Stump Grinders for Sale in Inverness
Why keep on wasting cash on repeated hire fees when the work is your trade? Owning your own gear means it is always in your yard, ready to go! We supply the complete range of new FSI stump grinders, including both pedestrian and self propelled options, plus used FSI and alternative leading brands as they arrive.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Comprising four distinct versions, the FSI pedestrian portfolio ranges in both power and capability from the smallest model to the biggest one.
Designed to be the most space-efficient option, the B21 is ideal for occasional-use operators, garden maintenance contractors, and professionals requiring a grinder for infrequent tasks together with broader arboricultural duties. In turn, the B22 and B28 deliver increased engine power and overall weight.
Looking for speedier grinding? Those machines use finer cutters, making them them a real dream for active operators using equipment a few days a month rather than every two weeks!
The B-38 is the largest pedestrian model in the range, built for teams who grind day after day, need greater cutting power, and want a walk behind unit that competes with light tracked machines on suitable projects.
For tree surgery businesses buying their first dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 provides a excellent balance of price and capability. If you already tackle weekly projects, the B38 pedestrian machine is the best choice to ensure you always run out of power during any contract.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
FSI supplies a self propelled range comprising the D30, D60 and D74, offering optional tracked or remote control configurations on the D30. As the smallest self propelled grinder, the D30 delivers an excellent, flexible transition for professionals moving from pedestrian machinery.
Equip tracks to master soft terrain and gradients, or opt for the radio remote system if operator placement is important on your typical projects.
Set to improve your productivity? The D60 features a more robust, stronger grinder built for industrial volume and large stumps! Meanwhile, the flagship D74 is made for demanding contractors, councils, and operators tackling heavy hardwood and wide cuts.
Our specialists will guide you through the important points of cutting wheel size, engine power, and overall weight. Accuracy is essential. Try not to buying more than you need or not enough.
Used stump grinders in Inverness
We regularly procure used stump grinders from FSI and various leading brands. Prior to retail, our technicians thoroughly inspect every machine, making sure that the state of the cutting wheel, hydraulic system performance, and cumulative engine hours are openly verified and recorded.
Does a piece of machinery require replacement teeth or a thorough service? We perform all the essential work before the price is ever set on the floor!
Selecting pre-owned machinery is a sensible step for several reasons. It allows arborists to secure an extra grinder, gives teams with important backup capability during busy periods, and allows new businesses to acquire dependable kit without expensive upfront costs.
When buying a stump grinder in Inverness makes more sense than hiring
Putting money in your grinder is clear financial sense once the daily workload increases. Truly, once cumulative hire fees outpace finance payments, or sudden project demands require a grinder at short notice, ownership secures your future.
Owning equipment delivers essential reliability for work crews. Everyday familiarity with a specific machine increases operator security and speed. Operating the same grinder throughout the year brings clear productivity gains across the season.
Stump grinder hire in Inverness
We provide FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders as part of our hire range, enabling you to select the exact machinery necessary for your specific task rather than settling with unsuitable equipment. Before dispatch, each grinder undergoes careful servicing, during which we attach sharp carbide teeth, inspect hydraulic levels, and test the engine.
You are not accepting delivery of a tired rental asset overworked on back-to-back jobs with worn cutters and a loose belt.
Our stump grinder hire Inverness fleet
For manual operations, we rent FSI walk-behind grinders ideal for residential gardens, narrow residential side access, and light commercial tasks where a tracked unit is unnecessary. These machines easily pass through standard garden gates, keep safe lawns from rutting due to their low weight, and tackle stumps from 18 to 24 inches in diameter depending on the species.
When tackling substantial works, we hire tracked self propelled FSI grinders featuring radio remote technology to ensure operators comfortably 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 effortlessly conquer steep slopes and soft terrain that would easily topple a standard pedestrian unit.
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 tackling substantial one-off clearances, and teams reluctant to lock up capital in machinery used only a few weeks annually.
For operators of smaller walk-behind units who periodically secure contracts that require a tracked grinder, hiring this larger machinery for several days is considerably more economical than buying equipment that would stay largely underutilised throughout the working season.
Choosing a specialist guarantees you get the precise grinder for the job, rather than whatever left at a generic depot. Hire a stump grinder from chains supplying pressure washers and floor sanders, and your equipment gets the same standard maintenance as their cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Inverness FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Inverness?
Rental tariffs fluctuate according to both equipment size and the lease duration, whilst major retail chains supplying compact 13hp petrol models generally represent the budget end of the market.
Although premier pedestrian FSI grinders command higher daily rates, their rapid operation cuts onsite time, making the final cost for every individual stump much more economical.
Although tracked self propelled machines command the highest daily price, they offer the greatest volume of cutting. Please get in touch with 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an exact quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Run on foot through hand steering, pedestrian grinders offer a lightweight and compact design that is well optimised for home gardens and very limited residential spaces.
To open, tracked grinders propel themselves on hydraulic tracks, employing more powerful engines and larger-diameter cutting wheels for hard-wood stumps and larger-volume contracts. In contrast, pedestrian machines reach tighter spaces and offer lower daily running costs.
Tracked machines work with rapid efficiency, working deeper underground to master the largest hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depth capacities vary by model. Pedestrian FSI grinders excavate a few inches below ground level, removing regrowth and producing a flat surface ready for new grass.
As substantial tracked equipment delivers superior excavation depth, it remains ideal for ground intended for replanting, slabbing, or construction. Once you outline your future plans for the area, we will readily recommend the optimal cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Inverness?
Whenever second-hand FSI and other machinery arrives through part exchange, our specialist workshop carefully inspects and services them, before we supply each one with a completely truthful state report.
Our stock varies each week. To receive an update when your preferred model is available, please leave your details and we will add you to our waiting list.
What other brands of stump grinder do you service?
We repair and look after FSI, Predator, Carlton, Vermeer, and Bandits stump grinders within our workshop. We provide regular servicing, breakdown repairs, wheel rebuilds, and parts supply, no matter where you originally purchased the machinery.
