Any opinions on Bandit HB 19 Stump Grinder

[Frank]

I just bought a brand new Bandit HB 19 self propelled 20 HP walk behind stump grinder. Any feed back from you guys out there on this model. I'm just getting started (part time) grinding stumps.

Wouldn't it have been better to get feedback before you purchased?

Does seem kind of backwards. Bandit has only started making grinders after many years of chippers. I have not seen any in use yet. Anyway, welcome to site and keep us updated as to the machines performance. Good luck with your business and be careful.

Agree, It was backward. There happens to be a bandit dealer close by, probably the major reason for my choice. There are some local guys with big machines but none with walk behind units. Thought I could get the smaller jobs, through fences etc. Any advice on using a walk behind unit?

Using a walk behind with no hydraulic swing will keep you in good physical condition. Drink lots of fluids.
