Stump Grinders for Sale in Plockton
When grinding represents a reliable source of revenue, purchasing a grinder cuts out recurring hire costs and means the machine is on your premises for immediate deployment. We offer new FSI stump grinders throughout the entire pedestrian and self propelled range, alongside used machines from FSI and other leading brands as they come into our inventory.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
The FSI pedestrian range features four different models, which steadily rise in power and capacity alike from the lowest to the biggest.
Designed as the smallest model, the B21 serves part-time users, garden maintenance professionals, and operators needing infrequent grinding alongside tree care. To move up, the B22 and B28 models offer increased engine power and heavier frames.
Looking for speedier grinding? Those machines run sharper cutters, which makes them an ideal choice for active operators using equipment a few days a month rather than fortnightly!
As the most substantial pedestrian option on offer, the B38 is engineered for operators who operate on a routine basis, needing enhanced cutting capabilities and a walk behind unit that effectively rivals compact tracked machinery under the appropriate conditions.
For arboricultural businesses purchasing their first dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 provides a strong balance of cost and capability. If you already handle 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)
FSI supplies a self propelled range comprising the D30, D60 and D74, with optional tracked or remote control configurations on the D30. As the most compact of the range self propelled grinder, the D30 delivers an impressive, flexible transition for professionals moving from pedestrian machinery.
Incorporate tracks for travelling across yielding terrain and inclines, or opt for the radio remote specification should operator placement be critical to your standard operations.
Choosing the D60 delivers a more substantial, higher-powered grinder engineered for business volumes and larger stumps. The flagship D74 is suited to high capacity contractors, councils, and specialists managing hard hardwood and extra large diameter cuts.
Do you want to avoid choosing the wrong model? We can guide you through each and every cutting wheel size, engine output, and weight to ensure the perfect match!
Used stump grinders in Plockton
We provide well-maintained used stump grinders from FSI and various manufacturers as stock comes in. First, each machine undergoes a thorough workshop inspection before sale, where we inspect and clearly report on the cutting wheel, hydraulic health, and engine hours.
Should a device need replacement teeth or professional servicing prior to acquisition, that restorative work is consistently completed before setting the final showroom valuation.
Putting money in used equipment is a sensible decision for tree surgeons adding an additional grinder, teams requiring backup machinery during peak periods, or new businesses needing reliable kit without the steep cost of a brand new purchase.
When buying a stump grinder in Plockton makes more sense than hiring
Putting money in your own grinder is perfect financial sense once the daily workload accelerates. Really, when cumulative hire fees surpass finance payments, or sudden project demands demand a grinder at a moment’s notice, ownership protects your future.
Committed leadership assists operators that require reliability. First, operators become quicker and more confident by working with familiar machinery daily. Therefore, the output benefits of operating the same grinder throughout the year will lift your seasonal figures.
Stump grinder hire in Plockton
Discovering the perfect match counts, which is why our hire fleet of FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders is suited to your exact task rather than forcing an unsuitable machine to battle. We deliver peak performance. Prior to every hire, our workshop team thoroughly services each machine, adding sharp carbide teeth, confirming hydraulic levels, and starting the engine.
You certainly wouldn’t pick up an overused hire yard model that has completed six jobs this month with unsharp cutters and a failing belt!
Our stump grinder hire Plockton fleet
For walk-behind jobs, our FSI walk behind grinders deliver the ideal solution for domestic gardens, narrow side entrances, and smaller commercial jobs where a tracked unit is unnecessary. Such machines glide through standard garden gates and tread softly to guard your lawn, smoothly removing 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 safely distanced from the active cutting wheel. These tracked machines are the ultimate choice for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and any site requiring detailed daily stump clearing. Crucially, rugged tracks smoothly conquer steep slopes and soft terrain that would quickly topple a standard pedestrian unit.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Leasing is ideal for operators with too little stump grinding volume to make buying worthwhile, contractors handling a unusual clearance project far exceeding their normal capacity, and teams wishing to steer clear of tying up capital in machinery used only for a few weeks annually.
Basically, leasing benefits those managing more modest walk-behind units when they periodically secure projects requiring a tracked grinder. Securing larger kit for mere days is very cost-effective, spareing them from purchasing a machine likely to sit idle for the whole season.
Choosing a focused specialist ensures you get the exact grinder necessary for your job, instead of simply settling for whatever is left at a standard hire depot. Take a stump grinder from a chain dealing with pressure washers and floor sanders, and the machine gets only the minimal care afforded to a cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Plockton FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Plockton?
Hire prices are influenced by the equipment size and your needed duration. Typical hire firms offering small 13hp petrol models often provide the cheapest starting point.
Professional pedestrian FSI grinders carry increased daily rates but clear stumps much faster. Because they cut important site time, they provide a reduced cost per stump.
While self-propelled machines require the top daily rate, they deliver the highest cutting volume. Just ring 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an precise quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Operated on foot through hand steering, pedestrian grinders offer a light and easy-to-handle and small design that is well optimised for domestic gardens and extremely confined residential spaces.
Using hydraulically driven tracks, tracked grinders run mighty engines and giant cutting wheels to tackle hardwood stumps and massive contracts! Meanwhile, smaller pedestrian machines pass through narrower spaces and cost less per day.
Move fast! Tracked equipment speed up the pace of jobs, penetrate deeper underground, and effortlessly handle large hardwood stumps!
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Whilst cutting depth varies by specific model, pedestrian FSI grinders generally cut down a number of inches beneath the top layer, avoiding regrowth and ensuring a even area for future grass establishment.
Are you planning to resow, pave or construct over the cleared spot? Our more substantial tracked machines go much lower! Just inform us what is going there next and we will recommend the best cutting depth.
