In Estonia’s green suburbs and even across the islands, arborist Heiki Hanso and his team at ArborEst are redefining how tree stumps are removed. With the Dipperfox SC600 stump crusher mounted on a Manitou MRT2550+ telescopic loader, they’ve taken stump drilling to a whole new level — quite literally, up to 17.8 meters away from the machine.
“The Dipperfox drill handled every stump perfectly. A long reach makes aiming tricky, but the precision and power are incredible. Unlike traditional fast-spinning grinders, nothing flies around — no need for protective screens,” says Hanso.

Precision and Power, Wherever You Need It
Using heavy-duty equipment like a tree crane allows ArborEst to reach over fences, work from stable surfaces like driveways, and minimize on-site disturbance. With Dipperfox’s slow-speed, high-torque drilling, stump removal becomes safer, quieter, and more efficient — even in tight or sensitive urban areas.
The drilled wood chips and fragments stay local, often reused as mulch to restore soil life naturally. It’s a clean, environmentally friendly approach that saves both time and extra manual work.

Record Distances and Real Efficiency
ArborEst recently achieved two new records:
Longest-distance stump drilling – 17.8 meters
Closest stump drilling – just 0.05 meters from the machine
Such precision would be unthinkable with conventional stump grinders. And with the Dipperfox SC600, there’s no need for safety screens or constant repositioning — a major advantage when working near buildings, cars, or gardens.
A Versatile Tool for Dangerous Tree Work
Beyond stump drilling, ArborEst’s crane setup doubles as a powerful machine for dangerous tree removal, ideal for tight plots and storm-damaged areas. The same precision and control that make Dipperfox effective underground also ensure safety and accuracy when dismantling hazardous trees from above.
Efficient. Safe. Local.
ArborEst’s work shows how Dipperfox stump crushers integrate seamlessly with professional arborist operations — from city backyards to island landscapes.
The result? Less mess, more precision, and a faster turnaround for clients who value both efficiency and environmental care.
