Stump Grinders for Sale in Heathfield
When grinding makes up a consistent part of your livelihood, acquiring a grinder first removes perpetual rent and moreover makes sure the machine is set 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 supply pre-owned machines from FSI and other premium brands as they enter our stock.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Four separate models characterise the FSI pedestrian lineage, moving upwards in output and capacity from the lightest to the very largest.
Created to be the most compact option, the B21 suits occasional-use operators, garden maintenance contractors, and professionals requiring a grinder for sporadic tasks alongside broader arboricultural duties. In turn, the B22 and B28 deliver increased engine power and overall weight.
These units provide faster grinding with somewhat more aggressive cutters, which very well suits well specialists operating the machinery several times per month rather than fortnightly.
As the biggest pedestrian option you can choose, the B38 is built for operators who grind on a regular basis, requiring superior cutting capabilities and a walk behind unit that competently rivals compact tracked machinery under the right conditions.
Are you looking to add a new dedicated stump grinder to your tree surgery business? Selecting a B22 or B28 perfectly balances capability with price! For those grinding weekly, the B38 is the perfect pedestrian machine. It means you never run out of capacity halfway through a challenging contract!
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
FSI supplies a self propelled range including the D30, D60 and D74, with optional tracked or remote control configurations on the D30. As the smallest self propelled grinder, the D30 offers an excellent, flexible transition for professionals upgrading from pedestrian machinery.
Equip tracks to handle soft terrain and gradients, or choose the radio remote system if operator placement is important on your usual projects.
Ascending to the D60 brings a weightier, considerably more powerful grinder designed to tackle extensive commercial workloads and sizeable stumps. Afterwards reigns the D74, our top flagship designed for highly productive contractors, councils, and operators confronting formidable hardwood and big diameter cuts.
Our experts will lead you by way of the key points of cutting wheel size, engine performance, and weight. Precision is essential. Avoid getting more than you need or insufficient amounts.
Used stump grinders in Heathfield
Do you want a reliable used stump grinder? We supply great stock from FSI and other brands! Every machine is thoroughly workshop tested, providing you with completely honest reports on the cutting wheel condition, the hydraulics, and hours with engine.

When buying a stump grinder in Heathfield makes more sense than hiring
Buying your equipment becomes the sensible commercial step when you grind continuously, book for extra weeks annually than finance instalments cost, or need a grinder on standby at short notice.
Owning equipment offers essential reliability for work crews. Regular experience with a specific machine increases operator protection and efficiency. Running the same grinder over the year brings obvious productivity gains across the season.
Stump grinder hire in Heathfield
Discovering the ideal match matters, which is why our hire fleet of FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders is tailored to your exact task rather than making an unsuitable machine to battle. We deliver peak performance. Before every hire, our workshop team carefully services each machine, installing sharp carbide teeth, checking hydraulic levels, and starting the engine.
You will not receive an exhausted hire yard machine used up by repeated monthly hires, complete with worn cutters and a sliding belt.
Our stump grinder hire Heathfield fleet
For walk-behind operations, we supply FSI walk behind grinders well suited to residential gardens, side access routes, and lighter commercial tasks where larger machinery remains unnecessary. These versatile units move through standard garden gates effortlessly, travel over turf without leaving ruts, and comfortably clear stumps spanning 18 to 24 inches in diameter, depending on the species.
To tackle larger projects, we supply tracked self propelled FSI grinders, including radio controlled systems which keep the operator remains securely clear of the cutting wheel during operation. This kind of tracked machinery is the best solution for new housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and any site where you must lift out numerous stumps daily. These tracks safely navigate banks, soft ground, and rough terrain that would easily overturn a standard pedestrian model.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Hiring ideally serves operators whose stump grinding volume cannot currently justify a purchase, contractors carrying out a special clearance far outside their usual scale, and crews refusing to lock up valuable capital in equipment used only a few weeks annually.
For operators of smaller pedestrian equipment who sometimes secure contracts that require a tracked grinder, renting this larger equipment for a few days is considerably more economical than buying equipment that would remain largely underused throughout the working season.
Selecting a specialist ensures you secure the right grinder for your particular task, rather than just accepting whatever is available at a general depot. Buying a stump grinder from a chain dealing with pressure washers and floor sanders means the equipment receives the same basic care as a cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Heathfield FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Heathfield?
Rental costs vary according to the equipment size and your needed duration. Standard hire firms offering small 13hp petrol models generally provide the lowest-cost entry point.
While dedicated pedestrian FSI grinders carry a higher daily rental rate, their faster operating speed provides quick clearance, ultimately lowering the total expenditure per stump once time on site is calculated.

What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Operated on foot through manual steering, pedestrian grinders offer a light and easy-to-handle and small design that is perfectly optimised for domestic gardens and highly restricted residential spaces.
Propelled by hydraulic tracks, tracked grinders utilise higher-performance engines and larger cutting wheels to manage hardwood stumps on large-volume contracts, whilst pedestrian machines access restricted areas at a reduced daily cost.
With tracked machines, you can operate more quickly, penetrate further underground, and deal with larger hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depending upon the preferred model, pedestrian FSI grinders typically reach several inches beneath the surface, successfully preventing any regrowth whilst leaving the ground is left thoroughly level for grass establishment.
For works that involve re-planting, slabbing, or building over the old stump, our heavy-duty tracked equipment excavates far deeper. First, explain your future ground plans to our team. Following this, we will readily advise you on the ideal machine for your required depth.
