Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You grind hardwood stumps over 18 inches diameter — large oaks, maples, or elms that standard grinders struggle with
  • Production tree service or land clearing where stump count and diameter are high
  • Your large-frame skid steer has the hydraulic flow and lift capacity to run a heavy grinder effectively

Skip if

  • Most of your stumps are under 12 inches — a standard grinder completes those faster with less wear
  • Your machine is compact or mid-frame — a heavy grinder may exceed carrier capacity

Also consider

  • Standard stump grinder for typical residential and light commercial stump removal
  • Side-shift stump grinder if you work near obstacles frequently
Machine Compatibility

Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.

Care & Maintenance

  • Check carbide tooth torque before every use — loose teeth eject at high RPM and can cause catastrophic cutterhead damage or injury
  • Replace carbide teeth in matching pairs (left-right balance) to maintain cutterhead balance and reduce destructive vibration
  • Grease cutterhead drive spindle bearings after every 4 hours of operation — grinding generates significant heat and vibration that accelerates lubricant breakdown
  • Clean wood chips and soil from the motor ventilation shroud and belt drive area after every use — blocked ventilation causes motor overheating
  • Inspect hydraulic motor fittings for loosening after hard-material sessions — the constant vibration of grinding loosens threaded fittings progressively

How to Connect

  1. Attach stump grinder using Bob-Tach
  2. Connect high-flow hydraulic couplers
  3. Run wheel at idle to verify direction (wheel should spin into stump, not away)
  4. Clear 10m radius of bystanders before grinding
Safety NoteHigh-flow required (20-40 GPM). Always wear face shield and hearing protection.
