Stump Grinders for Sale in Merchant City
When stump removal makes up a consistent pillar of your income, acquiring equipment eliminates recurring rental expenses whilst delivering immediate operational availability at your premises. We supply brand new FSI stump grinders across the full pedestrian and self propelled categories, alongside used machinery from FSI and other leading manufacturers as they become available.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Characterised by four separate models, the FSI pedestrian portfolio scales in output and capacity from the most compact to the biggest.
Created as the smallest model, the B21 serves sporadic users, garden maintenance professionals, and operators needing occasional grinding alongside tree care. To progress further, the B22 and B28 models offer increased engine power and heavier frames.
Operating with a speedier grind and more assertive cutters, they well suit the dedicated user who uses machinery a few days a month rather than fortnightly.
As the ultimate pedestrian model in the range, the B38 serves hard-working crews who require superior cutting capability. Sheer performance. For the appropriate job, this walk behind unit easily rivals light tracked machines.
For tree surgery businesses acquiring their first dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 provides a strong 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)
Within FSI’s self-propelled family, the D30, D60, and D74 stand out, offering track and remote-control options on the D30. That compact gem is the slimmest of the self-propelled grinders. In fact, it is a brilliant all-rounder for contractors ready to outgrow ordinary gear.
Equip tracks to master soft terrain and gradients, or select the radio remote system if operator placement is critical on most of your projects.
Set to improve your results? The D60 features a heavier, stronger grinder built for business volume and substantial stumps! Meanwhile, the flagship D74 is built for high output contractors, councils, and operators tackling serious hardwood and wide cuts.
We will guide you through the distinctions in cutting wheel size, engine output, and weight to ensure you do not buy more than you need or too little.
Used stump grinders in Merchant City
We provide reliable used stump grinders from FSI and other manufacturers as stock arrives. First, each machine undergoes a detailed workshop inspection before sale, where we check and accurately report on the cutting wheel, hydraulic condition, and engine hours.
Should a machine require new components or a service, that work is always finished before any price is officially set upon the showroom floor.
Selecting second hand machinery is a sensible option for various reasons. It helps arborists to secure an extra grinder, offers teams with vital backup capability during peak periods, and lets new businesses to purchase reliable kit without expensive upfront costs.
When buying a stump grinder in Merchant City makes more sense than hiring
Purchasing becomes a wiser financial decision if you use a grinder regularly, lease for more weeks annually than finance payments cost, or need to have a grinder instantly available.
Looking to boost team consistency? Taking ownership is key! When operators use the same grinder daily, they become more efficient and safer, creating substantial productivity gains that look really fantastic in your final seasonal figures!

Our stump grinder hire Merchant City fleet
Looking for pedestrian machinery? We provide high-quality FSI pedestrian grinders suitable for private gardens, domestic side paths, and light commercial tasks where a heavy tracked unit is plainly overkill! These agile beasts readily slide through standard gates, guard lawns from unwanted rutting, and comfortably clear stumps from 18 to 24 inches in diameter.
When dealing with substantial jobs, we use tracked self propelled FSI grinders featuring radio remote technology to keep operators safely distanced from the active cutting wheel. These tracked machines are the ideal choice for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and any site requiring detailed daily stump clearing. Crucially, rugged tracks effortlessly conquer steep slopes and soft terrain that would readily topple a standard pedestrian unit.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Leasing is best for contractors with limited stump grinding volume to warrant buying, teams handling a unusual clearance project far exceeding their normal capacity, and businesses wishing to avoid tying up capital in machinery used only for several weeks annually.
Leasing is ideal for owners of a smaller pedestrian unit who from time to time win contracts requiring a tracked grinder, as hiring larger machinery briefly is much more cost-effective than purchasing an asset that remains idle throughout much of the season.
Selecting a specialist ensures you secure the right grinder for your individual task, rather than just accepting whatever is on offer at a general depot. Hiring a stump grinder from a chain dealing with pressure washers and floor sanders means the equipment is given the same standard care as a cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Merchant City FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Merchant City?
Rental costs change with the physical scale of your machinery and the project timescale. As expected, major suppliers supplying modest 13hp petrol options represent the cheapest pricing tier.
Opting for professional grade pedestrian FSI grinders needs a larger daily investment, but they take out stumps significantly quicker, which eventually reduces your overall cost per stump by reducing valuable time on site.
While self-propelled machines carry the highest daily rate, they deliver the greatest cutting volume. Simply ring 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an accurate quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Run on foot, pedestrian grinders require manual effort and guidance. These light, sleek machines are well suited for private gardens and restricted residential spaces.
Driven by hydraulic tracks, tracked grinders employ higher-performance engines and larger-sized cutting wheels to tackle hardwood stumps on high volume contracts, whilst pedestrian machines reach restricted areas at a lower daily cost.
Tracked offers greater speed, delivers more effective subterranean penetration, and efficiently tackles significant hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depth capacities vary by version. Pedestrian FSI grinders excavate a few inches below the ground level, preventing regrowth and creating a flat surface ready for new grass.
Our robust tracked machinery goes much deeper, ideal for plots set to be replanted, slabbed, or built over. Tell us your vision for the reclaimed landscape, and we shall suggest the precise cutting depth needed to bring about your tomorrow.
