Stump Grinders for Sale in Arbroath
When grinding makes up a consistent part of your livelihood, purchasing a grinder first does away with perpetual rent and moreover ensures the machine is ready in your yard for any scheduled work. We point you towards new FSI stump grinders across the entire pedestrian and self-propelled range. We also offer pre-owned machines from FSI and other premium brands as they enter our stock.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Looking for variety? The FSI pedestrian range features 4 superb models, rising in output and volume from the smallest to the biggest!
Designed as the smallest available model, the B21 serves part-time users, garden care contractors, and operators needing infrequent grinding alongside tree care. To move up, the B22 and B28 models provide increased engine power and heavier frames.
These devices provide faster grinding with slightly more aggressive cutters, and that ideally satisfies professionals operating the machinery multiple times per month as opposed to fortnightly.
The B-38 is the biggest pedestrian model in the range, designed for teams who work daily, require greater cutting power, and require a walk behind unit that matches light tracked units on appropriate projects.
For arboricultural businesses acquiring their initial dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 provides a excellent balance of price and capability. If you already tackle weekly projects, the B38 pedestrian machine is the best choice to ensure you never run out of power during any contract.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
Within FSI’s self-propelled family, the D30, D60, and D74 lead the way, offering track and remote-control configurations on the D30. This compact gem is the smallest of the self-propelled grinders. Indeed, it is a great all-rounder for contractors ready to outgrow ordinary gear.
You can select tracks for sharp inclines and unstable terrain, or choose the radio remote configuration if operator positioning is important during your usual projects.
Set to improve your productivity? The D60 delivers a more robust, stronger grinder built for business volume and large stumps! Meanwhile, the flagship D74 is made for high-volume contractors, councils, and operators tackling heavy hardwood and wide cuts.
We can carefully guide you across the differences in cutting wheel dimensions, engine power, and total weight, so that you never end up making an inappropriate purchase.
Used stump grinders in Arbroath
We periodically acquire used stump grinders from well-regarded brands including FSI, ensuring every machine undergoes thorough workshop testing before being offered for sale. Our specialists carefully inspect and transparently report on important elements such as cutting wheel integrity, hydraulic efficiency, and documented engine hours.
Should a machine needs to have servicing or replacement teeth prior to sale, this necessary maintenance is meticulously completed before the final retail price is established.
Choosing second hand machinery is a logical option for a number of reasons. It allows arborists to obtain an extra grinder, gives teams with essential backup capability during busy periods, and helps new businesses to acquire reliable kit without expensive upfront costs.
When buying a stump grinder in Arbroath makes more sense than hiring
When does buying make full financial sense? It is when you are grinding all the time, renting for extra weeks than finance costs, or fully needing a grinder ready at very short notice!
Possession is essential for workforces demanding continuity. Operators deliver superior throughput and safety on habitually utilised machinery, meaning the output benefits of operating the same grinder throughout the year become clearly apparent in yearly performance data.
Stump grinder hire in Arbroath
Locating the right match is important, which is why our hire fleet of FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders is suited to your particular task rather than making an unsuitable machine to battle. We deliver peak performance. Before every hire, our workshop team thoroughly services each machine, adding sharp carbide teeth, verifying hydraulic levels, and running up the engine.
You will not receive a overused rental machine that has already completed multiple intensive contracts this month with worn cutters and a slipping belt.
Our stump grinder hire Arbroath fleet
For walk-behind jobs, our FSI walk behind grinders deliver the best solution for home gardens, narrow side entrances, and compact commercial tasks where a tracked unit seems unnecessary. Such machines travel through typical garden gates and tread softly to protect your lawn, easily conquering stumps between 18 and 24 inches wide depending on the species.
We provide tracked self propelled FSI grinders for major projects, featuring radio remote configurations that keep operators safely clear of the cutting wheel. Tracked units are the best choice for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and sites requiring multiple stump removals daily. Tracks also handle steep slopes, soft ground, and unstable terrain that would readily overturn a pedestrian unit.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Rental very well suits crews whose stump grinding volume cannot currently support a purchase, contractors undertaking a special clearance far beyond their usual scale, and crews refusing to lock up valuable capital in equipment used only a few days annually.
Hiring works well for operators of a pedestrian unit who from time to time require a tracked grinder. Securing the larger machine for a few days works out cheaper than buying equipment that will remain unused for the majority of the season.
Why go for a random machine? Partnering with a specialist ensures you get the ideal grinder for your specific project. Select a generic depot that rents pressure washers and floor sanders alongside your stump grinder, and your precision kit receives the very same routine maintenance as a standard cement mixer!

Stump Grinder Arbroath FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Arbroath?
Equipment scale and rental duration dictate hire tariffs. Standard hire chains supplying compact 13hp petrol units define the lowest market tier.
While premier pedestrian FSI grinders attract greater daily rates, their swift operation cuts onsite time, making the final cost for each individual stump far more economical.
Tracked machinery featuring self propulsion commands the premier daily rate whilst delivering the largest volume of cutting. Please call 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an accurate quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Run on foot through hand steering, pedestrian grinders offer a lightweight and compact design that is well optimised for domestic gardens and very limited residential spaces.
To open, tracked grinders move forward on hydraulic tracks, using more powerful engines and larger cutting wheels for hardwood stumps and high-volume contracts. Conversely, pedestrian machines reach tighter spaces and provide lower daily running costs.
Move fast! Tracked machinery speed up the pace of jobs, penetrate deeper underground, and effortlessly conquer substantial hardwood stumps!
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
The cut depth of your cut depends on the relevant model. Pedestrian FSI grinders typically go several inches several inches underground, which reliably prevents regrowth and prepares a level surface for new lawn to flourish.
Are you planning to plant again, pave or build over the cleared spot? Our bigger tracked machines go much lower! Just let us what is going there next and we will recommend the best cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Arbroath?
