Overview

About this machine

The FSI D30 stump cutter family is aimed at professional users who regularly use a stump grinder in their work.

The FSI D30 stump cutter is a powerful solution featuring an economical diesel engine. This robust machine generates torque at low RPM, minimising noise and increasing operator comfort.

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

The optional FSI power-sweep control system can be added to further reduce engine and drivetrain stress. The FSI D30 stump cutter tackles even the most challenging stump removal tasks with ease and efficiency.

Serviceable clutch

This powerful hydraulic clutch ‘FSI power-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.

Keep control

The swing-out operator panel provides a great view of the working area and places all necessary controls conveniently within reach. While the safety bar ensures the cutter wheel disengages upon release for enhanced operator safety.

Powerful diesel

The water-cooled Kubota engine provide high torque and low fuel consumption compared to similar petrol engines, making it ideal choice for many companies.

Narrow access

Easily removable twin wheels enable a narrow 80 cm width for easy passage through tight spaces, such as narrow passages or garden gates, providing access to hard-to-reach stumps.

Reliable performance

FSI D30 offers hydraulic wheel drive and a mechanical differential lock to enhance the machine’s mobility, making it suitable for a variety of terrains. Built in hydraulic motor brakes and a counterbalance valve guarantee that the stump cutter will not slip back during operation.

Ways to fund it

  • Hire purchase: spread the cost over a fixed term and own the FSI D30 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.
