Stump Grinders for Sale in South Queensferry
When grinding makes up a consistent part of your livelihood, buying a grinder first does away with perpetual rent and moreover makes sure the machine is set in your yard for any scheduled work. We direct you to new FSI stump grinders across the entire pedestrian and self-propelled range. We also provide pre-owned machines from FSI and other premium brands as they enter our stock.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Four separate models make up the FSI pedestrian lineage, ranging up in power and capability from the smallest to the largest biggest.
Designed to be the smallest option, the B21 suits intermittent operators, garden maintenance contractors, and professionals requiring a grinder for sporadic tasks together with broader arboricultural duties. In turn, the B22 and B28 provide increased engine power and overall weight.
Looking for speedier grinding? These machines operate with sharper cutters, which makes them the absolute dream for regular operators using equipment several days a month rather than every two weeks!
As the foremost pedestrian option within this range, the B38 is suited to professionals undertaking frequent grinding who require greater cutting power from a walk behind machine capable of matching light tracked equipment under the relevant conditions.
For arboricultural businesses acquiring their first dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 provides a excellent balance of cost and capability. If you already manage 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 equips their self propelled range with the D30, D60 and D74, offering track and remote control options on the D30. As the most compact grinder, this model represents a superb versatile option for contractors moving from pedestrian machinery.
Install tracks to master soft terrain and gradients, or choose the radio remote system if operator placement is critical on your typical projects.
Moving to the D60 brings a weightier and sturdier grinder engineered for commercial capacities and significant stump clearance. As the premier model in this series, the D74 serves high productivity contractors, local authorities, and specialists tackling dense hardwoods and wide diameter timber.
We outline the variations in cutting wheel size, engine output and weight to help ensure you do not buy more than necessary or less than you need.

Our stump grinder hire South Queensferry fleet
For walk-behind tasks, we offer FSI walk-behind grinders perfectly suited for private gardens, residential side accesses, and more modest commercial tasks where a tracked unit is not required. These practical machines easily pass through standard garden gates. They also glide gently over your lawn without causing turf damage, whilst reliably tackling stumps between 18 and 24 inches in diameter, depending on the particular wood species.
To tackle more extensive projects, we offer tracked self propelled FSI grinders, including wireless controlled systems which keep the operator remains safely clear of the cutting wheel during operation. These tracked machinery is the best solution for housing developments, council roadside contracts, golf course tree clearances, hardwood removals, and any site where you must remove numerous 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
Leasing is suitable for contractors with too little stump grinding volume to justify purchasing, teams carrying out a rare clearance project far exceeding their usual capacity, and teams wishing to steer clear of committing capital in machinery used only for several weeks annually.
For operators of a smaller pedestrian unit, renting is an excellent option when securing occasional jobs that require a tracked grinder. Choosing a temporary rental for this larger equipment is much more economical than purchasing machinery that otherwise just sits idle.
Choosing a specialist guarantees you receive the precise grinder for the job, rather than what is left at a generic depot. Hire a stump grinder from chains supplying pressure washers and floor sanders, and your equipment gets the same standard maintenance as their cement mixer.

Stump Grinder South Queensferry FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in South Queensferry?
Rental prices change depending on both equipment dimensions and the length of hire, whilst mainstream retail chains supplying compact 13hp petrol models generally represent the lower end of the market.
Selecting professional grade pedestrian FSI grinders needs a higher daily investment, but they remove stumps far quicker, which eventually cuts your overall cost per stump by preserving valuable time on site.
While tracked machines require the top daily rate, they deliver the greatest cutting volume. Simply ring 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an precise quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Pedestrian grinders are manually controlled machines guided by an operator following behind. Their light and compact nature is ideally suited to garden areas and limited domestic environments.
Driven by hydraulic tracks, tracked grinders utilise greater engine power and larger cutting wheels to manage hardwood stumps and larger contracts, whilst pedestrian machines offer better accessibility at a lower daily cost.
The tracked machines operate with rapid efficiency, working deeper underground to remove the biggest hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
The depth level of your cut depends on the particular model. Pedestrian FSI grinders generally penetrate several inches underground, which effectively prevents regrowth and leaves a level surface for recent lawn to flourish.
Bigger tracked machines achieve increased penetration, making them ideal when a cleared site is to be replanted, slabbed, or constructed upon. Once you provide your requirements for the reclaimed ground, we will carefully advise on the model offering the right cutting depth.
