth looking at. Something that is similar to the sc252 grinder, where they are...

    Possibly purchasing used sc252 grinder- couple questions, looking for suggestions

    Actually, yeah, lol, I should have said front tires. Either way, grinder wheel side. Apparently, they could have been purchased with or without the outer wheels. So, I guess that is the question. Are they all set up for it and you just purchase the outer wheels or is it more complex than that?

    Can a second set of rear tires and wheels be added easily to those that only have two rear tires? Thanks.

    Possibly purchasing used sc252 grinder- couple questions, looking for suggestions

    Thanks. It looks like they have made many varieties of this machine. I have now seen one the has 2 steer wheels and they are hydraulic. I have only seen one like that. I also see some say they have auto sweep, where others do not. What is the opinion on auto sweep? Is this a good feature...

    Possibly purchasing used sc252 grinder- couple questions, looking for suggestions

    These machines seem to be in my budget. I have rented much larger machines and realize that this will go slower. But, I have seen some videos where there are several teeth and some where there only 3 teeth. I also hear that green teeth will help. Anybody have suggestions on how to make this...

    Looking for smaller stump grinder. Is the sc 252 the right one for me?

    The hillside versatility will be nice. What are the weak points of this machine? I am used to Kohler Command twin cylinder engines. I believe that is what is one these things.

    Looking for smaller stump grinder. Is the sc 252 the right one for me?

    Hi Everyone. I am looking for a smaller stump grinder that will be adequate, but not a beast. I rented an sc 852 last year and that is WAY more machine than I would be able to purchase. I am looking for used and less than 10k. I live in NY at there are mostly Oak and maple trees in the area...

    could use some advice using a vermeer sc852 stump grinder

    I have access to this stump cutter for the weekend. I could use some advice on how to use it. Do I use it a peak rpm? It seems like the machine wants to take a large bite. In other words, I can breath on the boom stick to go down and it goes down quite a bit and then the machine seems to be...

    Need to repower an old log splitter - please advise

    ok. I call surplus center and they are looking for the shaft diameter and want that measured diagonally. They want the same measurement on the bolt circle on the pump. They also want the pilot diameter. I am hoping all of this will make sense when I tear into this in a few weeks. Thanks.

    I bought a predator 13hp 420cc engine to repower an old log splitter.

    I just realized that I had an old post and rather than starting a new one, I updated the old one. Can a moderator delete this thread?

    Need to repower an old log splitter - please advise

    I purchased the Predator 420cc engine. Can you guys tell me what I need to get this to work with the splitter that I have that is mentioned in the first post? Do I just need the flange or motor mount that goes between the pump and engine. Thanks.

    I bought a predator 13hp 420cc engine to repower an old log splitter.

    I could use some help getting this new Predator engine hooked up to this old log splitter that I inherited. It originally had a 10 hp Kohler. The Kohler has no compression. Please let me know what info I need to get to you to help me hook this engine up to the current pump and hydraulics...

    Could use some help cutting down tree that is leaning away

    Thanks Yarz, I bought my supplies, and have some plans. But, I stopped and moved on to other things because of the Coronavirus. If something did go wrong, I didn't want to be "that guy" that then diverted the power company, highway department or God forbid, medical attention to my address...

    Need to repower an old log splitter - please advise

    Wow, I can't believe all the love for the HF engines. I like HF too, but never even considered them for this application. Sounds like I should put them in the running. I only thought of Kohler and Honda.

    Need to repower an old log splitter - please advise

    I have an old log splitter with a 2500 psi 5 inch bore ram with a 24 inch stroke. It has a 10 gallon fluid tank. It has a 10hp Kohler that no longer has compression and a 16gpm pump. I would like to repower it. I am considering the company www.splitez.com. I would think that the 9hp Honda...

    Will the MS 251C be good for my needs?

    My understanding was that the ms250 had slightly more torque, almost negligible, but did not have the same anti vibration system and therefore not as nice to run.

    Will the MS 251C be good for my needs?

    I think he is going to go with the local Stihl dealer because he needs the dealer support. So, you guys say go with the 251 over the 251c with the tool less chain adjuster? That chain adjuster does have me concerned as something that could go wrong. Thoughts? Thanks again.
