Stump Grinders for Sale in Thurso
When grinding is a steady source of revenue, purchasing a grinder eliminates recurring hire costs and means the machine is on your premises for instant deployment. We supply new FSI stump grinders throughout the entire pedestrian and self propelled range, alongside used machines from FSI and other leading brands as they come into our inventory.
FSI pedestrian range (B21, B22, B28, B38)
Characterised by four distinct models, the FSI pedestrian portfolio scales in output and capacity from the lightest to the largest.
Built for sporadic jobs, the compact B21 grinder supports garden professionals requiring an occasional partner beside their regular tree care. It is remarkably manoeuvrable. Also, the robust B22 and B28 offer increased engine power and weight.
These machines grind at a quicker rate and use more assertive cutters. The setup is suitable for experts operating equipment multiple days per month rather than fortnightly.
Looking for the most substantial pedestrian model in our range? Built for dedicated crews seeking real cutting power, the mighty B38 is a walk behind unit that comfortably matches light tracked machinery on the right jobs!
Whenever tree surgery businesses bring in their first dedicated stump grinder, the B22 or B28 provides a excellent blend between capability and cost. A practical start. But, weekly specialists require the mighty B38, so that this pedestrian machine never runs out of capacity halfway through a contract.
FSI self-propelled range (D30, D60, D74)
The self-propelled range from FSI includes the D30, D60, and D74, with tracked and remote control options available for the D30. As the smallest-sized model, this multi-purpose grinder serves as the ideal next move for contractors moving up from pedestrian machinery.
You can pick tracks for inclined inclines and loose terrain, or opt for the radio remote configuration if operator positioning is crucial during your typical projects.
Moving up to the D60 provides a more robust, powerful grinder engineered particularly for substantial commercial workloads and bigger stumps. Meanwhile, the premier D74 model supports productive contractors, local authorities, and specialists managing dense hardwoods and substantial timber diameters.
We will take you through the differences in cutting wheel size, engine power, and mass to help ensure you do never buy more than you need or insufficiently.
Used stump grinders in Thurso
We occasionally welcome used stump grinders into our yard, featuring FSI alongside additional trusted brands. Every machine undergoes rigorous workshop preparation before being sold. We inspect them carefully. Cutting wheel integrity, hydraulic health, and true engine hours are always clearly assessed and honestly reported.
Does a device require new teeth or a thorough service? We complete all that essential work before the amount is ever placed on the floor!
Wanting to expand your fleet? Choosing used gear is a sound move for tree surgeons who are adding another grinder, busy crews desiring a backup, or fresh startups needing capable kit without that massive new machine cost!
When buying a stump grinder in Thurso makes more sense than hiring
Purchasing your equipment becomes the sensible economic step when you grind continuously, book for more weeks annually than finance instalments cost, or require a grinder on standby at a moment’s notice.
Committed leadership supports teams that demand reliability. First, users become more efficient and more confident by working with familiar machinery daily. Therefore, the output benefits of operating the same grinder throughout the year will lift your annual figures.
Stump grinder hire in Thurso
Our leasing fleet includes FSI pedestrian and tracked stump grinders, so that you choose the right machine to the specific task. We thoroughly maintain every grinder between hires. We fit sharp carbide teeth, inspect hydraulic levels and start the engine before any unit leaves the workshop.
You will not receive a worn rental machine that has already carried out multiple demanding contracts this month with dull cutters and a sliding belt.
Our stump grinder hire Thurso fleet
For pedestrian jobs, our FSI walk behind grinders offer the ideal solution for home gardens, narrow side entrances, and smaller commercial jobs where a tracked unit seems unnecessary. Such machines glide through ordinary garden gates and move gently to guard your lawn, smoothly clearing stumps between 18 and 24 inches wide depending on the species.
To tackle more extensive jobs, we offer tracked self propelled FSI grinders, including wireless controlled systems which keep the operator remains safely clear of the cutting wheel during operation. Such tracked machinery is the ideal 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 cross banks, soft ground, and rough terrain that would easily overturn a standard pedestrian model.
When stump grinder hire makes more sense than buying
Hiring is ideal for contractors with too little stump grinding volume to warrant buying, teams carrying out a rare clearance project far exceeding their normal capacity, and teams wishing to avoid committing capital in machinery used only for a few weeks annually.
Renting is a good option for owners of a more compact pedestrian unit who sometimes win contracts requiring a tracked grinder, as renting larger machinery briefly is much more cost-effective than purchasing an asset that sits idle most of the season.
Why settle for a random machine? Working with a specialist makes sure you get the absolute perfect grinder for your specific project. Select a standard depot offering pressure washers and floor sanders alongside your stump grinder, and your precision kit receives the same basic maintenance as a standard cement mixer!

Stump Grinder Thurso FAQ
How much does stump grinder hire cost in Thurso?
How do rental charges work? Costs depend solely on the size of the machine and your rental period! Everyday hire chains with small 13hp petrol units typically occupy the budget end.
While premier pedestrian FSI grinders attract higher daily rates, their fast operation lessens onsite time, leaving the final cost for every individual stump far more economical.
While tracked self propelled machines carry the highest daily price, they offer the highest volume of cutting. Please get in touch with 0141 775 9288 with your project details for an exact quotation.
What’s the difference between a pedestrian and tracked stump grinder?
Operated on foot through manual steering, pedestrian grinders offer a lightweight and small design that is perfectly optimised for home gardens and highly restricted residential spaces.
Using hydraulic tracks, tracked grinders run powerful engines and giant cutting wheels to remove hardwood stumps and massive contracts! In contrast, smaller pedestrian machines work in narrower spaces and cost less per day.
Tracked offers improved pace, reaches deeper subterranean reach, and effectively tackles significant hardwood stumps.
How deep can your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Depth capacities vary by type. Pedestrian FSI grinders remove material several inches below ground level, removing regrowth and producing a flat surface ready for new grass.
Larger-sized tracked machines achieve deeper penetration, making them ideal when a cleared site is to be replanted, slabbed, or constructed upon. Once you provide your plans for the reclaimed ground, we will carefully advise on the model offering the perfect cutting depth.
Do you sell used stump grinders in Thurso?
