Stump Grinders for Sale in Alness
Whenever stump removal constitutes a reliable pillar of your income, acquiring equipment removes recurring rental expenses whilst ensuring immediate operational availability at your premises. We supply brand new FSI stump grinders across the complete pedestrian and self propelled categories, alongside used machinery from FSI and other leading manufacturers as they become available.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Looking for something different? The FSI pedestrian range provides four superb models, increasing in strength and volume from the smallest to the biggest!
The small B21 is suited to occasional users, garden maintenance contractors, and users needing a back-up grinder alongside regular tree work. The B22 and B28 models deliver increased engine power and mass.
Delivering accelerated grinding capabilities with somewhat more aggressive cutting edges, this machinery ideally accommodates professionals who use their equipment a number of times monthly rather than on a two-weekly schedule.
As the leading pedestrian option in this series, the B38 is built for teams who use it often. It delivers strong cutting power, comfortably comparable to light tracked equipment when utilised on the correct projects.
Are you considering adding a first dedicated stump grinder to your tree surgery business? Selecting a B22 or B28 perfectly combines capability with price! For those grinding weekly, the B38 is the perfect pedestrian machine. It means you never run out of capacity halfway through a challenging contract!
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
Inside FSI’s self-propelled family, the D30, D60, and D74 stand out, offering track and remote-control options on the D30. That compact gem is the most compact of the self-propelled grinders. Indeed, it is a excellent all-rounder for contractors ready to outgrow ordinary gear.
Equip tracks to manage soft terrain and gradients, or opt for the radio remote system if operator placement is critical on your typical projects.
Climbing to the D60 brings a heavier, much stronger grinder built to handle large-scale commercial workloads and sizeable stumps. Then reigns the D74, our top flagship designed for busy contractors, councils, and operators confronting formidable hardwood and big diameter cuts.
We shall lead you through the differences in cutting wheel size, engine output, and mass to make sure your selection exactly meets your operational needs.
Used stump grinders in Alness
We offer well-maintained used stump grinders from FSI and other manufacturers as stock arrives. First, each machine undergoes a detailed workshop inspection before being sold, where we inspect and honestly report on the cutting wheel, hydraulic status, and engine hours.
Should a machine require replacement teeth or servicing, that work is always completed before any price is officially set upon the showroom floor.
Purchasing preowned equipment is a highly practical strategy for arborists looking to add a second grinder, teams requiring a backup machine for peak periods, or new enterprises seeking capable kit without the capital expense of brand new machinery.
When buying a stump grinder in Alness makes more sense than hiring
Purchasing becomes a wiser financial decision if you grind frequently, lease for more weeks annually than finance payments cost, or need to have a grinder instantly available.
For working crews, possession breeds a important familiarity. Operators grow quicker and safer when handling the identical grinder each day, a consistent rhythm that eventually leads to strong seasonal figures.
Stump grinder hire in Alness
Need the ideal tool for the job? Our amazing hire fleet offers FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, ensuring you always have to force a wrong machine! Every single unit gets a careful service before hire. We fit sharp carbide teeth, verify the hydraulic levels, and rev the engine up before departure.
You will not receive a fatigued hire yard machine that has already been through six contracts this month, complete with used cutters and a worn belt.
Our stump grinder hire Alness fleet
For pedestrian jobs, our FSI walk behind grinders offer the best solution for domestic gardens, narrow side entrances, and smaller commercial tasks where a tracked unit is unnecessary. These nimble machines travel through ordinary garden gates and move gently to guard your lawn, easily conquering stumps between 18 and 24 inches wide depending on the species.
For larger commissions, we provide tracked self propelled FSI grinders, incorporating radio remote configurations that enable operators to remain comfortably distanced from the spinning cutting wheel. These tracked designs provide the best solution for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and locations demanding large-scale daily stump clearance. In addition, tracks masterfully negotiate steep inclines, soft ground, and undulating terrain that would readily destabilise a pedestrian alternative.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Renting works for businesses whose stump grinding volume cannot yet justify an outright purchase, contractors undertaking a one-off clearance beyond their normal scope, and companies wishing to avoid locking up capital in machinery that is only needed several weeks per year.
Hiring works well for users of a pedestrian unit who only sometimes require a tracked grinder. Getting the larger machine for several days costs less than acquiring equipment that will sit idle for the majority of the season.
Trusting a specialist specialist helps ensure you choose the ideal grinder for the job, rather than whatever lingers on a standard hire shelf. It is a crucial distinction. Getting a stump grinder from an outlet dealing with pressure washers and floor sanders means your essential kit only receives the basic care given to a muddy cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Alness FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Alness?
Equipment scale and rental duration set hire tariffs. Standard hire chains supplying compact 13hp petrol units mark the lowest market tier.
Can you truly save money by paying more? Professional pedestrian FSI grinders have higher day-to-day rates but remove stumps so quickly that the cost per stump actually plummets!
Tracked machinery with self propulsion secures the highest daily rate whilst providing the largest volume of cutting. Please get in touch with 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an exact quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Operated on foot, pedestrian grinders require manual effort and steering. These compact, narrow machines are well suited for home gardens and limited residential areas.
To begin, tracked grinders travel on hydraulic tracks, utilising superior engines and larger-diameter cutting wheels for hardwood stumps and larger-volume contracts. In contrast, pedestrian machines access tighter spots and provide lower daily running costs.
Tracked machinery provides greater pace, achieves greater subterranean reach, and effectively tackles substantial hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depending upon the chosen model, pedestrian FSI grinders typically penetrate several inches beneath the surface, successfully preventing any regrowth whilst ensuring the ground is left perfectly level for grass establishment.
Larger tracked machines reach increased depth, important if you plan on replanting, slabbing, or constructing over the area. Describe your future ground plans. We will select the exact unit to deliver your required cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Alness?
When second-hand FSI and non-FSI brand machines arrive as part exchanges, our technicians thoroughly check and service each unit, offering them with a fully detailed condition report.
As our stock changes on a week-to-week basis, submit your enquiry with us to help ensure you be sent immediate notification when your preferred model arrives.
What other brands of stump grinder do you service?
