Stump Grinders for Sale in Pilton
When stump grinding generates your main income, acquiring a machine eliminates ongoing rental costs and means it is in your yard ready for action. We provide new FSI stump grinders across the complete pedestrian and self propelled range. We also have used machines from FSI and additional major brands as they arrive through trade.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Comprising four distinct variants, the FSI pedestrian portfolio ranges in both output and size from the most compact model to the largest one.
The compact-sized B21 caters for occasional users, garden maintenance contractors, and users needing a second grinder alongside main tree work. The B22 and B28 models offer greater engine output and build.
Such machines operate more quickly and employ more aggressive cutters. The setup suits experts operating equipment several days a month rather than fortnightly.
The B38 is the most sizeable pedestrian model in the range, built for operators who work daily, need superior cutting power, and want a walk behind unit that rivals lighter tracked machines on suitable projects.
Tree surgery firms acquiring their first stump grinder find the B22 or B28 provides an effective balance of capability and value. The B38 suits operators carrying out weekly grinding projects who want a pedestrian machine guaranteed to provide sufficient capacity until the contract is concluded.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
FSI drives their self propelled range with the D30, D60 and D74, supplying track and remote control options on the D30. As the most compact grinder, this model represents a excellent versatile option for contractors switching from pedestrian machinery.
Want conquer soft ground and slopes? Just add tracks, or choose the radio remote configuration for optimal operator positioning!
Upgrading to the D60 provides a more substantial and sturdier grinder built for commercial requirements and greater stump clearance. As the premier model in this series, the D74 supports high productivity contractors, local authorities, and specialists tackling dense hardwoods and wide diameter timber.
We describe the distinctions in cutting wheel size, engine output and overall weight to make sure you do not buy more than you need or less than you need.
Used stump grinders in Pilton
We occasionally welcome used stump grinders into our yard, featuring FSI alongside additional trusted brands. Every machine goes through rigorous workshop preparation before being sold. We inspect them carefully. Cutting wheel integrity, hydraulic health, and true engine hours are always transparently assessed and fairly reported.
Should a machine require new teeth or maintenance, that work is always carried out before any price is officially set upon the showroom floor.
Putting money in second-hand equipment is a practical move for tree surgeons who need to add an additional grinder, teams requiring backup machinery during peak periods, or new businesses needing adequate kit without the steep cost of a brand new purchase.
When buying a stump grinder in Pilton makes more sense than hiring
Buying your equipment becomes the sensible financial step when you grind regularly, hire for extra weeks annually than finance instalments cost, or want a grinder on standby at short notice.
Proprietorship remains essential for work groups needing consistency. Operators attain better speed and protection on habitually utilised machinery, meaning the output benefits of running the same grinder all year grow clearly visible in periodic performance data.
Stump grinder hire in Pilton
Discovering the right match is important, which is why our hire fleet of FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders is tailored to your specific task rather than making an unsuitable machine to struggle. We deliver peak performance. Before every hire, our workshop team thoroughly services each machine, fitting sharp carbide teeth, checking hydraulic levels, and running up the engine.
Be assured you are not receiving an overworked hire machine that has carried out multiple previous jobs with worn cutters and a slipping belt.
Our stump grinder hire Pilton fleet
For pedestrian jobs, our FSI walk behind grinders deliver the perfect solution for home gardens, tight side entrances, and smaller commercial jobs where a tracked unit feels unnecessary. These nimble machines glide through typical garden gates and move gently to protect your lawn, effortlessly clearing stumps between 18 and 24 inches wide depending on the species.
We rent tracked self propelled FSI grinders for major projects, offering radio remote configurations that keep operators safely clear of the cutting wheel. Tracked units are the ideal choice for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and sites requiring repeated stump removals daily. Tracks also handle steep slopes, soft ground, and unstable terrain that would quickly overturn a pedestrian unit.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Hiring is ideal for operators with too little stump grinding volume to warrant buying, contractors handling a unusual clearance project well beyond their usual capacity, and operators wishing to avoid committing capital in machinery used only for a few weeks annually.
Do you have a smaller pedestrian unit but sometimes pick up jobs needing a tracked grinder? Renting is the ideal solution! Hiring the larger kit for just a few days costs way less than buying a machine that sits idle all season.
Selecting a specialist ensures you obtain the right grinder for your particular task, rather than just accepting whatever is available at a general depot. Hiring 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.

What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Walk-behind grinders are manually controlled machines guided by an operator at the rear. Their small, compact nature is perfectly suited to gardens and restricted domestic environments.
To begin, tracked grinders propel themselves on hydraulic tracks, utilising superior engines and bigger cutting wheels for hard-wood stumps and high volume contracts. In contrast, pedestrian machines reach tighter areas and deliver lower day-to-day running costs.
Tracked machinery delivers faster operation, greater subterranean excavation, and the ability to handle substantial hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depth capacities vary by version. Pedestrian FSI grinders remove material several inches below surface level, preventing regrowth and producing a flat surface ready for new grass.
For projects that involve re-planting, slabbing, or building over the old stump, our substantial tracked equipment excavates far deeper. To begin with, describe your future ground plans to our team. Following this, we will gladly advise you on the ideal machine for your required depth.
