Overview

About this machine

FSI D74 is an exceptionally efficient stump cutter designed to handle large stumps effortlessly. Its unmatched 735 mm cutter wheel removes more than 12 cm per sweep.

The wide stance ensures stability on slopes and during cutting, while the removable twin wheels enable a slim 89 cm width for navigating tight spaces and garden gates. FSI Power-sweep helps reduce fatigue during long workdays by automatically adjusting the sweep speed to maintain the optimal engine RPM.

Large work area

With a massive 230 cm sweep, most stumps can be eliminated in minutes without repositioning. Cut 94 cm above ground level and up to 50 cm below ground level.

Two-speed ground drive

With FSI Power-drive, a two-speed ground drive system, you can choose between 2WD HI for long-distance travel at increased speed or 4WD LOW for enhanced traction during travel over terrain and stump cutting.

Powerful diesel

The reliable and powerful water-cooled 74 hp Stage V diesel engine delivers impressive torque to the cutter wheel via a T-gear and a double-sided V-belt drive.

Remote control

With the full-featured remote control, the operator has the freedom to choose the best possible position, providing a great view of the work area while staying comfortable at a safe distance.

No slip backs

Built-in hydraulic motor brakes and a counterbalance valve guarantee that the stump cutter will not slip back during grinding, providing stability and security for the operator.

Ways to fund it

  • Hire purchase: spread the cost over a fixed term and own the FSI D74 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.
