A stump grinder uses a spinning blade fitted with carbide tipped teeth that scrape away at the stump. Bear in mind that a stump grinder can only work to a limited depth, normally up to 10-12 inches. If you feel up to it, stump grinders can be hired by the day at most local hire shops. If you decide to use a contractor to do the work for you, expect to pay a minimum of around Â£65 plus VAT for the smallest of stumps.
To remove the 30-in.-dia. red maple stump shown here, we used a Vermeer Model SC252 stump grinder, the same size machine found at most rental dealers. It has a powerful 25-hp engine and 16-in.-dia. cutting wheel that's studded with 16 forged-steel teeth.
