Stump Grinders for Sale in St Leonards
Whenever stump removal makes up a reliable pillar of your income, purchasing equipment cuts out recurring rental expenses whilst delivering immediate operational availability at your premises. We supply brand new FSI stump grinders across the entire pedestrian and self propelled categories, alongside used machinery from FSI and other leading manufacturers as they become available.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
The FSI pedestrian range includes four separate models, which progressively increase in power as well as capacity from the most compact to the biggest.
As most compact option, the B21 is ideal for occasional users, garden maintenance teams, and operators requiring a grinder for periodic tasks alongside general tree work, whilst the B22 and B28 deliver higher engine output and weight.
Need faster grinding? Those machines operate with sharper cutters, which makes them a real dream for active operators using equipment a few days a month rather than every two weeks!
As the ultimate pedestrian model in the collection, the B38 caters to busy crews who require excellent cutting capability. Complete performance. For the appropriate job, this walk behind unit easily competes with light tracked machines.
For tree care enterprises investing in their inaugural dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 delivers an excellent equilibrium between capability and expense. Alternatively the B38 offers a stronger choice for contractors undertaking weekly stump grinding who want a pedestrian machine guaranteed to maintain ample capacity throughout demanding commercial agreements.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
FSI offers a self propelled range including 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, versatile transition for professionals upgrading from pedestrian machinery.
You can select tracks for sharp inclines and loose terrain, or select the radio remote configuration if operator positioning is important during your usual projects.
Moving up to the D60 offers a more robust, capable grinder engineered specifically for demanding commercial workloads and larger stumps. At the same time, the leading D74 model caters to productive contractors, local authorities, and specialists managing hard, dense hardwoods and exceptional timber diameters.
We shall lead you over the variations in cutting wheel size, engine output, and mass to ensure your selection closely meets your operational requirements.
Used stump grinders in St Leonards
We periodically welcome used stump grinders into our yard, featuring FSI alongside other trusted brands. Every machine goes through rigorous workshop preparation before purchase. We inspect them deeply. Cutting wheel integrity, hydraulic health, and true engine hours are always transparently assessed and accurately reported.
Should a machine needs to have servicing or replacement teeth prior to sale completion, this important maintenance is meticulously completed before the final retail price is determined.
Choosing secondhand machinery is a smart choice. It empowers arborists seeking a second grinder, working crews needing peak season security, and up-and-coming businesses needing capable kit without the heavy outlay of buying new.
When buying a stump grinder in St Leonards makes more sense than hiring
When does buying make complete financial sense? It is when you are grinding all the time, renting for more weeks than finance costs, or really needing a grinder ready at very short notice!
Possessing equipment remains crucial for workforce continuity, as personnel develop superior pace and safety through daily contact with a single asset, delivering measurable seasonal efficiency gains from using that dedicated grinder throughout the year.
Stump grinder hire in St Leonards
Our hire fleet provides FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, ensuring you choose the most suitable machine to the exact task. We fully service every grinder between hires. We install sharp carbide teeth, inspect hydraulic levels and start the engine before any unit exits the workshop.

Our stump grinder hire St Leonards fleet
For walk-behind operations, we rent FSI walk-behind grinders ideal for home gardens, narrow residential side access, and light commercial tasks where a tracked unit is unnecessary. They simply pass through standard garden gates, 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 currently tackling a series of massive projects? We supply high-quality tracked self propelled FSI grinders, featuring smart radio remote controls to keep operators completely 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. In addition, 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
How come purchase when you can rent? Renting is the best option for operators without the regular stump grinding volume to justify purchasing. It is ideal for contractors handling an particularly large single project, or crews looking to avoid locking in vital capital in temporary machinery!
Leasing is well suited for owners of a more compact pedestrian unit who sometimes take on contracts requiring a tracked grinder, as renting larger machinery briefly is far more economical than buying an asset that remains idle for most of the season.
Relying on a specialist specialist means you secure the ideal grinder for the job, rather than anything that is sits on a general hire shelf. It is a vital distinction. Hiring a stump grinder from an outlet that handles pressure washers and floor sanders means your essential kit only is given the basic care given to a muddy cement mixer.

Stump Grinder St Leonards FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in St Leonards?
Hire tariffs change based on both equipment size and the lease duration, whilst well-known store chains providing compact 13hp petrol models generally constitute the budget end of the market.
Expert pedestrian FSI grinders attract higher daily rates but grind out stumps much quicker. Since they reduce precious site time, they offer a lower cost per stump.
Tracked machinery with self propulsion attracts the highest daily rate whilst providing the largest volume of cutting. Please contact 0141 775 9288 with your project specifications for an exact quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Run on foot through hand steering, pedestrian grinders offer a light and easy-to-handle and compact design that is perfectly optimised for domestic gardens and extremely confined residential spaces.
To begin, tracked grinders move forward on hydraulic tracks, employing higher-performance engines and bigger cutting wheels for hardwood stumps and high-volume contracts. Conversely, pedestrian machines enter tighter spaces and deliver lower per-day running costs.
Tracked machinery provides speedier operation, more extensive subterranean excavation, and capacity for handling substantial hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Whilst the cutting depth varies by particular model, pedestrian FSI grinders usually penetrate several inches under the ground surface, stopping regrowth and ensuring a flat area for future grass establishment.
Are you considering to plant again, cover or develop over the cleared spot? Our more substantial tracked machines go much deeper! Just inform us what is going there next and we will suggest the best cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in St Leonards?
Are you in need of trade ins? When used FSI and alternative brand machines are delivered, we assess them in our workshop, service what is needed, and issue a fully transparent condition report!
Our inventory varies weekly. To receive an notification when your preferred model arrives, please leave your details and we will add you to our list of contacts.
