Stump Grinders for Sale in Shotts
Whenever stump grinding produces your main income, buying a machine cuts out recurring rental costs and makes sure it is in your yard ready to go. We supply 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)
The FSI pedestrian range offers four distinct models, which gradually grow in power and capacity alike from the most compact to the biggest.
The compact-sized B21 caters for intermittent users, garden maintenance teams, and operators requiring a back-up grinder alongside main tree work. The B22 and B28 models provide enhanced engine output and build.
These units provide speedier grinding and use somewhat more aggressive cutters, which perfectly suits professionals running the machinery multiple days per month instead of twice monthly.
As the supreme pedestrian model in the line-up, the B38 caters to busy crews who demand superior cutting capability. Complete performance. For the right job, this walk behind unit comfortably matches light tracked machines.
Tree surgery firms acquiring their first stump grinder find the B22 or B28 delivers an effective combination of performance and value. The B38 suits operators carrying out weekly grinding projects who want a pedestrian machine intended to provide sufficient capacity until the contract is finished.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
Want to move on from pedestrian gear? FSI’s impressive self propelled family spans the D30, D60, and D74, providing track and remote control options on the D30! This compact grinder is the perfect versatile machine for ambitious contractors.
Add tracks for navigating yielding terrain and inclines, or choose the radio remote specification should operator placement be critical to your everyday operations.
Graduating to the D60 provides a stronger, powerful grinder engineered specifically and carefully for substantial commercial workloads and larger stumps. Meanwhile, the premier D74 model serves experienced contractors, local authorities, and specialists managing dense hardwoods and exceptional timber diameters.
We will take you through the variations in cutting wheel size, engine output, and weight to ensure you do never buy excessively or insufficiently.
Used stump grinders in Shotts
We occasionally acquire used stump grinders from well-regarded brands including FSI, ensuring every machine undergoes rigorous workshop testing before being offered for sale. Our specialists thoroughly inspect and transparently report on important elements such as cutting wheel integrity, hydraulic efficiency, and documented engine hours.
Does a device require fresh teeth or a full service? We complete all this important work before the price is ever set out on the floor!
Wanting to expand your fleet? Investing in used gear is a sound 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 Shotts makes more sense than hiring
Investing in your grinder makes clear financial sense once the daily workload picks up. Indeed, when cumulative hire fees outpace finance payments, or sudden project demands mean you need a grinder at very short notice, ownership protects your future.
Owning equipment remains crucial for workforce continuity, as personnel build superior speed and safety through daily contact with a single asset, delivering measurable seasonal efficiency gains from utilising that dedicated grinder throughout the year.
Stump grinder hire in Shotts
Discovering the perfect match matters, so our hire fleet of FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders is tailored to your exact task rather than forcing an unsuitable machine to work hard. We guarantee peak performance. Before every hire, our workshop team carefully services each machine, fitting sharp carbide teeth, verifying hydraulic levels, and testing the engine.
You will not receive a worn hire yard machine that has already endured six assignments this month, complete with used cutters and a loose belt.
Our stump grinder hire Shotts fleet
In need of pedestrian machinery? We hire high-quality FSI pedestrian grinders ideal for home gardens, side paths in residential properties, and light commercial tasks where a heavy tracked unit is plainly overkill! These manoeuvrable beasts effortlessly slide through standard gates, help protect lawns from unsightly rutting, and comfortably clear stumps from 18 to 24 inches in diameter.
To tackle larger works, we supply tracked self propelled FSI grinders, including wireless controlled systems which help ensure the operator remains safely clear of the cutting wheel during operation. Such tracked machinery is the best solution for residential developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and any site where you must remove a number of stumps daily. These tracks safely handle banks, soft ground, and rough terrain that would easily overturn a standard pedestrian model.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Rental ideally suits crews whose stump grinding volume cannot yet support a purchase, contractors completing a special clearance far above their usual scale, and crews refusing to lock up significant capital in equipment used only a few weeks annually.
For those operating smaller pedestrian equipment who occasionally secure contracts requiring a tracked grinder, hiring this larger equipment for a few days is far more economical than buying equipment that would stay largely underused throughout the working season.
Choosing a specialist ensures you secure the most suitable grinder for your particular task, rather than just settling for whatever is available at a general depot. Procuring a stump grinder from a chain dealing with pressure washers and floor sanders means the equipment gets the same basic care as a cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Shotts FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Shotts?
Rental charges vary according to the equipment size and your required duration. General hire firms offering small 13hp petrol models generally represent the cheapest starting point.
Putting money into professional grade pedestrian FSI grinders calls for a higher daily rate, yet they conquer stumps with breathtaking speed. Swift work. Taking into account saved site hours makes each clearance cheaper.
Tracked machinery with self propulsion attracts the highest daily rate whilst delivering the greatest volume of cutting. Please get in touch with 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an precise quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Run on foot, pedestrian grinders require manual pushing and guidance. These lightweight, sleek machines are ideal for private gardens and confined housing spaces.
Using hydraulically propelled tracks, tracked grinders run robust engines and oversized cutting wheels to conquer hardwood stumps and massive contracts! At the same time, narrow pedestrian machines work in narrower spaces and are cheaper per day.
Tracked machinery offers accelerated operation, deeper subterranean excavation, and capacity for handling substantial hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
The cut depth of your cut depends on the specific model. Pedestrian FSI grinders usually reach several inches underground, which successfully prevents regrowth and creates a level surface for recent lawn to flourish.
Our substantial tracked machinery penetrates much deeper, ideal for sites set to be replanted, slabbed, or built over. Tell us your vision for the reclaimed landscape, and we shall advise on the precise cutting depth needed to achieve your tomorrow.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Shotts?
