Stump grinders are designed and used for the purpose of clearing stumps, digging holes, cutting roots, etc. They do not cause any external damage and that’s a great advantage when it comes to these grinders. These grinders were large in size previously. But now the size has been reduced so that they can be carried in a small truck. They run on fuel. Therefore the longer they run, the higher the fuel cost would be for you.
The capacity of the engines used may be 2-cycle engines or 4-cycle engines. The usage differs as per the engine capacity. For example, 2-cycle engines cannot be used in hill sides, whereas 4-cycle engines can be used for this purpose. They are designed in such a manner that they do not leave any tire marks and can be used all through the year. They are suitable for use even during the rainy season. With special attachments they can be used for cutting concrete also. They are used for maintaining cemeteries, golf courses, lawns and other large areas that cannot be maintained manually. Stump grinders act as a substitute for bulldozers and are used in all the places where bulldozers cannot be used. Stump grinders are comprised of body which is generally made of aluminum, cutting heads, carbide teeth, trenching teeth, bearings legs, and the engine itself.
Stump grinders are useful to landscaping or business organizations offering excavation services. The initial capital outlay required is lesser when compared to the purchase of bulldozers. The cost of operation also works out in a small amount, because the cost of transport and the fuel required for operation are low. Added advantages of these stump grinders are that they can be carried anywhere, used in confined spaces, and clear areas without causing damage to the vicinity. Their operation can be done even in hilly or rocky areas. The simplicity, safety, efficiency, portability and cost have to be considered before making a purchase. They cost anything from $1500 to $4000.
