That should be the revolution wheel. A buddy of mine owns a 7015 with the revolution and a 7500 with Greenteeth. Having run both for awhille, he prefers the Greenteeth to the Revolution. More aggressive, and 3 sides to a tooth. We just put greenteeth on our vermeer 502 and man, it totally changed that machine. I'm actually kind of impressed with it now. Huge Greenteeth believer now after our experience and hearing from a few friends.

THE CALM ONE!!!!
Even though that's a sweet unit and I'd love to have it myself as I do grind stumps occasionally
Stumpgrinding sucks.

Someday I would like what Stehansen had. Nice tow behind... Or something for the mini.. either way... the mini will place it.
It will never earn it's keep. It i a cold blue moon when I am even asked. I have referred people to both Stehansen and two local guys. No buyers.
I would probably have a better investment in an excavator for stump removal.. But the option would be nice..

You just need to find your happy place when grinding!

You are exactly right Rajan! Stump grinding can be mind numbing, the faster it is over with the better. That was the nice thing about the big tow behind, even the biggest stumps only took 15 minutes. The machine only had 395 hours on it in 19 years.

Grinding is so much more enjoyable with a high HP machine.

I've actually never minded stump grinding. With a small machine it does suck big time, but running anything above 40hp or, I don't mind. Pop some headphones in, turn on some good music and I'm good to go for a day of grinding.

Same here hence the handle flushcut. Sense buying a bigger stumper I really like grinding stumps. I just need to figure out how to mount an umbrella and I am golden, or not because I'm in the shade. lol

Today was the day!
Dad on the left, the truck driver on the right.
The aluminum ramps were already in the trailer, I loaded it my usual way. Tight fit with the ramps taking up 16"!

Picking up the back of the F550 at full reach!

It looks like double the machine. How much weight are you able to pick up when using the thumb?

It only weighs 30% more, ~12" wider over the tracks, but with quite a bit less tail swing length.
The thumb needs work to grab a log, but here is the chart which is 87% of hydraulic capacity or 75% of the tipping load.

Carl you are a financial whiz. Ive always been scared of those big purchases, probably bit me in the butt over the long run.
