Stump Grinders for Sale in Kelso
If grinding shapes your daily livelihood, investing in your own machinery removes those repeated rental fees, giving you a loyal asset sitting in your yard for the next call. This offers genuine independence. We offer pristine FSI stump grinders spanning the full pedestrian and self-propelled portfolio, accompanied by good secondhand units from FSI and other premier marques entering our stock.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Looking for something different? The FSI pedestrian range provides 4 superb models, escalating in power and volume from the most compact to the biggest!
Made for intermittent duties, the space-saving B21 grinder assists garden contractors needing an occasional partner beside their daily tree care. It is especially agile. In addition, the robust B22 and B28 offer more engine power and mass.
Providing speedier grinding capabilities together with slightly more aggressive cutting edges, this machinery ideally accommodates professionals who operate their equipment multiple times monthly rather than on a fortnightly schedule.
Searching for the biggest pedestrian model in our range? Designed for dedicated crews craving serious cutting power, the mighty B38 is a walk behind unit that easily compares with light tracked machinery on the right jobs!
For tree care enterprises investing in their first dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 offers an excellent blend between output and expense. Alternatively the B38 presents a better choice for contractors executing weekly stump grinding who require a pedestrian machine built to maintain ample capacity throughout demanding commercial agreements.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
Looking for something beyond pedestrian gear? FSI’s versatile self propelled family spans the D30, D60, and D74, providing track and remote control options on the D30! This small grinder is the ideal versatile machine for forward-thinking contractors.
Incorporate tracks for travelling across yielding terrain and inclines, or choose the radio remote specification should operator placement be critical to your usual operations.
Prepared to improve your performance? The D60 introduces a more robust, stronger grinder built for industrial volume and substantial stumps! Meanwhile, the flagship D74 is designed for high-volume contractors, councils, and operators tackling serious hardwood and wide cuts.
We will walk you through the variations in cutting wheel size, engine output, and weight to make sure you do not buy too much or less than you need.
Used stump grinders in Kelso
We regularly acquire used stump grinders from well-regarded brands including FSI, ensuring every machine undergoes rigorous workshop testing before being offered for sale. Our specialists meticulously inspect and transparently report on crucial elements such as cutting wheel integrity, hydraulic efficiency, and documented engine hours.
We complete all required servicing and tooth replacements before we set the price on the shop floor.
Putting money in second-hand equipment is a logical move for tree surgeons looking to add an additional grinder, teams that need backup machinery during peak periods, or new businesses needing capable kit without the steep cost of a brand new purchase.
When buying a stump grinder in Kelso makes more sense than hiring
Investing represents the more economical economic path when your grinding is consistent, annual hiring weeks are greater than the cost equivalent of a finance payment, or operations need having a grinder available at short notice.
Focused ownership supports teams that need reliability. To begin with, staff become quicker and more confident by working with familiar machinery day to day. Consequently, the output benefits of operating the same grinder throughout the year will lift your seasonal figures.
Stump grinder hire in Kelso

Our stump grinder hire Kelso fleet
For pedestrian operations, we supply FSI walk behind grinders perfectly suited to domestic gardens, side access routes, and lighter commercial tasks where tracked machinery remains unnecessary. These agile units navigate standard garden gates easily, travel over turf without leaving ruts, and readily clear stumps spanning 18 to 24 inches in diameter, depending on the species.
When dealing with substantial projects, we use tracked self propelled FSI grinders featuring radio remote technology to keep 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 easily conquer steep slopes and soft terrain that would readily topple a standard pedestrian unit.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Renting serves teams whose stump grinding volume does not yet justify an outright buy, firms undertaking a one-off clearance beyond their usual scope, and operators wishing to avoid tying up capital in machinery that is only used a few weeks annually.
For users of a smaller pedestrian unit, renting is an practical option when taking on occasional jobs that require a tracked grinder. Selecting a temporary rental for this larger equipment is far more economical than purchasing machinery that simply sits idle.
Selecting a specialist guarantees you receive the precise grinder for the job, rather than what is left at a general depot. Hire a stump grinder from chains stocking pressure washers and floor sanders, and your equipment receives the same routine maintenance as their cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Kelso FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Kelso?
Hire rates change according to both equipment dimensions and the lease duration, whilst well-known store chains offering compact 13hp petrol models generally represent the budget end of the market.
Even though premier pedestrian FSI grinders attract higher daily rates, their swift operation reduces onsite time, leaving the final cost for every individual stump much more economical.
Tracked machinery with self propulsion attracts the premier daily rate whilst providing the greatest volume of cutting. Please call 0141 775 9288 with your project specifications for an exact quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Hand-steered, pedestrian grinders are operated on foot. These slender, lightweight machines efficiently handle confined housing spaces and domestic gardens.
To begin, tracked grinders travel on hydraulic tracks, utilising higher-performance engines and larger cutting wheels for hardwood stumps and high volume contracts. Alternatively, pedestrian machines enter tighter spaces and deliver lower per-day running costs.
Tracked machinery offers speedier operation, more extensive subterranean excavation, and capacity for handling substantial hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depending upon the preferred model, pedestrian FSI grinders typically go several inches beneath the surface, successfully preventing any regrowth whilst making sure the ground is left completely level for grass establishment.
Bigger tracked machines achieve greater depth, important if you intend on replanting, slabbing, or building over the area. Set out your future ground plans. We will select the exact unit to deliver your required cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Kelso?
Whenever second-hand FSI and alternative brand machines are received as part exchange deals or trade-ins, we fully inspect them in our workshop premises, carry out all necessary servicing, and provide an accurate condition report.
Our selected inventory changes with each new week. If you would like to request a specific model, we will happily note your name for a individual arrival update.
What other brands of stump grinder do you service?
We fix and maintain FSI, Predator, Carlton, Vermeer, and Bandits stump grinders within our workshop. We provide planned servicing, fault repairs, cutting wheel rebuilds, and parts supply, irrespective of where you originally purchased the machinery.
