Stump Grinders for Sale in Gilmerton
When grinding makes up a consistent 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 offer pre-owned machines from FSI and other premium brands as they enter our stock.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Seeking something different? The FSI pedestrian range provides four superb models, increasing in output and volume from the smallest to the biggest!
Built as the most compact model, the B21 serves part-time users, garden maintenance professionals, and operators needing infrequent grinding alongside tree care. To progress further, the B22 and B28 models deliver increased engine power and heavier frames.
These devices deliver speedier grinding alongside marginally more aggressive cutters, and that perfectly suits well professionals operating the machinery several times per month as opposed to fortnightly.
As the supreme pedestrian model in the range, the B38 caters to tireless crews who demand superior cutting capability. Complete performance. For the right job, this walk behind unit readily rivals light tracked machines.
Arboricultural enterprises incorporating their initial specialist stump grinder often learn that the B22 or B28 delivers an effective balance between capability and investment. Otherwise, the B38 is a superior selection 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 driven range from FSI encompasses the D30, D60 and D74, with tracked or remote control versions available for the D30. This most compact model serves as a versatile versatile option for users moving from walk-behind machinery.
Want overcome soft ground and slopes? Just add tracks, or opt for the radio remote configuration for optimal operator positioning!
Moving up to the D60 brings a more substantial, considerably more powerful grinder crafted to tackle vast commercial workloads and large stumps. Afterwards reigns the D74, our ultimate flagship built for high-output contractors, councils, and operators confronting formidable hardwood and large-diameter cuts.
Our team will guide you by way of the important points of cutting wheel size, engine performance, and mass. Accuracy is essential. Avoid getting too much or not enough.

Stump grinder hire in Gilmerton
We provide FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, allowing you to choose the precise machine for your project requirements rather than employing unsuitable equipment.

Our stump grinder hire Gilmerton fleet
For pedestrian jobs, our FSI walk behind grinders offer the perfect solution for private gardens, narrow side entrances, and compact commercial tasks where a tracked unit is unnecessary. These nimble machines move through ordinary garden gates and travel lightly to guard your lawn, easily conquering stumps between 18 and 24 inches wide depending on the species.
To handle large-scale projects, we offer tracked, self propelled FSI grinders, including models featuring wireless remote controls that allow operators to keep a safe distance from the active cutting wheel. These tracked machines represent the ideal choice for housing developments, local authority roadside projects, golf course clearances, hardwood extractions, and high volume daily stump removal. Additionally, their tracks successfully navigate steep inclines, soft earth and challenging terrains that would easily destabilise standard pedestrian machinery.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
It suits contractors to hire those whose low stump-grinding workload does not justify purchase costs, contractors handling major one-off clearances, and teams reluctant to lock up capital in machinery used only a few weeks annually.
For users of a more compact pedestrian unit, renting is an practical option when obtaining occasional jobs that require a tracked grinder. Opting for a brief rental for this bigger equipment is much more economical than purchasing machinery that simply sits idle.
Choosing a specialist specialist ensures you secure the exact grinder required for your task, instead of simply taking whatever is left at a usual hire depot. Take a stump grinder from a chain handling pressure washers and floor sanders, and the machine is given only the elementary care afforded to a cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Gilmerton FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Gilmerton?
Hire charges depend on the equipment size and your required rental period. Standard hire firms offering small 13hp petrol models usually offer the cheapest entry point.
Although premier pedestrian FSI grinders carry steeper daily rates, their swift operation cuts onsite time, rendering the final cost for each individual stump much more economical.
Tracked machinery featuring self propulsion commands the top daily rate whilst delivering the greatest volume of cutting. Please call 0141 775 9288 with your project specifications for an precise quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Walk-behind grinders are manually controlled machines guided by an operator walking behind. Their small, compact nature is perfectly suited to garden areas and limited domestic environments.
Propelled by hydraulic tracks, massive tracked grinders command more powerful 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.
Act quickly! Tracked machines speed up jobs, reach deeper underground, and readily handle large hardwood stumps!
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
How far down can you go? That depends on your selection of machine! Pedestrian FSI grinders plunge a few inches underground to halt regrowth, creating a smoothly level plot ready for fresh grass to thrive.
Are you considering to replant, cover or build over the cleared spot? Our more substantial tracked machines can reach much further! Just let us what is going there next and we will advise the ideal cutting depth.
