I have a miller T140H and have no problems at all with it. It also has a revolution wheel on it.

We read all of the reviews and had only heard of a few serious problems with the Miller units. It seems quality control has gone down with the new ownership. Now if you google Miller stump grinder it will take you to Arbor wolf
Who is ArborWolf | Miller Machine | ArborWolf seems they bought out Miller at some point in 2015 . I understand having a few new machine teething problems but this was a entirely different level .

The Miller had so many problems in the first 35 hrs that they want it sent back to them, with no concern for the job that we need to complete . From what we are finding out the Miller was bought out by the Stonebrook group and quality has gone out the window. It was supposed to come from the factory ready to hook up to our Cat machines. Not only were they not wired for the Cat machines but they were half assed wired ! They tried to blame the wiring on our dealer that we bought the unit thru. So a few hundred dollars in micro electronic crimpers and pins later we now have 5 out of 6 functions. Then all of the hydraulic fittings were marked as tightened yet they all leaked, Every single fitting ! Then we think we have it up and running for a bit only to have two o rings blow out at different times at the fitting block and dump all the fluid out of the machine twice ! And the final was the wheel is scoring the housing on the drive pump and we believe the wheel has a crack in the weld. We have pics of all of the problems. Nor does the wheel seat to the hub properly. Their only answers were to send it back. I'm going to send it somewhere alright ! Our only contact is a guy in customer service who tried to do his job but it is obvious that his hands are tied
As for the Woods, it has been our saving grace , fingers crossed. Here is a pic of the miller dumping oil while the Woods continues to work

@Marek. Firstly, I take responsibility as an owner of ArborWolf, and apologize for your issues. Secondly, we would like to do whatever it takes to resolve your issues, so that you can give your Miller a glowing referral. As discussed, we would like to pick your unit up and bring it back to the factory to resolve its issues. When we talked on November 6th to arrange pickup, you were unable to give the unit up because it was in-use on a large land clearing job. I will email you soon to get an update on when we can pick it up.

As you noted in a later post, this is not consistent with the well-known quality of the Miller products. We purchased Miller in early 2015, and tried hard to make it a seamless experience for our clients, to that point that we retained the long-standing manufacturing processes, machinery and manufacturing staff. I feel bad that we've failed you, and look forward to resolving your concerns to your satisfaction.
