Hey Marlon, Ive got an SG40 we run for a tree company, and its been a good machine. I have had it about 10 months, we have about 130 hrs on it and its ground a pile of stumps. The main issues I see on these machines, are O2 sensors and belts if you dont stay on top of them. We just had an O2 sensor go out at 116 hrs, replaced under warranty. Another thing that most dont talk about, is keeping the oil cooler clean. Its located under the plactic cowling to the left of the flywheel cover. Super easy to clean. I rotate teeth at 15hrs, and change them every 30. Keep good teeth and belts on her and I think you will be happy.
Thanks for the tips I grind about 10 stumps a month so I’m not running it everyday. I hope it will hold up. I really like the design of the machine. Are you staying busy have you seen a decline in work with the economy? Thank you for watching.
@@triaddirtworksllc.9444 I hope I didn't come off as a nag lol. I just like the look of them. I would wear one around town if people didn't look at me funny lol = )
Hey Mike l pulled one up online that looks like a pretty mean machine. That will be a nice addition to your machine. Let me know how it works. Thank you for watching.
Did you keep the Carlton 5014? I’m interested in the 5014 but holding for a moment as Bandit is releasing SG 40 with wheels. Dealer called today with one in stock. Thank you for any input.
Yes I did keep the Carlton. I haven’t been happy with it since I bought it. Bandit is the first track machine I’ve purchased and I absolutely love it. Spend a little extra for the tracks, you won’t regret it. Call me if you have any other questions. I am happy to help. (336)689-5409 Marlon

We just got an Erskine grinder for the Miniskid. Looking forward to seeing how it works in the field.
