Stump Grinders for Sale in Alva
When stump removal makes up a consistent pillar of your income, acquiring equipment removes recurring rental expenses whilst providing immediate operational availability at your premises. We supply brand new FSI stump grinders across the full 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)
The FSI pedestrian range offers four distinct models, which gradually rise in both power and capacity from the most compact to the largest.
The small B21 is suited to intermittent users, garden maintenance teams, and operators requiring a back-up grinder alongside primary tree work. The B22 and B28 models deliver increased engine output and mass.
Operating with a quicker grind and more forceful cutters, they perfectly suit the regular user who commands machinery several days a month rather than every fortnight.
As the leading pedestrian option in this range, the B38 serves professionals undertaking repeated grinding who need greater cutting power from a walk behind machine capable of competing with lighter tracked equipment under the appropriate conditions.
Tree surgery firms purchasing their first stump grinder find the B22 or B28 offers an ideal mix of capability and cost. The B38 fits operators undertaking weekly grinding projects who require a pedestrian machine intended to deliver sufficient capacity until the contract is complete.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
FSI supplies a self propelled range including the D30, D60 and D74, offering optional tracked or remote control configurations on the D30. As the smallest self propelled grinder, the D30 delivers an excellent, versatile transition for professionals moving from pedestrian machinery.
Integrate crawler tracks to traverse uneven terrain and inclines, or select the radio remote configuration if operator placement is important during your standard projects.
Opting for the D60 provides a more substantial, stronger grinder engineered for business volumes and more substantial stumps. The top-end D74 is suited to high-output contractors, councils, and specialists managing hard hardwood and extreme diameter cuts.
Our experts will guide you across the key details of cutting wheel size, engine power, and overall weight. Accuracy is vital. Steer clear of buying more than you need or not enough.
Used stump grinders in Alva
We provide well-maintained used stump grinders from FSI and other manufacturers as stock comes in. First, each machine undergoes a comprehensive workshop inspection before purchase, where we assess and clearly report on the cutting wheel, hydraulic health, and engine hours.
Should a machine needs to have servicing or replacement teeth prior to sale, this important maintenance is meticulously completed before the final retail price is set.
Buying used equipment represents a highly wise option for arborists acquiring an further grinder, for teams wanting a backup machine during peak periods, and for new enterprises looking for capable machinery without major capital outlay.
When buying a stump grinder in Alva makes more sense than hiring
Buying becomes the better economic decision when you are using it regularly, renting for more weeks annually than a finance payment would need, or your workload means having a grinder accessible at short notice.
Proprietorship remains vital for workforces needing uniformity. Operators attain better pace and safety on habitually utilised machinery, meaning the efficiency benefits of running the same grinder throughout the year become very visible in periodic performance data.

Our stump grinder hire Alva fleet
In need of pedestrian machinery? We offer incredible FSI pedestrian grinders ideal for domestic gardens, residential side paths, and light commercial tasks where a heavy tracked unit is simply overkill! These nimble beasts effortlessly slide through standard gates, help protect lawns from unwanted rutting, and comfortably clear stumps from 18 to 24 inches in diameter.
We rent tracked self propelled FSI grinders for major projects, featuring radio remote configurations that allow operators safely clear of the cutting wheel. Tracked units are the correct choice for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and sites requiring several stump removals daily. Tracks also master steep slopes, soft ground, and unstable terrain that would quickly overturn a pedestrian unit.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Hiring ideally serves contractors whose stump grinding volume cannot yet support a purchase, contractors undertaking a special clearance far outside their usual scale, and crews choosing not to lock up significant capital in equipment used only a few weeks annually.
Leasing is well suited for operators of a more compact pedestrian unit who from time to time secure contracts requiring a tracked grinder, as renting larger machinery briefly is much more cost-effective than buying an asset that sits idle for most of the season.
Choosing a specialist ensures you get the precise grinder for the job, rather than what is left at a generic depot. Rent a stump grinder from chains that stock pressure washers and floor sanders, and your equipment gets the same routine maintenance as their cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Alva FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Alva?
How do rental costs work? Costs depend entirely on machine dimensions and your hire duration! Everyday hire chains with small 13hp petrol units usually occupy the more affordable end.
Skilled pedestrian FSI grinders attract increased daily rates but grind out stumps much more quickly. As they save precious site time, they offer a reduced cost per stump.
While self-propelled machines command the highest daily rate, they deliver unmatched cutting volume. This is true efficiency. Call 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an exact quote.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Looking for effortless control? Pedestrian grinders are hand-operated walk behind machines you guide yourself. Being lighter and compact, they really handle well restricted home garden jobs!
To begin, tracked grinders move forward on hydraulic tracks, utilising higher-performance engines and larger cutting wheels for hardwood stumps and high volume contracts. Conversely, pedestrian machines access tighter spots and offer lower day-to-day running costs.
Tracked machinery increases the pace of work, reaches more deeply underground, and extracts bigger hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depth capacities vary by version. Pedestrian FSI grinders dig a few inches below ground level, removing regrowth and leaving a flat surface ready for new grass.
For works that involve re-planting, slabbing, or construction over the old stump, our heavy-duty tracked equipment digs much deeper. First, describe your future ground plans to our team. Following this, we will readily recommend you on the ideal machine for your required depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Alva?
