Stump Grinders for Sale in Shawlands
When grinding generates your steady income, acquiring a machine removes continued rental costs and means it is in your yard prepared for use. We offer new FSI stump grinders across the entire 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)
4 models form the FSI pedestrian range, rising in power and capacity from the smallest to the biggest.
Designed as the most compact model, the B21 serves sporadic users, garden maintenance contractors, and operators needing sporadic grinding alongside tree care. To move up, the B22 and B28 models deliver increased engine power and heavier frames.
Want faster grinding? These machines operate with finer cutters, making them them the absolute dream for regular operators using equipment several days a month rather than once a fortnight!
The B38 is the most sizeable pedestrian model in the range, designed for operators who grind day after day, need greater cutting power, and require a walk behind unit that matches light tracked machines on appropriate projects.
Tree surgery firms purchasing their first stump grinder find the B22 or B28 provides an excellent mix of efficiency and value. The B38 appeals to operators carrying out weekly grinding projects who require a pedestrian machine guaranteed to provide sufficient capacity until the contract is complete.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
Throughout FSI’s self-propelled family, the D30, D60, and D74 reign, offering track and remote-control configurations on the D30. This compact gem is the most compact of the self-propelled grinders. Indeed, it is a excellent all-rounder for contractors ready to outgrow pedestrian gear.
You can choose tracks for steep inclines and loose terrain, or select the radio remote configuration if operator positioning is essential during your typical projects.
Ready to improve your performance? The D60 delivers a more robust, more powerful grinder built for commercial volume and huge stumps! Meanwhile, the flagship D74 is built for high-volume contractors, councils, and operators tackling serious hardwood and wide cuts.
We shall thoroughly guide you through the variations in cutting wheel dimensions, engine power, and total weight, so that you never make an unsuitable purchase.
Used stump grinders in Shawlands
We provide used stump grinders from FSI and additional manufacturers as stock arrives. Our workshop inspects every machine prior to sale, providing transparent reports on cutting wheel condition, hydraulic health, and engine hours.
Should a machine need replacement teeth or expert servicing prior to acquisition, such restorative work is consistently carried out before setting the final showroom valuation.
Looking for your fleet? Choosing used gear is a smart move for tree surgeons who are adding another grinder, busy crews desiring a backup, or fresh startups needing reliable kit without that significant new machine cost!
When buying a stump grinder in Shawlands makes more sense than hiring
Buying becomes the more sensible financial option if you grind often, hire for longer periods annually than finance payments cost, or need to have a grinder instantly available.
Owning equipment provides vital continuity for working crews. Everyday experience with a specific machine increases operator protection and speed. Running the same grinder over the year yields distinct productivity gains across the season.
Stump grinder hire in Shawlands
We offer FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders within our hire range, so you can choose the exact machinery necessary for your specific task rather than compromising with unsuitable equipment. Prior to dispatch, each grinder undergoes meticulous servicing, during which we install sharp carbide teeth, review hydraulic levels, and test the engine.
You will not receive a worn rental machine that has already carried out multiple heavy-duty contracts this month with dull cutters and a loose belt.
Our stump grinder hire Shawlands fleet
For pedestrian operations, we provide FSI walk-behind grinders ideal for home gardens, tight residential side access, and light commercial tasks where a tracked unit is unnecessary. They readily pass through standard garden gates, help protect lawns from rutting due to their low weight, and tackle stumps from 18 to 24 inches in diameter depending on the species.
Are you perhaps tackling a series of major projects? We hire high-quality tracked self propelled FSI grinders, featuring intuitive radio remote controls to keep operators fully safe from the spinning cutting wheel! Those tracked units are really 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
It suits contractors to hire operators with a low stump-grinding workload that cannot justify purchase costs, contractors managing major one-off clearances, and teams reluctant to lock up capital in machinery used only a few weeks annually.
Do you own a smaller pedestrian unit but occasionally pick up jobs needing a tracked grinder? Renting is the ultimate solution! Getting the larger kit for just a few days costs far less than buying a machine that sits idle all season.
Engaging a dedicated specialist helps ensure you are provided with the precise grinder specified for your specific task, instead of merely accepting whatever is available at a typical rental outlet. When you source a stump grinder from a national chain managing pressure washers and floor sanders as well, your machinery receives only the minimal maintenance allocated to a regular cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Shawlands FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Shawlands?
Hire prices vary according to the equipment size and your needed rental period. Typical hire firms supplying small 13hp petrol models often offer the most affordable entry point.
While specialist pedestrian FSI grinders attract a more expensive daily rental rate, their enhanced operating speed provides swift clearance, ultimately reducing the overall expenditure per stump once time on site is calculated.
While self-propelled machines demand the greatest daily rate, they deliver the greatest cutting volume. Simply call 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an exact quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Pedestrian grinders are hand-operated machines guided by an operator at the rear. Their small, compact nature is perfectly suited to garden areas and limited domestic environments.
Propelled by hydraulic tracks, tracked grinders employ more powerful engines and larger cutting wheels to tackle hardwood stumps on high volume contracts, whilst pedestrian machines get to restricted areas at a reduced daily cost.
Tracked machinery offers speedier operation, more extensive subterranean excavation, and the ability to handle substantial hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Just how far down can you go? That depends on your chosen of machine! Pedestrian FSI grinders plunge inches underground to stop regrowth, leaving a smoothly level plot ready for fresh grass to flourish.
Are you looking to replant, cover or develop over the cleared spot? Our more substantial tracked machines can reach much further! Just let us what is going there next and we will recommend the most suitable cutting depth.
