Attachments Built To Last
Fecon Stands Above The Rest
Fecon offers a full line of tree stump grinders, or “stumpers”, built as attachments for the machine you already run. There is a Fecon stump grinder attachment for mini skid steers, skid steers and skid loaders, compact track loaders, excavators and tractors, from compact units running on 10-20 GPM up to high-flow machines. View the full line below to find the grinder that suits your carrier. If you run a skid steer, the skid steer stump grinder comparison further down lists every model by hydraulic flow.
Stump Grinders
Which Stump Grinder Attachment Is Right for Your Machine?
The right stump grinder depends on two things: the machine you are running it on and the hydraulic flow it can deliver. Every Stump Hog attachment is built to mount to equipment you already own, so start with the carrier.
Stump Grinders for Skid Steers and Skid Loaders
Skid steers and skid loaders have the widest model choice in the line. On the standard-flow end, the Stumper FST220 and FST240 run on 8 to 25 GPM. The STUMPEX 2-Speed mounts to skid steers and CTLs through a universal quick-attach on 20 to 42 GPM. For high-flow machines, the Stumper FST360 and Stump Hog SH270 SS are built for 30 to 50 GPM. Check your skid steer's rated auxiliary flow and we will confirm which skid steer stump grinder attachment fits.
Stump Grinders for Mini Skid Steers and Compact Loaders
The Compact STUMPEX runs on as little as 10 to 20 GPM, making it the fit for mini skid steers and other compact loaders that cannot deliver the flow larger grinders need. The Stumper FST220 covers the same low end of the flow range, at 8 to 12 GPM, and mounts to mini skid steers, mini excavators, and compact loaders alike.
Stump Grinders for Excavators
The excavator's curling action gives a stump grinder ideal reach and control, and the line covers a wide weight range. The Stumper FST240 and FST280 mount to excavators on 12 to 45 GPM, and the STUMPEX 2-Speed excavator model covers 8 to 20 ton machines on 40 to 65 GPM. At the top end, the Stump Hog SH360 excavator series runs three models across 40 to 120 GPM to match larger excavators. Send us your excavator's weight class and flow rating to confirm the right fit.
Stump Grinders for Tractors
Yes, Fecon builds a PTO stump grinder: the Stumper FST3500 mounts to a Class 2-3 three-point hitch and runs on 40 to 90 PTO horsepower at 540 PTO RPM, no hydraulic flow required. The Stump Hog SH300 also mounts to tractors, with a 48-inch wheel for larger stumps. Tell us your tractor's PTO horsepower and hitch class and we will confirm the fit.
Skid Steer Stump Grinder Comparison: Standard Flow or High Flow
Every hydraulic stump grinder in the Fecon line is matched to one number: the auxiliary hydraulic flow your skid steer delivers, measured in gallons per minute (GPM). Standard-flow and high-flow skid steers differ mainly in that number. Find your machine's rated auxiliary flow in the operator's manual or spec sheet, then match it to the table below.
| Model | Cutting style | Best fit | Flow (GPM) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compact STUMPEX | Threaded auger cone, no carbide teeth | Mini skid steers, compact utility loaders | 10 to 20 | 400 lbs |
| Stumper FST220 | Low-speed carbide wheel | Mini skid steers, mini excavators, compact loaders | 8 to 12 | 375 lbs |
| Stumper FST240 | Low-speed carbide wheel | Mini and standard skid steers, UTVs, excavators | 12 to 25 | 475 lbs |
| Stumper FST280 | Low-speed carbide wheel | Standard skid steers (ST) or high-flow (HD), UTVs, excavators | 12 to 25 (ST), 25 to 45 (HD) | 650 lbs |
| STUMPEX 2-Speed | Threaded auger cone, no carbide teeth | Skid steers and CTLs, also backhoes and excavators | 20 to 42 on skid steers | 1,368 lbs |
| Stumper FST360 | Low-speed carbide wheel | High-flow skid steers, excavators | 30 to 45 | 1,110 lbs |
| Stump Hog SH270 SS | Carbide wheel, 25 inch, 24 tools, backfill blade | High-flow skid steers and CTLs | 30 to 50 | 1,700 lbs |
On a standard-flow skid steer, start with the Stumper FST240 or the standard FST280, both on 12 to 25 GPM. If your machine makes 20 GPM or more, the STUMPEX 2-Speed is the other option, and it has no carbide teeth to replace.
On a high-flow skid steer or compact track loader making 30 GPM or more, the larger models open up: the Stumper FST360, the heavy duty FST280 and the Stump Hog SH270 SS. The SH270 SS carries a backfill blade, so you can push the chips back into the hole and level it without a second machine.
Carbide wheel grinders, the Stumper and Stump Hog, sweep across the stump and take it down in passes using replaceable carbide tools. The STUMPEX uses a threaded cone that draws itself down into the stump. Choose a wheel for the widest model range, or the auger for lower tooling maintenance. Not sure which fits? Send us your skid steer's make, model and rated auxiliary flow.
