Stump Grinder SC600
Built for 6–12 ton excavators and steady, everyday stump work. The SC600 is the all-rounder for development sites, utility corridors, agricultural preparation, and large landscaping jobs with dozens (or hundreds) of stumps.
Strong enough for real production, without moving up to heavy forestry carrier sizes.
Stump Removal That Doesn’t Create Extra Work
On most sites, stump removal is only “done” when the ground is ready for the next step. The SC600 removes stumps efficiently while keeping disturbance tighter—so you spend less time fixing holes, levelling, and cleaning up.
Reliability
Consistent performance and uptime ensure efficient, reliable service with minimal interruptions and quick response times.
Performance
Speed and efficiency ensure tasks are completed quickly and resources are used optimally, enhancing productivity and satisfaction.
Scalability
Growth capability is a system's ability to scale and adapt, meeting increasing demands and evolving needs for long-term success.
The sweet spot for medium-scale clearing
The SC600 is for projects where stump removal needs to be efficient, but a heavy forestry setup doesn’t make sense: housing developments, farm conversion work, utility routes, and large landscaping areas.
Traditional uprooting often adds a chain of extra steps—digging, moving root balls, backfilling holes, compacting, and re-levelling. The SC600 helps keep that extra work down by processing stumps without turning each one into a mini-excavation project.
If your sites have consistent stump volume and you want predictable progress day-to-day, the SC600 is usually the most practical choice in the range.
Built for development sites and utility corridors
Whether it’s a housing plot, a road edge, or a power line route, the job is rarely “just stump removal.” You need steady progress, controlled work zones, and ground that’s workable for the next crew. The SC600 fits that workflow.
Less backfilling, less rework
Digging stumps out leaves holes that need filling and compaction. That’s extra machine time—and extra cost. The SC600 helps reduce the “fix what we just broke” part of the job, so you can move faster into grading, access, and finishing.
Serviceable, not delicate
Wear parts are meant to be replaced efficiently. Blades are boltable and dual-sided, and the center screw is replaceable. It’s designed for contractors who want straightforward maintenance and predictable uptime.
The All-Rounder for Real Job Sites
The SC600 is the machine you choose when stump removal is a regular part of your work—development sites, agricultural prep, parks, large landscaping, and corridor jobs. It’s strong enough to keep pace, compact enough to stay practical, and matched for the excavators most contractors already run.
Technical Specifications
Cutting Capacity
23.62 IN cutting diameter and 27.56 IN drilling depth cover the stump sizes most contractors meet on development and land preparation jobs.
Gearbox & Torque
Torque matters when stumps vary all day. The SC600 is built to keep removal steady without constant “nursing” from the operator.
Everything You Need to Know
What carrier size do I need for the SC600?
The SC600 is designed for 6–12 ton carriers. That’s the range where you get good stability, appropriate hydraulic capability, and the right balance of output and operating cost.
What hydraulic flow does it require?
65–150 l/min. Flow affects cycle speed and consistency under load. If your machine’s flow drops heavily under load, real output drops too.
What working pressure does it need?
150–250 bar. Pressure supports torque when resistance changes (different species, root density, soil type).
My excavator is 8 tons but low kW. Will it work?
Maybe, but output may be limited. If stump removal is regular production work, matching power properly usually pays back quickly.
How do I know if my excavator’s hydraulics are “enough” in real life?
The best check is your machine’s available flow and pressure under load. Share your excavator model and hydraulic setup and we can confirm fit based on real requirements.
Will it fit my quick coupler?
It depends on coupler standard and dimensions. Provide your coupler type (and excavator model) and we’ll confirm compatibility.
Can the SC600 be used on a tiltrotator?
Often yes, but it depends on the hydraulic configuration and stability. If you run a tiltrotator, share the setup so we can confirm.
How deep can I remove the stump?
Up to 700 mm drilling depth. Required depth depends on your next phase (grading, planting, paving, foundations).
What stump sizes is the SC600 best for?
The common range you meet on development sites, agricultural prep, parks, and larger landscaping. If you regularly face very large stumps and heavy corridor volumes, the 850 Pro may be the better production choice.
How many stumps per hour/day can I expect?
It depends on stump diameter, species, soil, density, and operator technique. Tell us typical stump sizes and site conditions and we’ll give a realistic estimate.
Can it handle hardwood and dense root systems?
Yes. Time per stump varies by species and roots, but the SC600 is built for variation across a day’s work.
Does it work in rocky soil?
It can, but stones increase wear like any cutting process. Operator control and realistic consumable expectations matter in rocky ground.
Wet ground does it make the job harder?
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.
Can it be used in winter conditions?
Yes, within reason. Frozen ground increases resistance and can affect output. If winter work is common for you, tell us typical conditions and we’ll advise best practice.
Why is the SC600 good for development and site prep?
Because you usually need a clean handover to grading and finishing. If you create deep holes by uprooting, you add backfill and compaction work. The SC600 helps reduce that rework.
Will it reduce the amount of backfilling needed?
Often, yes—because you’re not excavating and removing a root ball from the ground. Less excavation typically means less hole to repair.
Can I work in defined zones without damaging surrounding ground?
Yes. The SC600 is suited to controlled work areas where you want to keep disturbance tighter around the stump.
Is the end material usable on site?
Often yes, depending on project requirements. If you need material to be removed or reused, the local spec and site plan decide.
What are the main consumables?
Boltable dual-sided blades and the replaceable center screw.
How often do blades need replacing?
It depends on species, soil, stone content, and operator technique. If you tell us your typical conditions, we can give a realistic range.
Can I flip the blades to extend life?
Yes. The blades are dual-sided, so you can rotate/flip before replacing.
Is routine maintenance complicated?
No. Routine checks are straightforward and designed for working crews, not workshop specialists.
Do I need special tools for service?
Normal workshop tools cover most needs. Documentation and guidance are provided for service tasks.
What about gearbox maintenance?
Follow the service schedule and oil requirements. Correct setup and sensible operation are the biggest factors in gearbox life.
Do you supply spare parts and consumables?
Yes. If you run production work, keeping a basic consumables set on hand is the simplest way to avoid downtime.
What PPE is recommended?
Standard jobsite PPE: eye/face protection, hearing protection, safety boots, and appropriate workwear. Keep safe distances like you would with any cutting operation.
Can it be used near buildings or sensitive areas?
Yes, within normal jobsite safety practices. If the work is very tight-access residential, the SC400 may be a better fit.
Underground utilities—what should I consider?
Any below-ground work carries risk. Utility locating and site checks are essential. Plan depth and approach accordingly.
Do operators need special training?
If someone can operate an excavator properly, they can operate the attachment. We provide guidance on technique, safety, and maintenance for consistent results.
What’s the lead time?
Depends on production schedule and region. Request a quote and you’ll get a clear timeline.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Shipping method and cost depend on destination.
What warranty do you provide?
Warranty terms vary by region and purchase channel (direct/dealer). Warranty terms are provided in writing with the quote.
What support do I get after purchase?
Parts availability, documentation, and technical support. For frequent use, we recommend setting up a simple parts plan up front.
Should I choose SC600 or SC850 Pro?
If you’re doing medium-scale clearing on 6–12 ton excavators, the SC600 is usually the right tool. If your stumps are consistently large and volumes are heavy (corridor/infrastructure scale), the 850 Pro may be the better production choice. Share your carrier model and typical stump sizes—we’ll tell you straight.
