Tree Stump Grinders for Fast and Thorough Stump Removal
After a tree is felled, tree stumps and deep-rooted root systems often remain. They make it difficult to continue using the land, hinder mowing, or get in the way of planned construction and planting projects. With a tree stump grinder from Jansen, stumps and roots can be removed in a controlled manner down to below the soil surface without having to dig up the entire rootstock. This saves time, protects the soil, and significantly reduces the amount of work required.
Depending on the application, Jansen offers both compact gasoline-powered stump grinders for flexible use and high-performance PTO-driven stump grinders for attachment to tractors.
Which stump grinder is right for you?
The Jansen BSF-15pro is suitable for private properties as well as for gardening and landscaping companies or municipal service providers. Thanks to its compact design—with a machine width of just 79 cm—it can navigate even narrow passages.
The powerful 15-PS LONCIN engine, combined with the centrifugal clutch, ensures smooth power transmission. The smooth-operating swivel joint allows for controlled milling movements, while the individually replaceable tungsten carbide milling teeth offer a long service life even under heavy use.
For larger areas and particularly large tree stumps, the Jansen BSF-60T is ideal. The machine is powered by the PTO shaft of a tractor with 30 to 60 PS and features a sturdy three-point hitch compatible with Categories I and II.
The hydraulically swiveling cutting head is conveniently controlled from the tractor cab. With a cutting wheel 60 cm in diameter, 20 hardened cutting blades, and a cutting depth of up to 30 cm, even heavily rooted tree stumps can be reliably removed.
What should you look for when buying a tree stump grinder?
The choice of the right machine depends primarily on the location, the size of the tree stumps, and the equipment already available.
- Hand-held gas-powered machines are suitable for properties with limited accessibility.
- PTO-driven stump grinders are ideal for larger properties as well as agricultural and forestry operations.
- A sufficient grinding depth facilitates subsequent replanting or soil preparation.
- Replaceable grinding teeth reduce maintenance costs and extend the machine’s service life.
- Hydraulic adjustment enables comfortable and precise operation.
Robust milling teeth for heavy-duty use
The cutting performance of a tree stump grinder depends largely on the grinding teeth. That is why Jansen relies on hardened tool steel or tungsten carbide grinding teeth. Since each cutting edge is individually bolted in place, damaged grinding teeth can be easily replaced without having to replace the entire grinding wheel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Stump Grinders
How Does a Tree Stump Grinder Work?
A tree stump grinder removes the stump layer by layer using a rotating grinding wheel. In the process, wood and roots are ground down to below ground level.
Which tree stump grinder is suitable for private properties?
For private properties or hard-to-reach areas, a compact gasoline-powered stump grinder like the Jansen BSF-15pro is a suitable solution.
When is a PTO-powered tree stump grinder a good choice?
PTO-driven models are particularly well-suited for farms, contracting companies, and municipalities that regularly remove larger tree stumps.
How deep can a stump grinder grind?
Depending on the model, grinding depths of approximately 30 to 50 cm below ground level are possible. This allows most stumps to be completely removed.
Are the milling teeth replaceable?
Yes. On Jansen tree stump grinders, the milling teeth are individually bolted on and can be easily replaced if worn or damaged.
What tractor power is required for the BSF-60T?
For the BSF-60T PTO-driven stump grinder, Jansen recommends a tractor with a power output of 30 to 60 PS.
Are there replacement parts for stump grinders?
Yes. Jansen generally keeps wear and replacement parts for its machines in stock and also supports customers through its own master workshop.
Why use a tree stump grinder instead of digging?
Stump grinding causes significantly less soil disturbance, protects the surrounding area, and is in many cases faster and more cost-effective than completely digging out the rootstock.
