Stump Grinders for Sale in Balloch
When grinding forms a steady part of your livelihood, acquiring a grinder first does away with perpetual rent and also ensures the machine is set in your yard for any scheduled work. We direct you to 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)
4 models make up the FSI pedestrian range, increasing in power and capacity from the most lightweight to the largest.
The compact-sized B21 caters for occasional users, garden maintenance professionals, and operators needing a second grinder alongside regular tree work. The B22 and B28 models provide increased engine output and build.
Such machines work more quickly and employ more aggressive cutters. This setup is suitable for operators using equipment multiple days per month rather than fortnightly.
Seeking the most substantial pedestrian model in our range? Built for dedicated crews needing real cutting power, the mighty B38 is a walk behind unit that readily rivals light tracked machinery on the right jobs!
For arb enterprises purchasing their inaugural dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 offers an ideal blend between capability and cost. Alternatively the B38 presents a stronger choice for contractors executing weekly stump grinding who need a pedestrian machine designed to maintain ample capacity throughout demanding commercial agreements.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
FSI provides a self propelled range made up of the D30, D60 and D74, featuring optional tracked or remote control configurations on the D30. As the smallest self propelled grinder, the D30 provides an impressive, flexible transition for professionals progressing from pedestrian machinery.
Add specialised tracks to handle steep inclines and loose terrain, or opt for the radio remote configuration when operator positioning guides your day-to-day projects.
Choosing the D60 secures a robust, higher-powered grinder engineered for commercial volumes and more substantial stumps. The leading D74 serves high-output contractors, councils, and specialists managing dense hardwood and extra large diameter cuts.
We will carefully guide you over the variations in cutting wheel dimensions, engine power, and total weight, ensuring you never end up making an incorrect purchase.
Used stump grinders in Balloch
We regularly acquire used stump grinders from well-regarded brands including FSI, ensuring every machine undergoes thorough workshop testing before being offered for sale. Our specialists thoroughly inspect and transparently report on crucial elements such as cutting wheel integrity, hydraulic efficiency, and documented engine hours.
Does a piece of machinery require new teeth or a thorough service? We perform all that essential work before the amount is ever set on the floor!
Looking for your fleet? Choosing used gear is a stellar move for tree surgeons adding another grinder, busy crews needing a backup, or fresh startups needing reliable kit without that significant new machine cost!
When buying a stump grinder in Balloch makes more sense than hiring
Choosing ownership represents the better economic path when your grinding is ongoing, annual hiring weeks are greater than the cost equivalent of a finance payment, or operations depend on having a grinder available at short notice.
Possession stays essential for teams demanding continuity. Operators deliver higher speed and protection on habitually utilised machinery, meaning the output benefits of operating the same grinder all year become highly apparent in yearly performance data.
Stump grinder hire in Balloch
Our hire fleet includes FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, helping to ensure you select the most suitable machine to the specific task. We carefully maintain every grinder between hires. We install sharp carbide teeth, review hydraulic levels and run up the engine before any unit exits the workshop.
You definitely won’t take away an overused hire yard model that has finished six jobs this month with blunt cutters and a faulty belt!
Our stump grinder hire Balloch fleet
Our hand-pushed range features FSI walk-behind grinders tailored for domestic gardens, restricted residential access, and less demanding commercial tasks where tracked machinery is unnecessary. These agile units readily traverse typical garden gates, protect lawns from turf rutting, and readily tackle stumps up to 18 to 24 inches in diameter, depending on the species.
When dealing with substantial works, we use tracked self propelled FSI grinders featuring radio remote technology to leave operators safely distanced from the active cutting wheel. These tracked machines are the ideal choice for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and any site requiring thorough daily stump clearing. Crucially, rugged tracks smoothly conquer steep slopes and soft terrain that would easily topple a standard pedestrian unit.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
How come purchase when you can rent? Renting is the best option for operators without the regular stump grinding volume to justify buying. It is ideal for contractors taking on an unusually large single project, or crews wanting to avoid locking in vital capital in temporary machinery!
Do you own a smaller pedestrian unit but from time to time land jobs needing a tracked grinder? Renting is the ideal solution! Hiring the larger kit for just a few days costs way less than buying a machine that sits idle all season.
Relying on a focused specialist ensures you get the ideal grinder for the job, rather than anything that is sits on a generic hire shelf. It is a vital distinction. Hiring a stump grinder from an outlet dealing with pressure washers and floor sanders means your essential kit only is given the rudimentary care given to a muddy cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Balloch FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Balloch?
Hire costs depend on equipment size and the duration of hire, while standard outlets supplying small 13hp petrol machinery generally sit in the bottom market tier.
Opting for professional grade pedestrian FSI grinders requires a larger daily outlay, but they clear stumps far quicker, which eventually reduces your overall cost per stump by saving valuable time on site.
Want the ultimate cutting volume? Tracked self propelled machines are the most expensive the most daily but give massive results! Call 0141 775 9288 with your job details for a proper quote.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Hand-steered, pedestrian grinders are operated on foot. These slender, lightweight machines gracefully conquer confined domestic spaces and domestic gardens.
Propelled by hydraulic tracks, tracked grinders utilise higher-performance engines and bigger cutting wheels to manage hardwood stumps on high-volume contracts, whilst pedestrian machines access restricted areas at a more affordable daily cost.
Think fast! Tracked machinery speed up jobs, go further underground, and easily conquer substantial hardwood stumps!
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Whilst the cutting depth varies by specific model, pedestrian FSI grinders typically cut down several inches below the ground surface, stopping regrowth and providing a flat area for later grass establishment.
Bigger tracked machines achieve increased depth, vital if you are planning on replanting, slabbing, or developing over the area. Set out your future ground plans. We will identify the exact unit to deliver your required cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Balloch?
