Stump Grinders for Sale in Moffat
When grinding forms a steady part of your livelihood, purchasing a grinder first does away with perpetual rent and moreover ensures the machine is prepared in your yard for any scheduled work. We direct you to 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)
The FSI pedestrian range features four different models, which steadily rise in both power and capacity from the most compact to the most substantial.
As the most compact option, the B21 works well for occasional users, garden maintenance teams, and operators requiring a grinder for intermittent tasks alongside general tree work, whilst the B22 and B28 offer increased engine output and weight.
These units offer faster grinding and use a little more forceful cutters, which perfectly suits professionals operating the machinery several days each month instead of twice monthly.
As the premier pedestrian option in this range, the B38 serves operators carrying out frequent grinding who need enhanced cutting power from a walk behind machine capable of matching lighter tracked equipment under the relevant conditions.
Tree surgery firms acquiring their first stump grinder find the B22 or B28 provides an excellent balance of efficiency and cost. The B38 fits operators carrying out weekly grinding projects who require a pedestrian machine guaranteed to deliver sufficient capacity until the contract is complete.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
The self propelled range from FSI includes the D30, D60, and D74, with tracked and remote-control options available for the D30. As the smallest model, this adaptable grinder serves as the ideal next step for contractors upgrading from walk-behind machinery.
You can select tracks for steep inclines and soft terrain, or select the radio remote configuration if operator positioning is important during your typical projects.
Set to boost your results? The D60 introduces a more substantial, stronger grinder built for industrial volume and large stumps! Meanwhile, the flagship D74 is made for high output contractors, councils, and operators tackling serious hardwood and wide cuts.
We will take you through the differences in cutting wheel size, engine power, and overall weight to help ensure you do never buy more than you need or less than you need.
Used stump grinders in Moffat
We supply well-maintained used stump grinders from FSI and various manufacturers as stock comes in. 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 device require replacement teeth or specialist servicing prior to acquisition, this restorative work is routinely carried out before setting the final showroom valuation.
Investing in used equipment is a logical decision for tree surgeons who need to add an additional grinder, teams requiring 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 Moffat makes more sense than hiring
Putting money in your own grinder is perfect financial sense once the daily workload increases. Indeed, when cumulative hire fees outpace finance payments, or sudden project demands require a grinder at very short notice, ownership supports your future.
Equipment ownership offers important reliability for work crews. Regular experience with a specific machine boosts operator security and efficiency. Running the same grinder over the year delivers obvious productivity gains across the season.
Stump grinder hire in Moffat
We supply FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, allowing you to choose the precise machine for your project requirements rather than using unsuitable equipment. Each unit undergoes meticulous workshop preparations before dispatch, which entails fitting sharp carbide teeth, verifying hydraulic fluid levels, and properly running the engine to guarantee optimal performance.
You will not receive a worn rental machine that has already finished multiple demanding contracts this month with worn cutters and a slipping belt.
Our stump grinder hire Moffat fleet
For pedestrian jobs, our FSI walk behind grinders deliver the perfect solution for domestic gardens, narrow access points, and compact commercial tasks where a tracked unit feels unnecessary. These machines travel through ordinary garden gates and travel lightly to preserve your lawn, effortlessly conquering stumps between 18 and 24 inches wide depending on the species.
When confronting substantial works, we deploy tracked self propelled FSI grinders featuring radio remote technology to leave operators comfortably 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 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 is suitable for contractors with too little stump grinding volume to make buying worthwhile, teams carrying out a rare clearance project far exceeding their usual capacity, and teams wishing to avoid locking away capital in machinery used only for a few weeks annually.
In the end, leasing advantages those managing smaller walk-behind units when they periodically take on projects needing a tracked grinder. Getting larger kit for only a few days is very cost-effective, spareing them from purchasing a machine destined to sit uselessly throughout the season.
Selecting a specialist ensures you receive the precise grinder for the job, rather than what is left at a generic depot. Rent a stump grinder from chains stocking pressure washers and floor sanders, and your equipment receives the same standard maintenance as their cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Moffat FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Moffat?
Rental costs change with the physical scale of your machinery and the project duration. As expected, major suppliers supplying modest 13hp petrol options form the lowest pricing tier.
While dedicated pedestrian FSI grinders command a higher daily rental rate, their superior operating speed provides swift clearance, ultimately lowering the total expenditure per stump once time on site is calculated.
While self-propelled machines require the greatest daily rate, they yield the largest 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?
Hand-steered, pedestrian grinders are operated on foot. These slim, low-weight machines skillfully conquer limited domestic spaces and domestic gardens.
Powered by hydraulic tracks, massive tracked grinders feature stronger engines and larger cutting wheels, efficiently conquering tough hardwood stumps and demanding high volume contracts. Meanwhile, nimble pedestrian machines enter restricted spaces at a more affordable daily rate.
With crawling machines, you can operate faster, go deeper underground, and deal with bigger hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depth capacities vary by type. Pedestrian FSI grinders excavate a few inches below surface level, preventing regrowth and creating a flat surface ready for new grass.
For works that involve re-planting, slabbing, or construction over the old stump, our robust tracked equipment excavates much deeper. Initially, describe your future ground plans to our team. Following this, we will gladly recommend you on the ideal machine for your required depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Moffat?
Whenever second-hand FSI and different brand machines come in as part-exchanges or trade-in deals, we fully inspect them in our workshop facility, carry out all necessary servicing, and provide an accurate condition report.
Our carefully chosen inventory varies with every new week. If you’d like to request a specific model, we will pleasedly note your name for a individual arrival update.
What other brands of stump grinder do you service?
At our Moffat workshop, we carefully maintain and restore FSI, Predator, Carlton, Vermeer, and Bandits stump grinders. Ongoing maintenance, emergency support, cutting wheel refurbishment, and parts sourcing are on offer, regardless of where your machinery was first purchased.
