    Any vermeer sc362 reviews?? Anybody

    Go to the Greenwheel with 900 series Greenteeth. Huge increase in productivity and a big drop in fuel consumption. Been using one on a SC352 repowerd with the Briggs fuel injected engine for many years and it saved me from buying a larger machine. 6 teeth vs 20 teeth means less drag and more...

    Vermeer SC352 stump grinder cutter wheel

    That plate is on a taper and needs the puller wound up as tight as you can get it then smack the end of the puller with a large hammer. The plate will come off the shaft at a fair rate of knots so make sure you stand to one side as it usually hits you in the shins or wedding tackle. I have...

    Vermeer sc502A gear box

    Buy the Green wheel, you won't regret it. Priced around the same, cutters easy to sharpen and machine gets through the stumps up to 50 percent quicker. We have found grinder runs cooler and uses a lot less fuel.

    vermeer 352 stumpgrinder Turbo charger

    The engine was sold as a Briggs and Stratton. Try them, they should be holding parts. We replaced one of ours with an aftermarket turbo and it was the same make [IHI] with a different no. Any Diesel Injector shop should be able to source them. They don't like dirty oil, it will destroy the...

    It's the shape of the Green wheel that makes things run faster. No mulch building up in the hole like a round wheel.

    900s. 6 teeth vs 20 teeth. It's a no brainer. Threw old Vermeer wheel in scrap metal bin, teeth and all. No going back, the change was that good.

    GreenwWheel

    I'm using the green wheel on a sc352 Vermeer and love it. Fuel cost has dropped, engine runs cooler and at full revs without bogging down and the cost of teeth has at least halved. Every time we use the machine, we save money. You can't get higher praise than that. Just don't be too aggressive...

    $10,000 repair bill, help

    Try a 2 or 3 cylinder air cooled Lombardini diesel. Owned by Kohler so should be easy to obtain and bullet proof. The 2 cylinder is 28 hp and the 3 cylinder is 42 hp. We use them in New Zealand on chippers and they have been used on stumpers before. Giving a very long life on the chippers. Just...

    Where has the 372 Vermeer gone?

    I was looking for the specs for the 372 Stump grinder and found they have disappeared off the Vermeer website. Are they that ashamed of it or has it gone out of production. Maybe a new machine is on the way, but i thought they would keep something available until it arrived. Anyone heard anything?

    lower gear box gasket

    Remove the grinding disk and large nut, then use a threaded puller on the driving flange. It's on a taper so when the tension is on the puller, hit the end with a hammer. It will come off with a bang so stand to one side. Then undo the bolts holding on the flange where the shaft exits the...

    looking for a vermeer mechanic, Mass.

    Remove the guard, belts and gearbox pulley. Then you only have 4 bolts to undo and the top gearbox lifts out. Slide the top of the driveshaft onto the gearbox shaft and fix in place then reassemble in reverse order. Don't use the same top universal yoke again because it will have probably...

    vermeer 352 trouble

    It sounds like you have broken the tension pin that holds the driveshaft to the top gearbox. If you turn the cutter wheel and get a banging noise coming from the square tube between the gearboxes, you have found your problem and a strip down is needed. We found the top universal joint where it...

    Vermeer 352 grinder , daihatsu engine

    Blew Diahatsu engine at about 450 hrs. Bought new engine and fitted it and have run 1000 hrs with no problems since. When new engine was fitted we did an rpm check to make sure everything was correct which it was, but found the new engine was running slower than the blown engine. When we put the...
