That's the other advantage, you're able to walk around to the wheel, so you can see what you're grinding

I've been using radio remote for about five years now and I will never go back!

I'm with Cory on this one. I like to see what I'm doing. When I leave I know my customer got a good job. Setting up borads and grinding the entire area is the other option. I prefer standing behind the sheild and in one spot. People using remotes seem to walk around the machine and stand up by the cutter wheel anyways. It only takes a root ot small hole in the yard to trip and fall into that wheel. Not to mention not having any type of sheild to protect you from the flying chips and rock and who knows what. I know guys who use remotes would not trade them for anything. maybe I'm just too stubborn to really give it a chance. Vermeer is offering an optional remote to add onto any of their new machines. hmmm.

remotes are spendy as well.
I think mine was a $3500 option, (for the wireless).

Mine was $1,100. and worth twice that!

It's fun to send the grinder out about a 100 feet in front of you. People tend to get a little concerned about a run-away machine.
Last fall I got my mini stuck near the edge of a swamp. Luckily I had my grinder near by and pulled myself out. With the remote, I was able to operate both machines at the same time, worked out really well!

The RG85 and the RG90 use the same Duradisk, best I can tell. Why did he take it off? Any idea of what he wants for it and where it's located? (Guessing Ohio)
The old ratio wasn't 2:1, but there was an underdrive between the top and bottom sproket. Do you know the difference in the displacement of the motors? Equal wear would be cool, but it's not easily doable on the older machines. When you say higher torque it sounds like they (the new machines) have a larger displament pump, making the MA there instead of with the belt and pulleys. Interestingly our smaller sprokets wears SLOWER than the large sprockets.
We got 2k hours out of our old wheel, and it had life to spare.
With remotes it would offer better visability, and making a shield for those jobs where you need excellent viz. and want protection wouldn't be hard. There's also nothing to say you couldn't run the remote from behind the machine's
"normal" shield, although I would probably remove it.
On the majority of jobs here, you don't need that kind of vizability on the average stump, and when you did, you still can have it.

I'll PM you his number, then you can sort out details. I know it wasnt exactly 2:1. Displacement I'm not sure of, I'm just looking at engine torque specs. That is odd I've alway replaced the smaller sproket first, as it would spin more.

That's why we found it so odd.
I would imagine the RG100 would have a higher torque rise considering it has 13-16 more HP. A larger displacement motor (or lower displacement pump) serves to increase the final drive's input torque, in other words it's hydraulics way of making mechanical advantage.
Thanks for the info
