PORTABLE POWER | Stump Grinders Bandit’s Model 3000 forestry mower/stump grinder New from Bandit Industries, the Model 3000 forestry mower/stump grinder is designed to be the most cost-effective machine in its class, delivering the capability of larger machines in a compact package. This 142-hp. crawler features a comfortable operator’s cab and a CAT 307 steel-track undercarriage for exceptional flotation. Plus, it wields either a 34-inch stump grinder head or a Bandit-designed 72-inch forestry mower with hydrostatic drive, using similar grind- ing/cutting technology found on Bandit’s Beast grinders. Switching between the attachments takes only minutes. Bandit Industries, Inc. BlueBird SG13 The BlueBird SG13 stump grinder features a new cutting system that provides more efficient and precise cutting re- sults due to its light weight and tooth design. Cutting teeth are available for various soil conditions and contain 3 inde- pendent edges, tripling the use of the tooth. Teeth are available for various soil conditions and are easily rotated. This powerful machine allows users to easily grind objects up to 12 inches below the ground and adjusts to 4 height posi- tions to ensure operator comfort. BlueBird Bobcat’s SG30 and SG60 stump grinder attachments Bobcat’s powerful SG30 and SG60 stump grinder attachments take the work out of stump removal. With a 36-inch width, the SG30 fits easily in limited-access areas. The SG60 has a 32-inch cutting height and 58-inch reach, allowing users to grind an entire stump without repositioning. Mounting the work group at a 90-degree angle to the cab pro- vides the same wide view of the cutting area as a pull-behind unit. Rubber deflecting shields and screening provide extra operator comfort and protection. Bobcat Co. Echo Bear Cat SG340 stump grinder The Echo Bear Cat SG340 stump grinder’s compact design and carbide steel cutting teeth make getting rid of tree stumps a breeze.

Other features of the SG340 include a 340-cc Honda OHV engine, 22-inch 4-ply pneumatic tires, a double-banded belt drive and fully enclosed housing. Echo Bear Cat Fecon’s SH140 stump grinder Fecon offers the SH140 stump grinder for the FTX148 track carrier. The SH140 grinds stumps up to 36 inches below ground level, thanks in part to its proven Sandvik Dura Disk II cutting system. The wheel is 34 inches in diameter and offers a 4.5-inch cut. The 60-degree swing feature provides reach to increase productivity and stump grinding. The Fecon FTX148 is powered by a Caterpillar C4.4 engine that produces 62 gpm of hydraulic flow at 6,000 psi to the SH140 stump grinder. The SH140 has a 1500 high-torque motor and low rpm to maximize both tool and wheel life. Fecon, Inc. Husqvarna’s SG13 stump grinder Husqvarna’s SG13 stump grinder is a well-balanced, maneuverable machine that provides commercial power and high productivity. The new cutting system provides sharper, faster cutting due to its reduced weight and tooth design. Cutting teeth are available for various soil conditions and feature 3 independent edges to effectively triple the use of the tooth. The teeth can be rotated in a matter of seconds using a 9/16-inch wrench. The machine’s stability, balance and adjustable handle allow users to grind objects up to 12 inches below the ground while maintaining a comfortable and safe stance throughout the stump-grinding job.
