Stump Grinder SC400

The SC400 is designed for 1.5–5 ton excavators. That’s the sweet spot for stability, reach, and the hydraulic requirements needed for steady work.

30–130 l/min. Flow affects speed and consistency under load. If your excavator can’t maintain flow when working, output drops.

110–250 bar. Pressure supports torque when resistance changes (species, root density, soil type).

Yes, as long as hydraulics are within range. On the smallest carriers, you may work at a more measured pace—but it’s still a proper professional setup.

In many cases, yes—if hydraulics and mounting are correct. Typical carrier ranges often used are:

• Backhoe loader: 3–6 t class (power depends on model)

• Compact loader / skid steer: 1–2.5 t class (power depends on model)

Send your machine details and we’ll confirm compatibility honestly.

Depends on coupler type and dimensions. Share your coupler standard and excavator model and we’ll confirm.

Often yes, but it depends on the hydraulic setup and stability. Tell us your configuration and we’ll confirm.

Up to 590 mm drilling depth. Required depth depends on what comes next (replanting, turf repair, paving, etc.).

Residential and urban stump sizes—exact output depends on diameter, species, roots, and soil. If your work is consistently large stumps at high volume, the SC600 or 850 Pro may be a better fit.

It depends on conditions and operator technique. In controlled testing, performance for smaller stumps can be very high—but real-world numbers vary. If you share typical stump sizes and site conditions, we’ll give a realistic expectation.

Yes. Hardwood and dense roots increase time per stump, but the machine is built for variation across daily work.

Yes, but stones increase wear like any cutting process. In rocky soil, consumables wear faster—plan for that.

Access and ground stability become the limiting factors. One advantage compared to uprooting is you typically avoid leaving big holes that turn into soft spots.

It’s generally more controlled than aggressive side grinding, so the “cover everything” routine is often reduced. That said, stump removal still creates chips—use normal site safety and protect sensitive areas when needed.

Any stump removal disturbs some ground, but controlled removal keeps the affected area tighter around the stump. A cleaner finish usually means less repair work afterward.

That’s one of the main reasons people choose the SC400. You still need safe working distances, but the tool is suited to tighter environments.

It’s working equipment—so yes, it makes noise. The benefit is you typically finish the job faster and with less mess compared to slower, more chaotic approaches.

Boltable dual-sided blades and the replaceable center screw.

Yes. The blades are dual-sided, so you can rotate/flip before replacing.

Depends on stump species, soil type, stone content, and operator technique. Tell us your typical conditions and we’ll give a realistic range.

No. Routine checks are straightforward and designed for working crews.

Normal workshop tools cover most needs. Documentation and guidance are provided.

Standard PPE: eye/face protection, hearing protection, safety boots, and appropriate workwear. Keep safe distances like you would with any cutting operation.

Any below-ground work carries risk. Utility locating and site checks are essential. Plan depth and approach accordingly.

If you can operate an excavator properly, you can operate the attachment. We provide guidance on technique, safety, and maintenance.

Depends on production schedule and region. Request a quote and we’ll give a clear timeline.

Yes. Shipping method and cost depend on destination.

Warranty terms vary by region and purchase channel (direct/dealer). Warranty terms are provided in writing with the quote.

Parts availability, documentation, and technical support. If you run frequent jobs, keeping basic consumables on hand is the easiest way to avoid downtime.

If you mostly work residential, city jobs, and tight access with 1.5–5 ton carriers, the SC400 is usually the right choice. If your stump volume is higher and sites are larger (development/land prep), the SC600 may be the better fit. Tell us your carrier and typical stump sizes—we’ll tell you straight.
