Benefits Of Stump Grinders In Tree Care Operations

After you remove a tree, it’s time to put a stump grinder to work. Below are just a handful of benefits a quality stump cutter offers to tree service professionals:

• Speed - Stump grinders are faster and safer than burning, digging, or using chemicals to remove stumps. 
• Versatility - Stump grinders can help clear land for garden and flower beds, construction projects, firebreaks, and reforestation.
• Appearance - Removing stumps makes parks, backyards, and landscaped areas more attractive.
• Health - Eliminating stumps reduces the risk of insects and diseases damaging nearby trees and vegetation.
• Revenue - Adding a stump grinder to your operation’s equipment lineup allows you to compete for more jobs and can open the way to an entirely new revenue stream.

What Sizes Of Stumps Can Stumps Cutters Remove?

Depending on the model, stump grinders can remove stumps measuring approximately 18 to 36 inches (46 to 91 centimeters) in diameter. Cutting depths range from around 6 to 30 in. (15 to 76 cm).

Most stump grinders use a rotating disc with sharp carbide-tipped teeth to saw stumps into small chips. The larger the disc, the larger the stumps the machine can grind away. Vertical stump grinders are also available. These models use a spinning auger and are ideal for removing deep roots.

How Gas, Diesel & Electric Stump Grinders Differ

You can find stump grinders on the market that use various power sources to operate, including:

• Gas - Widely available and easy to refuel on the jobsite, which streamlines stump removal process
• Diesel - Ideal for continuous use and heavy-duty jobs, but these machines often generate more noise and are less ideal for urban, densely populated areas
• Electric - Quiet, emissions-free, easy to maintain, and best-suited for small stumps
