Stump Grinders for Sale in Dunbar
Whenever stump grinding provides your regular income, purchasing a machine cuts out continued rental costs and ensures it is in your yard ready for action. We provide new FSI stump grinders across the complete pedestrian and self propelled range. We also keep used machines from FSI and additional major brands as they arrive through trade.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Four separate variants make up the FSI pedestrian lineage, ranging up in performance and volume from the lightest to the absolute biggest.
Created as the smallest available model, the B21 serves occasional users, garden maintenance professionals, and operators needing sporadic grinding alongside tree care. To move up, the B22 and B28 models deliver increased engine power and heavier frames.
These units provide faster grinding with marginally more intense cutters, and which perfectly suits professionals operating the machinery a number of times per month rather than fortnightly.
As the premier pedestrian option in this range, the B38 is suited to operators undertaking frequent grinding who demand superior cutting power from a walk-behind machine capable of competing with light tracked equipment in the relevant conditions.
Tree surgery firms acquiring their first stump grinder find the B22 or B28 provides an ideal mix of performance and value. The B38 suits operators managing weekly grinding projects who want a pedestrian machine designed to deliver sufficient capacity until the contract is concluded.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
The self propelled range from FSI includes the D30, D60, and D74, with track and remote control options available for the D30. As the smallest-sized model, this multi-purpose grinder serves as the natural next stage for contractors upgrading from pedestrian machinery.
Add specialised tracks to handle steep inclines and unstable terrain, or select the radio remote configuration when operator positioning governs your day-to-day projects.
Initially, moving up to the D60 brings in a heavier, hardier machine designed for commercial scales and substantial stumps. Then, the D74 stands as the premier model in this collection, made for productive contractors, local councils, and specialists tackling tough hardwood and wide diameter timber.

When buying a stump grinder in Dunbar makes more sense than hiring
Buying becomes the smarter financial decision if you use a grinder regularly, hire for longer periods annually than finance payments cost, or need to have a grinder straight away available.
Possessing equipment remains crucial for workforce continuity, as personnel cultivate improved efficiency and safety through daily contact with a single asset, producing measurable seasonal efficiency gains from utilising that dedicated grinder throughout the year.
Stump grinder hire in Dunbar
We offer FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders within our hire range, enabling you to select the exact machinery necessary for your specific task rather than compromising with unsuitable equipment. Before dispatch, each grinder undergoes thorough servicing, during which we attach sharp carbide teeth, inspect hydraulic levels, and test the engine.
You will not receive a fatigued rental machine that has already completed multiple demanding contracts this month with dull cutters and a sliding belt.
Our stump grinder hire Dunbar fleet
Our walk-behind range features FSI walk behind grinders tailored for domestic gardens, restricted residential access, and less demanding commercial tasks where tracked machinery is unnecessary. These agile units effortlessly traverse ordinary garden gates, protect lawns from turf rutting, and easily tackle stumps up to 18 to 24 inches in diameter, depending on the species.
For more commissions, we supply tracked self propelled FSI grinders, incorporating radio remote configurations that enable operators to remain safely 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 high volume daily stump clearance. What is more, tracks skilfully negotiate steep inclines, soft ground, and undulating terrain that would quickly destabilise a pedestrian alternative.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
It suits contractors to hire operators whose low stump-grinding workload cannot justify purchase costs, contractors handling major one-off clearances, and teams hesitant to invest capital in machinery used only for a few weeks annually.
For users of a smaller pedestrian unit, hiring is an ideal option when obtaining occasional jobs that require a tracked grinder. Choosing a short rental for this bigger equipment is far more economical than purchasing machinery that otherwise sits idle.
Relying on a specialist specialist means you secure the ideal grinder for the job, rather than whatever remains on a general hire shelf. It is a vital distinction. Getting a stump grinder from an outlet dealing with pressure washers and floor sanders means your essential kit only gets the basic care given to a muddy cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Dunbar FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Dunbar?
Equipment size and rental duration set hire tariffs. Standard hire chains supplying compact 13hp petrol units represent the lowest market tier.
Expert pedestrian FSI grinders carry greater daily rates but clear stumps much faster. As they cut precious site time, they provide a lower cost per stump.
Tracked machines command the highest daily rate but offer the greatest cutting volume. Phone 0141 775 9288 with your project specifications for an precise quote.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Operated on foot, pedestrian grinders require manual pushing and steering. These light, sleek machines are perfect for domestic gardens and confined housing spaces.
Powered by hydraulic tracks, massive tracked grinders command high-capacity engines and larger cutting wheels, quickly conquering tough hardwood stumps and demanding high volume contracts. In contrast, nimble pedestrian machines access restricted spaces at a lower daily rate.
The tracked machines work with swift 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 reach several inches beneath the turf to fully halt regeneration. This keeps the earth smoothly level. Soon, fresh grass will eagerly reclaim the space.
Are you planning to plant again, pave or develop over the cleared spot? Our bigger tracked machines go much further! Just let us what is going there next and we will advise the most suitable cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Dunbar?
Whenever second-hand FSI and alternative brand machines are received as part exchange deals or trade-in deals, we carefully inspect them in our workshop facility, carry out all necessary servicing, and provide an accurate condition report.
