Fecon Stump Grinder Attaches to Compact Loaders

Fecon LLC, a global manufacturer of heavy-duty site preparation equipment and related forestry accessories for more than 30 years, offers the Stumpex SHX12 stump grinder attachment for rental companies to increase utilization and profitability by providing a cost-effective and efficient stump-clearing solution.

With no carbide tips to replace and no flying projectiles, the SHX12 stump grinder attachment is a safer, low-maintenance approach to stump removal, according to the manufacturer. The unit offers a rental solution to property managers/landowners, farmers, landscapers, tree service companies/arborists, municipalities, parks and recreational facilities, and others seeking to safely remove stumps using a compact utility loader.

“The SHX12 is an ideal rental product with low maintenance requirements and a durable design that offers a long service life,” said Mark Middendorf, Fecon’s Executive Vice President of Sales. “It removes stumps in about a quarter the time of traditional units and appeals to a wide variety of customers. Couple that with a higher rental rate and it’s an easy win for the rental market.”

For Compact Utility Loaders

Specifically designed for compact utility loaders, the grinder attachment uses slow speed and high torque to effectively remove stumps from 4 to 12 inches in a single engagement. It can remove larger stumps with multiple engagements. The powerful drive system generates 4,000 foot-pounds of torque to tackle any species of wood. A hardened auger bit draws the SHX12 blades into the stump, while stepped blades of half-inch thick AR500 steel rotating at 17 rpm slice through wood faster and far safer than conventional stumpers due to the slow rotation auger bit action. The durable 340-pound attachment provides a long service life, even in rocky conditions.

The low-speed auger generates no flying debris, allowing quick and easy clean-up. This also means stump removal next to traffic or other workers doesn’t require shielding the area from debris. The SHX12 attachment is backed by Fecon’s standard 12-month, – 1,000-hour warranty.
