Stump Grinders for Sale in Fochabers
When grinding forms a steady part of your livelihood, buying a grinder first does away with perpetual rent and also makes sure 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 provide pre-owned machines from FSI and other premium brands as they enter our stock.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Four variants comprise the FSI pedestrian range, scaling up in output and size from the lightest to the largest.
After a small powerhouse? The B21 works well for occasional users, garden maintenance teams, and operators seeking a grinder for odd jobs alongside tree work! Need more muscle? The more powerful B22 and B28 seriously boost the engine output.
These devices deliver faster grinding together with somewhat more aggressive cutters, which ideally suits well operators operating the machinery multiple times per month rather than fortnightly.
The B-38 is the biggest pedestrian model in the range, built for operators who work daily, require greater cutting power, and need a walk behind unit that competes with light tracked machines on relevant projects.
For tree surgery businesses purchasing their first dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 provides a superb balance of cost and capability. If you already tackle weekly projects, the B38 pedestrian machine is the best choice to ensure you never run out of power during any contract.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
FSI equips their self propelled range with the D30, D60 and D74, supplying track and remote control options on the D30. As the smallest grinder, this model offers a superb versatile option for contractors moving from pedestrian machinery.
Looking to conquer soft ground and slopes? Simply add tracks, or opt for the radio remote configuration for perfect operator positioning!
Moving to the D60 provides a weightier and hardier grinder designed for commercial applications and substantial stump clearance. As the premier model in this series, the D74 caters to high productivity operators, local authorities, and specialists tackling dense hardwoods and wide diameter timber.
We shall walk you over the variances in cutting wheel size, engine output, and overall weight to help ensure your selection closely meets your operational requirements.
Used stump grinders in Fochabers
We regularly supply used stump grinders from FSI and additional leading brands. Before retail, our technicians carefully inspect every machine, so that the condition of the cutting wheel, hydraulic system performance, and cumulative engine hours are transparently verified and set out.
As a first step, any piece of equipment demanding servicing or replacement teeth undergoes this vital work before we establish its price on the site.
Selecting pre-owned machinery is a logical option for a number of reasons. It helps arborists to obtain an extra grinder, provides teams with essential backup capability during hectic periods, and lets new businesses to acquire dependable kit without high upfront costs.
When buying a stump grinder in Fochabers makes more sense than hiring
When does buying make total financial sense? It is when you are grinding all the time, renting for extra weeks than finance costs, or really needing a grinder ready at a moment’s notice!
Possessing equipment remains crucial for workforce continuity, as personnel cultivate greater speed and safety through daily contact with a single asset, yielding measurable seasonal efficiency gains from utilising that dedicated grinder throughout the year.

Our rental fleet offers FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, so that you choose the most suitable machine to the particular task. We thoroughly inspect every grinder between hires.

Our stump grinder hire Fochabers fleet
For walk-behind tasks, we offer FSI walk-behind grinders ideally suited for domestic gardens, domestic side access routes, and lighter commercial jobs where a tracked unit is unnecessary. These helpful machines readily pass through typical garden gates. They also glide gently over your lawn without causing turf damage, whilst reliably tackling stumps between 18 and 24 inches in diameter, depending on the relevant wood species.
When tackling substantial works, we hire tracked self propelled FSI grinders featuring radio remote technology to leave 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 thorough daily stump clearing. Crucially, rugged tracks smoothly conquer steep slopes and soft terrain that would easily topple a standard pedestrian unit.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Hiring is best for operators with limited stump grinding volume to warrant buying, operators handling a rare clearance project greatly exceeding their typical capacity, and businesses wishing to steer clear of tying up capital in machinery used only for a short period annually.
Do you own a smaller pedestrian unit but occasionally pick up jobs needing a tracked grinder? Hiring is the ideal solution! Getting the larger kit for just a few days costs way less than buying a machine that remains idle all season.
Selecting a specialist specialist ensures you get the exact grinder needed for your job, instead of simply settling for whatever is left at a usual hire depot. Take a stump grinder from a chain handling pressure washers and floor sanders, and the machine receives only the basic care afforded to a cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Fochabers FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Fochabers?
Hire charges are influenced by the equipment size and your desired hire period. Typical hire firms supplying small 13hp petrol models often provide the cheapest starting point.
Putting money into professional-grade pedestrian FSI grinders calls for a greater daily rate, yet they clear stumps with remarkable speed. Swift work. Allowing for saved site hours makes each clearance less costly.
While tracked machines require the highest daily rate, they deliver the greatest cutting volume. Simply call 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an accurate quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Users by hand push and steer pedestrian grinders. Such slim units excel in gardens and narrow residential spaces.
Using hydraulically driven tracks, tracked grinders run robust engines and giant cutting wheels to remove hardwood stumps and massive contracts! In contrast, compact pedestrian machines work in narrower spaces and cost less overall per day.
With crawling machines, you can operate more quickly, go further underground, and deal with bigger hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Whilst the cutting depth varies by individual model, pedestrian FSI grinders usually reach a number of inches under the top layer, avoiding regrowth and ensuring a level area for later grass establishment.
Larger tracked machines deliver greater depth, important if you are planning on replanting, slabbing, or building over the area. Set out your future ground plans. We will identify the exact unit to deliver your required cutting depth.
