Stump Grinders for Sale in Dornoch
Whenever grinding represents a reliable source of revenue, purchasing a grinder removes recurring hire costs and ensures the machine is on your premises for immediate deployment. We provide new FSI stump grinders throughout the entire pedestrian and self propelled range, alongside used machines from FSI and other leading brands as they come into our inventory.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
The FSI pedestrian range offers four distinct models, which gradually increase in power and capacity alike from the most compact to the largest.
Designed as the most compact option, the B21 perfectly suits intermittent operators, garden maintenance contractors, and professionals requiring a grinder for occasional tasks together with broader arboricultural duties. In turn, the B22 and B28 offer increased engine power and overall weight.
These units offer speedier grinding and utilise a little more forceful cutters, which perfectly suits professionals using the machinery several days monthly instead of twice monthly.
As the biggest pedestrian option you can choose, the B38 is designed for operators who operate on a routine basis, requiring excellent cutting capabilities and a walk behind unit that competently rivals compact tracked machinery under the appropriate conditions.
Arboricultural enterprises incorporating their initial specialist stump grinder often discover that the B22 or B28 offers an effective equilibrium between output and investment. As an alternative, the B38 serves as a superior option for specialists undertaking weekly grinding assignments who require a pedestrian model with sufficient power to carry out extensive projects reliably.
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 most compact model acts as a excellent versatile option for operators moving from manual machinery.
Equip tracks to master soft terrain and gradients, or choose the radio remote system if operator placement is critical on your usual projects.
Switching to the D60 introduces a more substantial and sturdier grinder designed for commercial applications and substantial stump clearance. Representing the premier model in this series, the D74 serves high productivity operators, local authorities, and specialists tackling dense hardwoods and wide diameter timber.
We outline the differences in cutting wheel size, engine output and weight to make sure you do never buy too much or less than you need.
Used stump grinders in Dornoch
We occasionally acquire used stump grinders from reputable brands including FSI, ensuring every machine undergoes comprehensive workshop testing before being offered for sale. Our specialists carefully inspect and clearly report on key elements such as cutting wheel integrity, hydraulic efficiency, and documented engine hours.
Should a machine require new components or servicing, that work is always finished before any price is officially set upon the sales floor.
Looking to expand your fleet? Buying used gear is a smart move for tree surgeons adding 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 Dornoch makes more sense than hiring
Buying becomes a wiser financial option if you use a grinder regularly, rent for a greater number of weeks annually than finance payments cost, or need to have a grinder instantly available.
Looking to supercharge team reliability? Ownership is key! Once operators use the same grinder daily, they become more efficient and safer, delivering significant productivity gains that look really fantastic in your final seasonal figures!
Stump grinder hire in Dornoch
Want the ideal tool for the job? Our amazing hire fleet offers FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, ensuring you always have to force a wrong machine! Every single unit gets a meticulous service before hire. We install sharp carbide teeth, inspect the hydraulic levels, and run the engine up before departure.
You are not accepting handover of a tired rental asset overworked on back-to-back jobs with worn cutters and a slipping belt.
Our stump grinder hire Dornoch fleet
For pedestrian tasks, we provide FSI walk-behind grinders perfectly suited for private gardens, side accesses at residential properties, and smaller commercial jobs where a tracked unit is not required. These useful machines easily 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.
For more substantial commissions, we provide tracked self propelled FSI grinders, featuring radio remote configurations that allow operators to remain comfortably distanced from the spinning cutting wheel. These tracked designs offer the ideal solution for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and locations demanding large-scale daily stump clearance. In addition, tracks masterfully negotiate steep inclines, soft ground, and undulating terrain that would quickly destabilise a pedestrian alternative.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Hiring is best for contractors with limited stump grinding volume to make buying worthwhile, teams handling a unusual clearance project far exceeding their normal capacity, and operators wishing to steer clear of tying up capital in machinery used only for a few weeks annually.
Leasing is well suited for owners of a smaller pedestrian unit who sometimes take on contracts requiring a tracked grinder, as hiring larger machinery briefly is far more economical than purchasing an asset that sits idle for most of the season.
Why settle for random machinery? Choosing a specialist makes sure you get the ideal grinder for your specific project. Select a standard depot renting pressure washers and floor sanders alongside your stump grinder, and your precision kit receives the same standard maintenance as a standard cement mixer!

Stump Grinder Dornoch FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Dornoch?
Rental prices are determined on unit measurements and the length of rental, whereas commonplace outlets providing small 13hp petrol machinery generally fall into the lowest-priced market tier.
Investing in professional-grade pedestrian FSI grinders calls for a premium daily rate, yet they conquer stumps with impressive speed. Swift work. Factoring in saved site hours makes up each clearance cheaper.
While tracked self propelled machines command the premium daily charge, they deliver the largest volume of cutting. Please get in touch with 0141 775 9288 along with your project details for an accurate quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Operated on foot, pedestrian grinders require manual effort and guidance. These lightweight, narrow machines are well suited for private gardens and limited residential areas.
To open, tracked grinders travel on hydraulic tracks, using higher-performance engines and larger cutting wheels for hard-wood stumps and high-volume contracts. In contrast, pedestrian machines reach tighter spaces and provide lower day-to-day running costs.
Move fast! Tracked machines accelerate jobs, go further underground, and readily conquer large hardwood stumps!
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Whilst depth of cut varies by particular model, pedestrian FSI grinders usually cut down several inches under the surface, preventing regrowth and ensuring a level area for later grass establishment.
Bigger tracked machines reach greater depth, important if you are planning on replanting, slabbing, or building over the area. Outline your future ground plans. We will identify the exact unit to deliver your required cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Dornoch?
Whenever used FSI and other machinery arrives through part exchange, our specialist workshop carefully inspects and prepares them, before we offer each one with a fully truthful assessment report.
Our curated inventory shifts with every new week. If you’d like to secure a specific model, we will gladly note your name for a direct arrival update.
What other brands of stump grinder do you service?
We repair and look after FSI, Predator, Carlton, Vermeer, and Bandits stump grinders within our workshop. We offer planned servicing, fault repairs, cutting wheel refurbishment, and parts supply, regardless of where you originally purchased the machinery.
