I would bet it is the PolyChain. If it sounds like a banging this is what it is. You have to move the cutter wheel bearings to tighten it. Make sure you loosen them slightly then turn the adjustment bolts the same amount and retighten the hold down bolts. They aren't going to have to...

You will outgrow both machines very quickly! I realize you say you only do trimming - but why limit yourself? A 6" machine is really only good on 3" stuff. And that better not have branches and crotches in it - or you will be trimming everything down to straight little sticks. Get a...

Be careful on these old ones - a couple things that must be taken care of. 1st - and most important - are the jackshaft bearings pillow block style where all 4 are carrying the speed of the jackshaft or are they flange type where only the outside 2 carry the jackshaft and the inside 2 carry...

On the remote it is probably the E-Stop. Don't buy it from Carlton or you will pay 5x what you can find it on line for. It is easy to replace - just take the face off the transmitter and go to it. A little tight inside the transmitter but nothing bad. The Kohler engines won't rev up if...

You got this all screwed up! It is a 60HP engine not a 200HP as you titled this thread. Also if it only has 200 hours on it and was well maintained why does it look like crap? Look the oil filter. Pass on this one!

The Hurricane is a belt drive machine This looks to be a hydraulic head machine

The 60TX is an old machine in Vermeer's line. I would avoid it. I had the predecessor to the 60TX and it was junk. I had a Vermeer tow behind - it cut good but was built too light. Rayco has a new 74 track that looks interesting - either that or the Carlton. Let us know what you get!

How did the demo go? I agree with Grinder52 - go remote - you will never go back!!!

That engine looks like a 140 - 4 cylinder John Deere - not a 175. And those tracks are way bigger than those on my 7015TRX

I tried out the smaller Toro - terrible!! It is a great idea but there is reason Rayco tells you not to buy theirs if you plan on contracting stumps. These machines are for the homeowner rental market.

It has lights on it for oil pressure, temp, alt - and a shutdown system if any of these should alarm. You run it wide open when cutting anyway. I've got hundreds of hours on mine and never thought I was missing out by not knowing.

You need to stay with the same displacement Kohler engine if you want it to bolt right up. You have to think not only about the belt drive system but also about the hydraulic pump drive and the housing that holds the pump in place. This is specific to that Kohler engine. More horsepower is...

If you drained the fluid - refilled but did not have any fluid to the pump - or you started the engine while the fluid was drained - even for a fraction of a second- your pump could be ruined. It only takes a fraction of second to ruin a pump - I've done it. Once the system is flooded with...

40 hours on a set of teeth in this horsepower class is way too many!!! I would suggest all new teeth and then go grind - as teeth dull and performance goes down it happens so fractionally you hardly notice until all the sudden you realize the machine is cutting like crap. On low horsepower...

A guy named Raymond Johnson over in southern GA. And this is for the Sandvik teeth - which are more expensive because they have harder carbide and large carbide. I know it is a bargain - that is why I don't do it myself!!! Tool Grinding Services 649 Woodcrest Road we sharpen stump grinder...

Personally I think resharpening teeth myself is a waste of my time. I can send them out to be resharpened for $3 each and spend my time grinding stumps at $250 to $300 / hour. I've tried resharpening teeth - not only do you have your time invested but also the grinding wheels. The carbide...

Make sure the speed adjuster - which is an adjustable oriface - is definitely turned all the way in. Sometimes if these have not been moved in a while they will freeze in place - I would suggest turning it all the way out and then back in to make sure it is turning - make sure the little T...

If I remember right my SP7015TRX is 5400 pounds. This is the track version. She ain't light, but she's right!

Is everything slow or just the swing? Make sure the pump belt is tight and not slipping. Does it have auto sweep? (better known as auto sleep!)

A hydrostatic drive on with that horsepower = mistake!! I used the Toro 38HP and it was a joke - my old original Rayco 20HP Magnum Jr would out cut it. Hydros are nice if you start with a ton of horsepower. If it would work on small horsepower don't you think Rayco would have done it...
