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
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.
