Stump Grinders for Sale in Bonnyrigg
When grinding is a regular part of your livelihood, buying a grinder first eliminates perpetual rent and also ensures the machine is prepared 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 provide pre-owned machines from FSI and other premium brands as they enter our stock.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Searching for more choice? The FSI pedestrian range features four superb models, increasing in output and size from the lightest to the most powerful!
Seeking a neat powerhouse? The B21 works well for part-time users, garden maintenance contractors, and operators seeking a grinder for odd jobs alongside tree work! Want more muscle? The larger B22 and B28 seriously increase the engine output.
Operating with a quicker grind and more forceful cutters, they perfectly suit the committed user who operates machinery a few days a month rather than every fortnight.
As the foremost pedestrian option within this range, the B38 serves operators performing regular grinding who demand greater cutting power from a walk-behind machine capable of matching light tracked equipment under the relevant conditions.
For arb enterprises purchasing their inaugural dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 delivers an excellent blend between performance and price. Alternatively the B38 offers a superior choice for contractors carrying out weekly stump grinding who require a pedestrian machine guaranteed to maintain ample capacity throughout demanding commercial agreements.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
FSI equips their self propelled range with the D30, D60 and D74, providing track and remote control options on the D30. As the smallest grinder, this model is a superb all rounder for contractors switching from pedestrian machinery.
You can choose tracks for sharp inclines and soft terrain, or opt for the radio remote configuration if operator positioning is crucial during your typical projects.
First, switching to the D60 introduces a more substantial, tougher machine designed for commercial scales and substantial stumps. Then, the D74 represents the premier model in this collection, designed for productive contractors, local councils, and specialists tackling tough hardwood and wide diameter timber.
We shall lead you across the differences in cutting wheel size, engine output, and weight to help ensure your acquisition exactly matches your operational needs.
Used stump grinders in Bonnyrigg
We supply used stump grinders from FSI and other manufacturers as stock comes in. Our workshop checks every machine prior to sale, issuing transparent reports on cutting wheel condition, hydraulic health, and engine hours.
If a machine requires servicing or replacement teeth prior to sale completion, this important maintenance is thoroughly completed before the final retail price is determined.
Selecting second hand machinery is a sensible choice for various reasons. It enables arborists to add an extra grinder, provides teams with vital backup capability during peak periods, and helps new businesses to acquire reliable kit without significant upfront costs.
When buying a stump grinder in Bonnyrigg makes more sense than hiring
Putting money into ownership represents the more economical economic path when your grinding is regular, annual hiring weeks are greater than the cost equivalent of a finance payment, or operations rely on having a grinder available at short notice.
Possession remains essential for workforces demanding consistency. Users attain higher speed and protection on habitually utilised machinery, meaning the output benefits of running the same grinder all year become very noticeable in seasonal performance data.

Our stump grinder hire Bonnyrigg fleet
For manual applications, we provide FSI walk-behind grinders perfectly suited for home gardens, residential side accesses, and more modest commercial tasks where a tracked unit is not needed. These useful machines readily pass through standard garden gates. They also move smoothly over your lawn without causing turf damage, whilst reliably tackling stumps between 18 and 24 inches in diameter, depending on the particular wood species.
To accommodate substantial projects, we offer tracked, self propelled FSI grinders, including models featuring wireless remote controls that permit operators to keep a safe distance from the active cutting wheel. These tracked machines make the best choice for housing developments, local authority roadside projects, golf course clearances, hardwood extractions, and high volume daily stump removal. Additionally, their tracks effectively navigate steep inclines, soft earth and challenging terrains that would easily destabilise standard pedestrian machinery.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Hiring very well serves crews whose stump grinding volume cannot currently warrant a purchase, contractors carrying out a special clearance far above their usual scale, and crews choosing not to lock up important capital in equipment used only a few periods annually.
Do you own a smaller pedestrian unit but sometimes land jobs needing a tracked grinder? Hiring is the ultimate solution! Hiring the larger kit for just a few days costs much less than buying a machine that remains idle all season.
Choosing a specialist ensures you obtain the precise grinder for your particular task, rather than just settling for 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 standard care as a cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Bonnyrigg FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Bonnyrigg?
Hire rates fluctuate according to both equipment dimensions and the lease duration, whilst well-known store chains offering compact 13hp petrol models generally constitute the entry level of the market.
While dedicated pedestrian FSI grinders carry a more expensive daily rental rate, their superior operating speed delivers quick clearance, ultimately cutting the overall expenditure per stump once time on site is calculated.
Tracked self-propelled machines attract the greatest daily rate but deliver the greatest cutting volume. Phone 0141 775 9288 along with your project specifications for an exact estimate.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Run on foot through manual steering, pedestrian grinders offer a lightweight and compact design that is perfectly optimised for domestic gardens and extremely confined residential spaces.
To start, tracked grinders propel themselves on hydraulic tracks, employing higher-performance engines and larger-diameter cutting wheels for hardwood stumps and high-volume contracts. Conversely, pedestrian machines enter tighter spots and provide lower per-day running costs.
The tracked machines operate with efficient efficiency, cutting lower underground to remove the largest hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
While depth may vary by machine, pedestrian FSI grinders typically delve several inches beneath the turf to effectively halt regeneration. This keeps the earth nicely level. Soon, fresh grass will quickly reclaim the space.
Bigger tracked machines deliver increased depth, vital if you are planning on replanting, slabbing, or constructing over the area. Describe your future ground plans. We will identify the exact unit to deliver your required cutting depth.
