kan du stump grinder

[kurtztree]

has any body used the kandu stump grinder? is it better then the vermeer sc252 or rayco super junior for grinding stumps any faster or slower

 

[Stumper]

Like Treeco, I doubt that it is equal to let alone superior to a Rayco or Vermeer of similar size. But, in defense of little manufacturers-They use mostly "off the shelf" industrial parts. It the company were to fold there probably isn't much you couldn't fix with a welder or a trip to a bearing and belts supplier or hydraulics source.

This identical question was asked a few months ago. Search past threads and I believe you will see the Kandu cannot do.

kan do

I believe the company went under last year. but parts can still be bought for the machine. very good machine only drawback is it becomes very unstabe when wheels are folded in.

They still advertise in the trade rags and have an active website: http://www.kan-dustumpgrinder.com/specifications.htm

I remember seeing these machines back in the early '80's, so they've been around awhile.

stump cutter

we use a carlton 2700 water cooled backyard .have no problems also we have a remote ,which is very handy you can see what your grinding.have own the vermeer and rayco carlton is a better unit .but it is heavier.

the kan du stump cutter sounds like junk. the vermeer sc252 works great but is slow on the bigger guys. the raycos are more updated for mobility, power and backyard stumps.

thank you guys for the reports wont go with that grinder

Kan-Du

I have one. They can cut much faster than Vermeer. They are also a high maintenence machine. Parts are easy, but you need them more often. Not junk, but the wheel drive (cutter wheel) is chain and needs too much attention. I also have a Rayco RG-50. Now that is a great machine!

Thanks

I'm new to this. Thanks a lot. Is there anyway to remove old stuff?

 

[2dogs]

TM I wasn't complaining. I should have been more diplomatic. Sorry.

 

[Treemann]

No offense taken

I have only replied to only three "threads" and gotten kind of strange replies. I've been grinding stumps for 9 years so I guess I am opinionated. thanks for your reply
