Stump Shredders

Remove stumps from 203 to 711 mm (8 to 28 in.) in diameter in a single pass and easily remove larger stumps with multiple bores with your skid steer or compact track loader. Low-speed, high-torque auger planetary drive shreds material more safely and without the dangerous flying debris of conventional stump grinders. Site cleanup is easy thanks to the small, contained chip pile.
