Professional Stump Grinding for Skid Steers, Excavators & Compact Equipment
Turn the equipment you already own into a powerful stump removal machine with the Fecon Stumper stump grinder attachment. Available for mini skid steers, skid steers, compact track loaders, excavators, and tractors, the Stumper combines a low-RPM, high-torque cutting system with simple hydraulic operation for efficient stump and root removal.
Unlike stump grinders that rely on complicated belt, pulley, gearbox, or electrical systems, the Stumper by Fecon uses a direct-drive design built for simplicity and durability. Connect it to a compatible carrier, engage the hydraulics, and get to work.
With five models available and hydraulic requirements ranging from compact-machine standard flow to high-flow applications, there is a Fecon Stumper designed for everything from residential landscaping and tree service to land clearing, agriculture, rental fleets, and municipal work.
Why Choose the Fecon Stumper?
Low-RPM, High-Torque Stump Grinding
The Fecon Stumper is designed to make aggressive, controlled cuts through stumps and roots without relying on extremely high cutting-wheel speeds. Its high-torque design allows the operator to take larger cuts for productive stump removal and efficient cleanup.
Grind Above, Across & Below Grade
Attack the stump from multiple angles. The cutting wheel can perform face grinding, edge grinding, and below-grade grinding, allowing operators to remove both the visible stump and material below the soil surface.
Oversized rakers help control cutting depth, reducing unnecessary stress on the cutting tools while maintaining consistent performance.
Simple Direct-Drive Design
Less complexity means fewer components to maintain. The Stumper's direct-drive system eliminates many of the components commonly associated with stump grinding equipment, including:
- Belts
- Pulleys
- Gearboxes
- Actuators
- Electrical connections
The result is a straightforward attachment designed to spend more time grinding and less time being serviced.
Excellent Visibility & Maneuverability
Because the Stumper goes wherever your carrier can go, operators can position the cutting head close to buildings, fences, trees, and other obstacles while maintaining excellent visibility of the work area.
This makes the Stumper particularly useful for residential tree removal, landscaping, property maintenance, and other applications where working space may be limited.
One Stump Grinder Platform for Multiple Machine Sizes
The Fecon Stumper lineup covers everything from compact equipment to full-size skid steers and excavators.
Which Fecon Stumper Do I Need?
Choosing the right Stumper primarily depends on your machine type, hydraulic flow, operating capacity, and application.
FST220
The compact Fecon FST220 stump grinder is designed for smaller carriers, including mini skid steers, mini excavators, and compact loaders. With a 22-inch cutting diameter, 6-inch cut depth per pass, and an 8–12 GPM hydraulic requirement, it is a strong option for compact equipment owners who want to add stump grinding capability without purchasing a dedicated stump grinder.
FST240
The FST240 steps up to a 24-inch cutting diameter and 8-inch cutting depth per pass. Its 12–25 GPM hydraulic range makes it suitable for a variety of compact and standard equipment applications.
FST280
For operators wanting additional cutting capacity and flexibility, the FST280 features a 28-inch cutting diameter and 8-inch cut depth per pass. Standard and heavy-duty hydraulic configurations allow the FST280 to work with machines ranging from standard-flow equipment to higher-flow carriers.
FST360
Built for larger machines and demanding stump removal, the FST360 features a 36-inch cutting diameter and can cut up to 12 inches deep per pass. Requiring 30–45 GPM, this model is designed for larger skid steers and excavators capable of supporting its 1,110-pound operating weight.
FST3500 PTO
Need a tractor stump grinder instead? The FST3500 brings the Stumper design to agricultural tractors using a Category 2–3 three-point hitch and 540 RPM PTO. It is designed for tractors in the 40–90 PTO horsepower range.
Popular Applications
The Fecon Stumper is an excellent stump removal attachment for:
- Tree service companies
- Landscaping contractors
- Land clearing contractors
- Property maintenance
- Farms and ranches
- Municipalities
- Rental fleets
- Residential stump removal
- Right-of-way maintenance

Fecon Stumper vs. a Dedicated Stump Grinder
For contractors who already own a skid steer, mini skid steer, excavator, or compatible tractor, adding a stump grinder attachment can eliminate the need to purchase, transport, maintain, and store another dedicated machine.
The Stumper allows you to use the hydraulic power and mobility of equipment already in your fleet while adding another revenue-producing capability to the machine.
Finish a tree removal or land-clearing project, connect the Stumper, remove the remaining stumps, and complete more of the project with equipment you already own.
