Overview

About this machine

FSI B28 is an economical stump cutter featuring a reliable petrol engine with electronic fuel injection, delivering power while reducing fuel consumption.

The hydraulic wheel drive and a mechanical differential lock enhance the machine’s mobility and increase traction, making it suitable for a variety of terrains and challenging environments. Built-in hydraulic motor brakes and a counterbalance valve guarantee that the stump cutter will not slip back during grinding. All belts and the strong FSI power-clutch are conveniently located on the outside of the stump cutter, making service a breeze.

Customise your experience with optional add-ons such as LED work-lights, FSI power-sweep control system, and twin wheels for greater convenience and functionality.

Reliable engine

The Kohler ECH749 engine with electronic fuel injection starts easily by turn of the key and provides power (26.5 hp / 19.8 kW) with improved fuel economy compared to similar carbureted petrol engines.

Serviceable clutch

This powerful hydraulic clutch with integrated brake was developed by FSI, especially for use in stump cutters. The clutch is fully serviceable, and all components are available as individual spare parts to avoid a complete replacement of the clutch.

Stay safe

Upon release of the safety bar, the cutter wheel will come to a stop within seconds increasing operator safety.

Keep control

The swing-out operator panel provides a great view of the working area and places all necessary controls conveniently within reach.

Safe transport

With multiple, easy-accessible lashing and lifting points you can quickly fasten this stump cutter for transport and arrive safely to the next jobsite.

Ways to fund it

  • Hire purchase: spread the cost over a fixed term and own the FSI B28 at the end.
  • Finance lease: keep capital free and pay for the machine while it earns, with options at the end of the term.
  • Seasonal or stepped payments: shape repayments around busier winter and spring felling periods where lenders allow.
  • Refinance: release cash tied up in machinery you already own to help fund a new grinder.

Things to think about before you buy

  • Access widths and ground conditions on your typical jobs, as they decide between wheeled, tracked, pedestrian or attachment models.
  • Tooth and wear part costs, servicing intervals and dealer support near you.
  • How the grinder will be transported, including trailer weight limits and towing entitlement.
  • Whether new or used stock gives better value for your workload.

We arrange finance for new and used FSI stump grinders from £5,000 upwards, for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies across the UK. Send us the dealer quote and we will come back with clear options in plain English.
