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.

Erskine is a US attachment brand with Canadian dealer coverage, known particularly for augers, soil conditioners, and specialty attachments. Erskine products are available at equipment dealers across Canada and are respected for quality build and reliable performance.

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.
