Stump Grinders for Sale in Tain
When stump grinding produces your regular income, acquiring a machine removes recurring rental costs and means it is in your yard ready to go. We offer new FSI stump grinders across the entire pedestrian and self propelled range. We also have used machines from FSI and various major brands as they arrive through trade.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Characterised by 4 distinct models, the FSI pedestrian portfolio ranges in output and capacity from the most compact to the heaviest.
The compact-sized B21 is suited to occasional users, garden maintenance contractors, and operators needing a back-up grinder alongside primary tree work. The B22 and B28 models offer greater engine performance and weight.
Delivering accelerated grinding capabilities with slightly more pronounced cutting edges, this machinery perfectly accommodates professionals who use their equipment multiple times monthly rather than on a fortnightly schedule.
The B-38 is the largest pedestrian model in the range, built for operators who grind day after day, need superior cutting power, and want a walk behind unit that competes with lighter tracked machines on suitable projects.
Are you looking to add a first dedicated stump grinder to your tree surgery business? Opting for a B22 or B28 well blends capability with price! For those grinding weekly, the B38 is the perfect pedestrian machine. It means you never run out of capacity halfway through a demanding contract!
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
The self-propelled range from FSI includes the D30, D60, and D74, with track and remote control options available for the D30. As the smallest model, this multi-purpose grinder serves as the natural next move for contractors progressing from pedestrian machinery.
Install tracks to master soft terrain and gradients, or choose the radio remote system if operator placement is essential on your typical projects.
Initially, switching to the D60 brings in a more substantial, hardier machine built for commercial scales and substantial stumps. Next, the D74 stands as the premier model in this collection, made for productive contractors, local councils, and specialists tackling tough hardwood and wide diameter timber.
We explain the distinctions in cutting wheel size, engine power and overall weight to make sure you do not buy more than you need or less than you need.
Used stump grinders in Tain
We supply well-maintained used stump grinders from FSI and various manufacturers as stock comes in. First, each machine undergoes a comprehensive workshop inspection before being sold, where we inspect and accurately report on the cutting wheel, hydraulic health, and engine hours.
If a machine needs servicing or replacement teeth prior to being sold, this essential maintenance is carefully completed before the final retail price is set.
Purchasing used equipment represents a particularly wise option for arborists acquiring an extra grinder, for teams requiring a spare machine during peak periods, and for emerging enterprises looking for capable machinery without significant capital outlay.
When buying a stump grinder in Tain makes more sense than hiring
When does buying make full financial sense? It is when you are working continuously, renting for more weeks than finance costs, or really needing a grinder ready at very short notice!
For operating teams, possession breeds a crucial acquaintance. Operators grow quicker and safer when guiding the identical grinder every day, a steady routine that in the end results in triumphant seasonal figures.
Stump grinder hire in Tain
Our rental fleet includes FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, helping to ensure you select the most suitable machine to the exact task. We fully maintain every grinder between hires. We attach sharp carbide teeth, inspect hydraulic levels and run up the engine before any unit departs the workshop.
You will not receive a worn hire yard machine that has already completed six jobs this month, complete with damaged cutters and a loose belt.
Our stump grinder hire Tain fleet
Seeking pedestrian machinery? We hire incredible FSI pedestrian grinders suited to private gardens, residential side paths, and lighter commercial work where a heavy tracked unit is just overkill! These nimble beasts easily slide through standard gates, protect lawns from unwanted rutting, and comfortably clear stumps from 18 to 24 inches in diameter.
To accommodate substantial projects, we offer tracked, self propelled FSI grinders, including models featuring wireless remote controls that enable operators to maintain a safe distance from the active cutting wheel. These tracked machines are the ideal choice for housing developments, local authority roadside projects, golf course clearances, hardwood extractions, and high volume daily stump removal. Additionally, their tracks successfully navigate steep inclines, soft earth and challenging terrains that would easily destabilise standard pedestrian machinery.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Hiring is best for contractors with too little stump grinding volume to justify purchasing, teams carrying out a one-off clearance project far exceeding their normal capacity, and operators wishing to steer clear of tying up capital in machinery used only for a short period annually.
For those operating smaller pedestrian equipment who periodically secure contracts that require a tracked grinder, renting this larger machinery for multiple days is much more economical than acquiring equipment that would stay largely underutilised throughout the working season.
Choosing a specialist ensures you obtain the right grinder for your particular task, rather than just accepting whatever is available at a general depot. Hiring a stump grinder from a chain dealing with pressure washers and floor sanders means the equipment gets the same routine care as a cement mixer.

Stump Grinder Tain FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Tain?
The equipment size and rental duration dictate hire tariffs. Standard hire chains supplying compact 13hp petrol units mark the lowest market tier.
Although premier pedestrian FSI grinders carry higher daily rates, their swift operation reduces onsite time, leaving the final cost for each individual stump much more economical.
While tracked machines command a higher daily rate, they deliver unrivalled cutting volume. This is genuine efficiency. Call 0141 775 9288 with your site details for an exact quote.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Looking for easy control? Pedestrian grinders are hand-operated walk behind machines you guide yourself. As they are lighter and compact in design, they absolutely ace small home garden jobs!
To open, tracked grinders propel themselves on hydraulic tracks, using more powerful engines and larger cutting wheels for hard-wood stumps and high-volume contracts. Conversely, pedestrian machines enter tighter spots and offer lower day-to-day running costs.
Tracked machinery speeds up operations, reaches further underground, and removes larger hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
While depth varies by machine, pedestrian FSI grinders typically delve several inches beneath the turf to fully halt regeneration. This makes the earth nicely level. Soon, fresh grass will quickly reclaim the space.
Because substantial tracked equipment delivers superior excavation depth, it stays ideal for ground planned for replanting, slabbing, or construction. Once you tell us your future plans for the area, we will happily recommend the optimal cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Tain?
