Stump Grinders for Sale in Elgol
Why continue wasting funds on endless hire fees when grinding is your livelihood? Having your own gear means it is permanently in your place, ready to go! We supply the complete range of new FSI stump grinders, with both pedestrian and self propelled options, plus used FSI and alternative leading brands as they arrive.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Searching for something different? The FSI pedestrian range provides four impressive models, escalating in power and volume from the most compact to the biggest!
Made for sporadic jobs, the small B21 grinder serves contractors needing an occasional partner in addition to their daily tree care. It is very manoeuvrable. In addition, the sturdy B22 and B28 deliver increased engine power and mass.
These machines grind more quickly and use more aggressive cutters. The setup suits experts operating equipment a few days each month rather than fortnightly.
The B-38 is the largest pedestrian model in the range, built for operators who work daily, want greater cutting power, and want a walk behind unit that matches light tracked units on relevant projects.
For tree surgery businesses acquiring their first dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 provides a superb balance of price and capability. If you already tackle 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)
Throughout FSI’s self-propelled family, the D30, D60, and D74 stand out, providing track and remote-control choices on the D30. This compact gem is the most compact of the self-propelled grinders. Certainly, it is a great all-rounder for contractors ready to outgrow ordinary gear.
Use crawler tracks to traverse unstable terrain and inclines, or choose the radio remote configuration if operator placement is essential during your standard projects.
Climbing to the D60 introduces a weightier, much stronger grinder designed to handle extensive commercial workloads and substantial stumps. Afterwards reigns the D74, our top flagship built for highly productive contractors, councils, and operators confronting formidable hardwood and big diameter cuts.
We describe the distinctions in cutting wheel size, engine output and overall weight to ensure you do never purchase more than necessary or too little.
Used stump grinders in Elgol
We regularly procure used stump grinders from FSI and additional leading brands. Before retail, our technicians thoroughly inspect every machine, making sure that the state of the cutting wheel, hydraulic system performance, and cumulative engine hours are clearly verified and recorded.
Should a machine require new teeth or servicing, that work is always completed before any price is officially set upon the showroom floor.
Purchasing preowned equipment is a particularly practical strategy for arborists adding a second grinder, teams requiring a backup machine for peak periods, or new enterprises securing capable kit without the capital expense of brand new machinery.
When buying a stump grinder in Elgol makes more sense than hiring
Acquiring your equipment becomes the logical economic step when you grind regularly, hire for additional weeks annually than finance repayments cost, or want a grinder on standby at little notice.
Having equipment remains vital for workforce continuity, as personnel build improved pace and safety through daily contact with a single asset, delivering measurable seasonal efficiency gains from making use of that dedicated grinder throughout the year.
Stump grinder hire in Elgol
We supply FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, enabling you to select the precise machine for your project requirements rather than using unsuitable equipment. Every unit undergoes careful workshop preparations before dispatch, which entails fitting sharp carbide teeth, verifying hydraulic fluid levels, and thoroughly running the engine to ensure optimal performance.
You are not receiving delivery of a fatigued rental asset run on multiple jobs with used cutters and a slipping belt.
Our stump grinder hire Elgol fleet
For walk-behind operations, we provide FSI walk behind grinders perfectly suited to household gardens, side access routes, and smaller commercial tasks where tracked machinery remains unnecessary. These agile units move through standard garden gates effortlessly, travel over turf without leaving ruts, and readily clear stumps spanning 18 to 24 inches in diameter, depending on the species.
We provide tracked self propelled FSI grinders for substantial projects, featuring radio remote configurations that leave operators safely clear of the cutting wheel. Tracked units are the correct choice for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and sites requiring multiple stump removals daily. Tracks also master steep slopes, soft ground, and unstable terrain that would quickly overturn a pedestrian unit.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Leasing is ideal for three specific groups, including operators with low stump grinding workloads, contractors overseeing a major one-off clearance, and crews who prefer not to tie up capital in equipment they only need for a few weeks each year.
Ultimately, renting helps operators running smaller pedestrian units when they periodically win projects needing a tracked grinder. Securing heavier kit for only short periods is exceptionally cost-effective, spareing them from purchasing a machine set to stay unused for the whole season.
Choosing a focused specialist ensures you secure the exact grinder needed for your project, instead of simply taking whatever is left at a usual hire depot. Hire a stump grinder from a chain that handles pressure washers and floor sanders, and the machine gets only the basic care afforded to a cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Elgol FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Elgol?
Rental costs vary with the physical scale of your machinery and the project length. As expected, major suppliers supplying compact 13hp petrol options represent the most affordable pricing tier.
Can you really make savings by spending extra? Professional pedestrian FSI grinders have greater per-day charges but remove stumps at such speed that the cost for each stump actually plummets!
While crawler machines command a higher daily rate, they deliver unrivalled cutting volume. This is genuine efficiency. Call 0141 775 9288 with your project details 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 lightweight, slim machines are well suited for private gardens and limited residential areas.
Tracked grinders use hydraulic tracks to drive themselves, using larger engines and larger cutting wheels to clear hardwood stumps on high-volume contracts. Walk-behind machines reach tight spaces and cost less daily.
With crawling machines, you can work faster, go deeper underground, and tackle larger hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depth capacities vary by type. Pedestrian FSI grinders excavate several inches below ground level, preventing regrowth and producing a flat surface ready for new grass.
Are you planning to resow, cover or construct over the cleared spot? Our bigger tracked machines can reach much further! Just tell us what is going there next and we will advise the most suitable cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Elgol?
When pre-owned FSI and other brand machines arrive as trade-ins, our technicians meticulously inspect and prepare each unit, offering them with a fully clear condition report.
As our stock varies on a regular basis, express your details with us to help ensure you be sent immediate notification when your selected model arrives.
What other brands of stump grinder do you service?
Regardless of where your machine was bought, we expertly service and repair FSI, Predator, Carlton, Vermeer, and Bandits stump grinders. Our dedicated workshop offers scheduled servicing, fault repairs, cutting wheel rebuilds, and parts supply.
