Stump Grinders for Sale in Bathgate
When grinding shapes your daily livelihood, buying your own machinery banishes those repeated rental fees, securing a dependable asset standing ready in your yard for the next call. This offers genuine independence. We provide pristine FSI stump grinders spanning the full pedestrian and self-propelled portfolio, accompanied by reliable secondhand units from FSI and other premier marques entering our stock.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
The FSI pedestrian range offers four separate models, which steadily grow in power as well as capacity from the lowest to the largest.
Built as the most compact model, the B21 serves sporadic users, garden care contractors, and operators needing infrequent grinding alongside tree care. For a further step, the B22 and B28 models deliver increased engine power and heavier frames.
Operating with a faster grind and more aggressive cutters, they perfectly suit the dedicated user who commands machinery a few days a month rather than fortnightly.
The B-38 is the biggest pedestrian model in the range, made for crews who work daily, want superior cutting power, and require a walk behind unit that competes with lighter tracked machines on suitable projects.
For arboricultural businesses acquiring their first dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 provides a excellent balance of cost and capability. If you already handle weekly projects, the B38 pedestrian machine is the perfect choice to ensure you never run out of power during any contract.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
Looking for something beyond walk-behind kit? FSI’s versatile self propelled family spans the D30, D60, and D74, with track and remote control options on the D30! This space-saving grinder is the ideal all rounder for ambitious contractors.
Equip tracks to manage soft terrain and gradients, or choose the radio remote system if operator placement is important on most of your projects.
Selecting the D60 secures a robust, stronger grinder engineered for commercial volumes and larger stumps. The leading D74 caters to high capacity contractors, councils, and specialists managing hard hardwood and extra large diameter cuts.
We explain the differences in cutting wheel size, engine power and weight to make sure you do not get more than necessary or less than necessary.

Choosing second hand machinery is a sensible choice for several reasons. It allows arborists to obtain an extra grinder, gives teams with important backup capability during peak periods, and allows new businesses to acquire robust kit without high upfront costs.
When buying a stump grinder in Bathgate makes more sense than hiring

Stump grinder hire in Bathgate
Our hire fleet includes FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, so that you select the right machine to the particular task. We thoroughly maintain every grinder between hires. We attach sharp carbide teeth, check hydraulic levels and test the engine before any unit departs the workshop.
You will not receive a overused rental machine that has already finished multiple demanding contracts this month with degraded cutters and a sliding belt.
Our stump grinder hire Bathgate fleet
Our walk-behind range features FSI walk-behind grinders tailored for residential gardens, tight residential access, and lighter commercial tasks where tracked machinery is not needed. These agile units effortlessly traverse ordinary garden gates, safeguard lawns from turf rutting, and readily tackle stumps up to 18 to 24 inches in diameter, depending on the species.
We rent 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 repeated stump removals daily. Tracks also master steep slopes, soft ground, and unstable terrain that would readily overturn a pedestrian unit.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Renting is particularly suitable for three specific groups, including operators handling low stump grinding volumes, contractors handling a significant unique clearance, and crews that would rather not tie up capital in equipment they only need for a few weeks annually.
Hiring is suitable for operators of a pedestrian unit who only sometimes require a tracked grinder. Securing the larger machine for a few days costs less than acquiring equipment that will lie idle for much of the season.
Selecting a specialist ensures you secure the right grinder for your specific task, rather than just taking whatever is available at a general depot. Buying a stump grinder from a chain dealing with pressure washers and floor sanders means the equipment is given the same routine care as a cement mixer.

What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Looking for easy control? Pedestrian grinders are manual walk behind machines you guide yourself. Being lighter and compact in design, they really handle well small home garden jobs!
Using hydraulic tracks, tracked grinders run mighty engines and large cutting wheels to conquer hardwood stumps and massive contracts! Meanwhile, smaller pedestrian machines fit through narrower spaces and are cheaper per day.
Think fast! Tracked machinery speed up jobs, reach deeper underground, and effortlessly handle large hardwood stumps!
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
While depth can vary by machine, pedestrian FSI grinders typically reach several inches beneath the turf to effectively halt regeneration. This keeps the earth smoothly level. Soon, fresh grass will quickly reclaim the space.
Larger tracked machines deliver increased depth, essential if you are planning on replanting, slabbing, or building over the area. Set out your future ground plans. We will identify the exact unit to deliver your required cutting depth.
