Vermeer SC30TX Stump Cutter

A track stump grinder is a self-propelled track-mounted machine used in the forestry industry to remove tree stumps from the ground following the removal of the trunk. Most often, a stump grinder employs a rotating disk with sharp metal teeth, often composed of tungsten carbide, to grind or saw the stump into small particles or chips. The disk of this type of machine rotates side to side to shave down the stump a few inches at a time, then lowers to make subsequent passes until the stump is no longer protruding from the ground.

Types Of Track Stump Grinders

Track stump grinders come in a variety of sizes ranging from a machines small enough to fit on a two-wheel trailer to a grinder as large as a full-size excavator. Crawler excavators, bulldozers, tractors, and other crawler equipment may be referred to as track stump grinders if outfitted with a stump grinding attachment. Self-propelled mini stump grinders on rubber tracks are a popular option, and many of these are stand-on units with operator platforms on the rear of the machine.

Other units feature side-mounted or remote controls. Track stump grinders tend to be easier to manoeuvre in rough terrain, but must be trailered for transport over paved public roads. Due to their off-road capabilities, track stump grinders tend to be favored for forestry operations. You’ll also find used wheel stump grinders and towable grinders for sale on ForestryTrader.ca.
