Overview
The Fecon STUMPEX is a 2-speed stump grinder that mounts to skid steers and backhoes with as little as 20 GPM hydraulic output — making it one of the more accessible stump grinder options for lower-flow machines. Its low RPM cutterhead delivers 33,600 ft-lb of torque, which draws the head into even the densest stumps. Fecon products are available through Canadian dealers and authorized North American distributors. Used widely in professional tree service and land clearing operations.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You remove tree stumps on residential or commercial properties where a dedicated stump grinder trailer isn't cost-effective
- Landscaping, tree service, or property clearing contracts where stump removal is part of the job
- You already run a skid steer and want to add stump grinding without a second piece of dedicated equipment
⛔ Skip if…
- Large hardwood stumps over 18 inches are your primary target — a heavy-duty grinder works more efficiently
- Stumps are tight against structures regularly — a side-shift model gives you access a standard unit can't
🔍 Also consider…
- Heavy-duty stump grinder for large-diameter hardwood stumps
- Side-shift stump grinder for tight obstacle-constrained work sites
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.

Care & Maintenance
- Check carbide tooth torque before every use — loose teeth eject at high RPM and can cause catastrophic cutterhead damage or injury
- Replace carbide teeth in matching pairs (left-right balance) to maintain cutterhead balance and reduce destructive vibration
- Grease cutterhead drive spindle bearings after every 4 hours of operation — grinding generates significant heat and vibration that accelerates lubricant breakdown
- Clean wood chips and soil from the motor ventilation shroud and belt drive area after every use — blocked ventilation causes motor overheating
- Inspect hydraulic motor fittings for loosening after hard-material sessions — the constant vibration of grinding loosens threaded fittings progressively
How to Connect
- Attach stump grinder using Bob-Tach
- Connect high-flow hydraulic couplers
- Run wheel at idle to verify direction (wheel should spin into stump, not away)
- Clear 10m radius of bystanders before grinding
⚠ Safety NoteHigh-flow required (20-40 GPM). Always wear face shield and hearing protection.
🪵 Before You Buy a Stump Grinder
Virtually all skid steer stump grinders require high-flow hydraulics — and carbide tooth condition is a major operating cost factor.

- Match cutterhead width to your typical stump diameter range
- Factor in carbide tooth replacement cost — budget $300–800/season for regular use

Confirm Machine Fit
Verify your machine's hydraulic flow meets this attachment's requirements before ordering. High-flow attachments need 25–45+ GPM — standard flow machines won't run them properly.
