Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You remove tree stumps on residential or commercial properties where a dedicated stump grinder trailer isn't cost-effective
- Landscaping, tree service, or property clearing contracts where stump removal is part of the job
- You already run a skid steer and want to add stump grinding without a second piece of dedicated equipment
Skip if
- Large hardwood stumps over 18 inches are your primary target — a heavy-duty grinder works more efficiently
- Stumps are tight against structures regularly — a side-shift model gives you access a standard unit can't
Also consider
- Heavy-duty stump grinder for large-diameter hardwood stumps
- Side-shift stump grinder for tight obstacle-constrained work sites
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.
About John Deere in Canada
John Deere attachments are available through an extensive Canadian dealer network, ensuring local service, parts availability, and warranty support coast to coast. Designed to pair with JD machines but compatible with any skid steer via universal quick attach.
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
- Attach stump grinder using Bob-Tach
- Connect high-flow hydraulic couplers
- Run wheel at idle to verify direction (wheel should spin into stump, not away)
- Clear 10m radius of bystanders before grinding
