Stump Grinders for Sale in Portsoy
Why continue wasting money on endless hire fees when grinding is your livelihood? Having your own gear means it is always in your yard, on hand! We supply the full range of new FSI stump grinders, including both pedestrian and self propelled options, plus used FSI and alternative leading brands as they arrive.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
4 distinct versions define the FSI pedestrian lineage, scaling up in power and volume from the most compact to the absolute largest.
Built as the smallest model, the B21 serves part-time users, garden care contractors, and operators needing occasional grinding alongside tree care. To progress further, the B22 and B28 models provide increased engine power and heavier frames.
Offering faster grinding capabilities with somewhat more assertive cutting edges, this machinery perfectly accommodates professionals who use their equipment several times monthly rather than on a two weekly schedule.
As the leading pedestrian option within this range, the B38 caters to specialists carrying out regular grinding who require enhanced cutting power from a walk behind machine capable of matching lighter tracked equipment in the appropriate conditions.
Arboricultural enterprises incorporating their initial specialist stump grinder often learn that the B22 or B28 delivers an effective balance between output and spend. As an alternative, the B38 is a more suitable option for specialists undertaking weekly grinding assignments who require a pedestrian model with sufficient power to carry out extensive projects reliably.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
FSI supplies a self propelled range including the D30, D60 and D74, offering optional tracked or remote control configurations on the D30. As the most compact self propelled grinder, the D30 delivers an excellent, adaptable transition for professionals progressing from pedestrian machinery.
Looking to tackle soft ground and slopes? Simply add tracks, or opt for the radio remote configuration for perfect operator positioning!
Climbing to the D60 brings a weightier, far more potent grinder built to handle vast commercial workloads and large stumps. Afterwards reigns the D74, our flagship flagship designed for highly productive contractors, councils, and operators confronting challenging hardwood and large-diameter cuts.
Do you want to avoid choosing the incorrect model? We can lead you through each and every cutting wheel size, engine output, and weight to ensure the perfect match!
Used stump grinders in Portsoy
We supply quality used stump grinders from FSI and various manufacturers as stock is available. First, each machine undergoes a detailed workshop inspection before being sold, where we assess and accurately report on the cutting wheel, hydraulic health, and engine hours.
We complete all essential servicing and tooth replacements before we determine the price on the shop floor.
Buying used equipment is a highly sensible option for arborists seeking an further grinder, for teams requiring a contingency machine during peak periods, and for nascent enterprises wanting capable machinery without substantial capital outlay.
When buying a stump grinder in Portsoy makes more sense than hiring
Buying becomes the more sensible financial decision if you use a grinder regularly, hire for a greater number of weeks annually than finance payments cost, or need to have a grinder straight away available.
Owning equipment offers essential consistency for operating teams. Everyday acquaintance with a specific machine boosts operator security and pace. Running the same grinder over the year delivers obvious productivity gains across the season.

Our stump grinder hire Portsoy fleet
For walk-behind jobs, our FSI walk behind grinders provide the best solution for private gardens, narrow access points, and smaller commercial tasks where a tracked unit seems unnecessary. These nimble machines glide through standard garden gates and tread softly to preserve your lawn, smoothly conquering stumps between 18 and 24 inches wide depending on the species.
Are you currently tackling some massive projects? We hire high-quality tracked self propelled FSI grinders, featuring intuitive radio remote controls to keep operators entirely safe from the spinning cutting wheel! Those tracked units are absolutely perfect for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, or multiple stump jobs. Plus, those tracks effortlessly conquer steep slopes, soft ground, and rough terrain that would tip any pedestrian unit!
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Renting is suitable for operators with insufficient stump grinding volume to warrant buying, operators handling a one-off clearance project greatly exceeding their usual capacity, and teams wishing to prevent locking away capital in machinery used only for several weeks annually.
Renting is well suited for owners of a more compact pedestrian unit who sometimes win contracts requiring a tracked grinder, as renting larger machinery briefly is considerably cheaper than buying an asset that remains idle most of the season.
Choosing a dedicated specialist ensures you obtain the exact grinder required for your job, instead of simply accepting whatever is left at a generic 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 Portsoy FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Portsoy?
Rental costs vary with the physical scale of your machinery and the project length. Unsurprisingly, national chains supplying compact 13hp petrol options make up the lowest pricing tier.
Choosing professional grade pedestrian FSI grinders requires a premium daily rate, yet they remove stumps with remarkable speed. Quick work. Taking into account saved site hours renders each clearance cheaper.
While self-propelled machines carry the highest daily rate, they produce the highest cutting volume. Just phone 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an accurate quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Want effortless control? Pedestrian grinders are hand-operated walk behind machines you guide yourself. Being lighter and compact in design, they really handle well restricted residential garden jobs!
Using hydraulically driven tracks, tracked grinders run powerful engines and giant cutting wheels to conquer hardwood stumps and massive contracts! Meanwhile, compact pedestrian machines fit through narrower spaces and are cheaper per day.
The tracked machines operate with swift efficiency, cutting lower underground to tackle the largest hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depending upon the preferred model, pedestrian FSI grinders typically penetrate several inches beneath the surface, successfully preventing any regrowth whilst ensuring the ground is left perfectly level for grass establishment.
Are you considering to resow, slab or build over the cleared spot? Our larger tracked machines can reach much deeper! Just tell us what is going there next and we will advise the most suitable cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Portsoy?
Whenever second-hand FSI and different brand machines are received as part exchange deals or trade-ins, we carefully inspect them in our workshop facility, complete all necessary servicing, and issue an honest condition report.
Our inventory fluctuates each week. To obtain an notification when your preferred model arrives, please leave your details and we will place you to our queue.
