Stump Grinders for Sale in Barnton
Why keep on wasting money on continual hire fees when grinding is your trade? Having your own gear means it is always in your premises, on hand! We supply the entire range of new FSI stump grinders, covering both pedestrian and self propelled options, plus used FSI and alternative leading brands as they arrive.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Seeking something different? The FSI pedestrian range provides 4 excellent models, rising in strength and volume from the smallest to the largest!
Looking for a neat powerhouse? The B21 perfectly suits part-time users, garden maintenance professionals, and operators wanting a grinder for odd jobs alongside tree work! Want more muscle? The larger B22 and B28 seriously step up the engine output.
Need quicker grinding? Those machines use sharper cutters, which makes them a real dream for busy operators using equipment a few days a month rather than once a fortnight!
As the largest pedestrian option you can choose, the B38 is engineered for operators who work on a regular basis, requiring superior cutting capabilities and a walk behind unit that successfully competes with compact tracked machinery in the right conditions.
For arb enterprises investing in their initial dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 offers an ideal equilibrium between capability and cost. Alternatively the B38 presents a better choice for contractors carrying out weekly stump grinding who need a pedestrian machine designed to maintain ample capacity throughout demanding commercial agreements.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
The self-propelled range from FSI covers the D30, D60 and D74, with tracked or remote-controlled versions available for the D30. This compact model serves as a versatile versatile option for those progressing from manual machinery.
Looking to overcome soft ground and slopes? Simply add tracks, or opt for the radio remote configuration for perfect operator positioning!
First, upgrading to the D60 introduces a more substantial, hardier machine designed for commercial scales and substantial stumps. Next, the D74 represents the premier model in this collection, crafted specifically for productive contractors, local councils, and specialists tackling tough hardwood and wide diameter timber.
Do you want to steer clear of choosing the unsuitable model? We will walk you through each and every cutting wheel size, engine output, and weight to make sure of the best match!
Used stump grinders in Barnton
We provide quality used stump grinders from FSI and various manufacturers as stock arrives. First, each machine undergoes a detailed workshop inspection before sale, where we check and honestly report on the cutting wheel, hydraulic condition, and engine hours.
If a machine requires servicing or replacement teeth prior to sale, this important maintenance is thoroughly completed before the final retail price is set.
Wanting to expand your fleet? Buying used gear is a stellar move for tree surgeons looking to add another grinder, busy crews needing a backup, or fresh startups needing capable kit without that massive new machine cost!
When buying a stump grinder in Barnton makes more sense than hiring
Investing in a personal grinder makes strong financial sense once the daily workload picks up. Truly, once cumulative hire fees exceed finance payments, or sudden project demands demand a grinder at short notice, ownership supports your future.
Dedicated leadership supports operators that need consistency. Initially, operators become more efficient and safer by operating familiar machinery each day. Therefore, the output benefits of operating the same grinder throughout the year will improve your periodic figures.

Our stump grinder hire Barnton fleet

Are you currently tackling a few massive projects? We supply high-quality tracked self propelled FSI grinders, featuring smart radio remote controls to keep operators fully safe from the spinning cutting wheel! Those tracked units are truly perfect for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, or multiple stump jobs. Plus, those tracks effortlessly conquer steep slopes, soft ground, and rough terrain that would tip any pedestrian unit!
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Hiring is ideal for these three groups, including operators with low stump grinding workloads, contractors overseeing a major one-off clearance, and crews who prefer not to tie up capital in equipment they only need for a few weeks each year.
Do you own a smaller pedestrian unit but from time to time snag jobs needing a tracked grinder? Hiring is the ultimate solution! Hiring the larger kit for just a few days costs way less than buying a machine that remains idle all season.
Choosing a specialist ensures you get the precise grinder for the job, rather than what is left at a general depot. Hire a stump grinder from chains supplying pressure washers and floor sanders, and your equipment gets the same routine maintenance as their cement mixer.
