Stump Grinders for Sale in Drymen
When grinding forms a steady part of your livelihood, purchasing a grinder first does away with perpetual rent and secondly ensures the machine is prepared in your yard for any scheduled work. We guide you towards 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)
Featuring four distinct models, the FSI pedestrian portfolio progresses in both performance and size from the smallest model to the biggest one.
Made for intermittent jobs, the small B21 grinder serves garden professionals seeking an occasional partner alongside their daily tree care. It is very manoeuvrable. Beyond this, the sturdy B22 and B28 deliver more engine power and weight.
These units provide quicker grinding and employ somewhat more forceful cutters, which perfectly suits professionals running the machinery a number of days each month instead of every two weeks.
As the supreme pedestrian model in the line-up, the B38 caters to tireless crews who require high cutting capability. Complete performance. For the right job, this walk behind unit readily competes with light tracked machines.
Tree surgery firms purchasing their first stump grinder find the B22 or B28 delivers an excellent mix of efficiency and price. The B38 fits operators managing weekly grinding projects who require a pedestrian machine intended to maintain sufficient capacity until the contract is complete.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
Want to move on from walk-behind kit? FSI’s impressive self propelled family spans the D30, D60, and D74, offering track and remote control options on the D30! This small grinder is the perfect versatile machine for growing contractors.
Install tracks to handle soft terrain and gradients, or select the radio remote system if operator placement is important on your typical projects.
Selecting the D60 provides a heavier, more powerful grinder engineered for commercial volumes and bigger stumps. The top-end D74 caters to high capacity contractors, councils, and specialists managing hard hardwood and extreme diameter cuts.
We shall walk you through the differences in cutting wheel size, engine output, and overall weight to make sure your purchase closely matches your operational requirements.
Used stump grinders in Drymen
We occasionally acquire used stump grinders from well-regarded brands including FSI, ensuring every machine undergoes thorough workshop testing before being offered for sale. Our specialists meticulously inspect and transparently report on important elements such as cutting wheel integrity, hydraulic efficiency, and documented engine hours.
We carry out all necessary servicing and tooth replacements before we fix the price on the shop floor.
Purchasing preowned equipment is a very practical approach for arborists adding a second grinder, teams requiring a backup machine for peak periods, or new enterprises seeking capable kit without the capital expense of brand new machinery.
When buying a stump grinder in Drymen makes more sense than hiring
Buying your equipment becomes the sensible commercial step when you grind consistently, hire for additional weeks annually than finance instalments cost, or want a grinder on standby at short notice.
Owning equipment remains crucial for workforce continuity, as personnel build improved speed and safety through daily contact with a single asset, yielding measurable seasonal efficiency gains from using that dedicated grinder throughout the year.
Stump grinder hire in Drymen
We provide FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, helping you pick the precise machine for your project needs rather than utilising unsuitable equipment. Each unit undergoes careful workshop preparations before dispatch, which includes fitting sharp carbide teeth, verifying hydraulic fluid levels, and thoroughly running the engine to deliver optimal performance.
You will not receive an exhausted hire yard machine depleted by several monthly agreements, complete with damaged cutters and a slipping belt.
Our stump grinder hire Drymen fleet
For walk-behind jobs, our FSI walk behind grinders deliver the perfect solution for private gardens, narrow side entrances, and smaller commercial tasks where a tracked unit is unnecessary. Such machines move through standard garden gates and tread softly to protect your lawn, easily conquering stumps between 18 and 24 inches wide depending on the species.
When dealing with substantial works, we deploy tracked self propelled FSI grinders featuring radio remote technology to keep operators securely distanced from the active cutting wheel. These tracked machines are the preferred choice for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and any site requiring intensive daily stump clearing. Crucially, rugged tracks easily conquer steep slopes and soft terrain that would quickly topple a standard pedestrian unit.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Hiring caters to businesses whose stump grinding volume still cannot justify an outright purchase, contractors undertaking a one-off clearance beyond their standard scope, and operators wishing to avoid committing capital in machinery that is only used around a few weeks per year.
Renting suits users of a pedestrian unit who only occasionally require a tracked grinder. Hiring the larger machine for several days costs less than buying equipment that will lie idle for the majority of the season.
Selecting a dedicated specialist ensures you obtain the exact grinder necessary for your project, rather than simply accepting whatever is left at a standard hire depot. Obtain a stump grinder from a chain that handles pressure washers and floor sanders, and the machine is given only the elementary care afforded to a cement mixer.

What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Pedestrian grinders are operator-guided machines guided by an operator at the rear. Their small, compact nature is particularly suited to gardens and confined domestic environments.
Using hydraulically propelled tracks, tracked grinders run robust engines and oversized cutting wheels to conquer hardwood stumps and massive contracts! Meanwhile, smaller pedestrian machines fit through narrower spaces and cost less overall per day.
The tracked machines work with rapid efficiency, digging lower underground to master the largest hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depth capacities vary by type. Pedestrian FSI grinders dig several inches below ground level, preventing regrowth and leaving a flat surface ready for new grass.
Our heavy-duty tracked machinery penetrates far deeper, ideal for areas intended to be replanted, slabbed, or built over. Let us know your plans for the reclaimed landscape, and we shall suggest the precise cutting depth needed to realise your tomorrow.
