Simplify Land Preparation or Residential Maintenance With Our Skid Steer Stump Grinders!
Old tree stumps are a liability. They create safety hazards, attract pests, and interfere with landscaping plans. But digging them out eats up time and strains equipment. A skid steer stump grinder can make quick work of these problems.
You can mount a high-torque, carbide-tooth flywheel directly to your skid steer’s hydraulic system and grind a stump down to ground level in one pass - leaving behind fine chips to decompose naturally and quickly.
Here at Top Tier Attachments, you’ll gain access to the most reliable skid steer stump grinders. That includes Blue Diamond Extreme Duty and Swing-Arm models, plus Baumalight S18, S22, S24, S28, and S40 series.
Each model features a universal quick-attach plate, sealed bearings, and hardened steel teeth to withstand daily use. You can get your stump grinder for skid steer fast, too, since we ship from US warehouses.
Your order is backed by a one-year structural warranty and lifetime support as well. Stop stressing about stump removal once and for all. Get in touch with our team for one-on-one support picking the perfect attachment.
Choosing the Right Stump Grinder for Skid Steer
There are three main factors that go into selecting the ideal skid steer stump grinder: hydraulic flow, required cutting capacity, and machine weight.
Standard-flow skid steers (15-25 GPM) pair well with Baumalight S18 and S22 models. High-flow machines (25-35 GPM) can run heavier units like the S28, S40, or Blue Diamond Extreme Duty.
You need to account for stump diameter and soil conditions as well, though. The S18 handles stumps up to 10" in diameter, while the S40 tackles 24" stumps without skipping a beat.
Verify your skid steer’s auxiliary hydraulics and confirm your machine’s electrical harness type (14-pin or 7-pin) if you choose a swing-arm grinder. Our in-house experts review your specs one-on-one to recommend the right attachment for efficient grinding and minimal wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it Better to Grind or Dig Out a Stump?
Grinding is faster and less labor-intensive than digging. Our stump grinders shred roots and trunks in place, eliminating the need for excavation equipment or manual digging.
Can You Put a Stump Grinder on a Skid Steer?
Yes - we make it easy here at Top Tier Attachments. Aside from our typical stump grinders for skid steers we also have mini skid steer stump grinders, excavator stump grinders, mini excavator stump grinders, and PTO stump grinders.
Does a Skid Steer Stump Grinder Need High Flow?
Not always. Smaller Baumalight models (S18, S22) operate on standard flow (15-25 GPM). However, heavy-duty units like the S28, S40, and Blue Diamond Extreme Duty require high-flow (25-35 GPM) to maintain rotor RPM under load.
What is the Most Reliable Stump Grinder for Skid Steers?
Baumalight and Blue Diamond lead the industry for reliability, which is why we exclusively carry these brands at Top Tier Attachments. You can rest assured you’re getting the dependable, long-lasting solution you need when you source equipment from us.
How Long Does it Take to Grind a 20-Inch Stump With a Skid Steer?
A high-flow skid steer with a Baumalight S28 or S40 can grind a 20” stump in 3-5 minutes, depending on wood density and operator skill. Standard-flow machines using an S22 may take 8-10 minutes for the same stump. Consistent forward feed and maintaining full engine RPM help you work through the stump faster.
How Low Should I Grind a Stump?
Grind at least 2-4 inches below ground level to prevent regrowth and remove enough root mass for planting or grading. You should grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level for property regrading, though. Always clear chips from the hole to inspect root depth and confirm you’ve reached solid ground before backfilling.
