Friend of mines sent me this CL ad for advice :

Never hear of Promark.....Worth it ? parts available ?

I should a Lister Petter LV2 18 hp at 3600 rpm coming to me later this fall, might use that instead of a genset.

Same as the Gravely, and Dosko is pretty similar.

$1500 and no motor? I'd give that a miss. Haven't used one of them but seen a few Dosko's around years ago, they seemed to chip ok for small stuff.

At the moment I am just a small week end lawn and tree care guy who will be working a full time job during the week. Seeing as I can not find a large scale business willing to hire me I have to pull together anything I can find and afford for this season.

Below is a picture of what I have been using to make money off of the woody and leafy waste for the last several years.







The Briggs gas engine is being replaced with a Lister diesel I originally bought for a genset.





Laugh all you want, while you are, be thankful you can at the moment, life can make a fool out of a man such as it did me. I hope the seller reduces the price on the Promark, 6 inch would be a huge step up from the 3 inch my chipper can handle.

Do whatcha gotta do bro, if it's safe hammer it home. Just keep grinding then one day look outside and smile at the big Bandit in your shed!

What RPM does the little diesel spin?

 

[Walker]

Set it for 3,000 rpm, can do 3,600 rpm.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Oh, wow. Should be a good replacement then.

 

[Walker]

Much more powerful then the Briggs. Going with dual belts too.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Should be good. I bet it sounds better too.

I looked up Lister and it is quite interesting. Apparently they still make a knock off in India call the FuKing.
