What’s a Stump Grinder?
Stump grinders are powerful tools used for eradicating tree stumps. By gradually chipping away at a stump with a multi-toothed cutting wheel that spins at high speeds, stump grinders are able to rapidly tear and strip away small pieces of wood, progressing deeper with each pass.
It is the perfect solution for removing stumps and stubs in all sizes and wood types and is handy whenever small hand grinders can’t manage!
This powerful excavator stump grinder utilizes a disc system for compact excavators.

It is a compact excavator stump grinder for removing individual stumps in forests, parks, roadside and on river banks. Its smaller size makes it very easy to maneuver and suitable for small and midsize excavators.
During urban construction, trees are an important part of environmental greening, but over time, some old trees or branches often become safety hazards. How to effectively deal with these trees and reduce environmental pollution and waste of resources has become an important issue.
The working principle of the incredible tree stump grinder is to use high-speed rotating blades to grind the trees into pieces and discharge them through the outlet. This process is very fast and does not require any additional treatment to completely remove the tree. The trees we are familiar with are mainly composed of three layers, the epidermis, xylem and pith. The blades inside the stump grinder can completely crush these three layers in an instant. At the same time, the utilization rate of the machine has also been improved, and waste can be reused to reduce waste.
