The Skid Steer Stumpiranha™

Stumpiranha is manufactured in USA using high strength T1 alloy steel for long wear and abusive conditions. The price is currently $2,490. For more information visit www.stumpiranha.com.

The patented Stumpiranha From Leading Edge Attachments, Inc.???(R)???AE???? is a stump removal tool that replaces the slow process of stump grinding. This allows for complete removal without leaving grindings or stump remains that can cause sinkholes later. This tool originally offered for backhoes and excavators, is now available for skid steer loaders.

Stump grinders are expensive, slow and tap into the hydraulics of a machine which can introduce contaminants in the excavator's complex hydraulic system. Stumpiranha attaches to a skid steer loader using the conventional connection method. It allows the stump to be cut and ripped under the stump from the roots.

The staggered sharp pointed blades cut the roots under the stump one pointed blade at a time, thus allowing the maximum cutting force to be achieved.

The vertical arms of the tool straddle the stump while the blades rip the roots below. This allowing the stump to be removed completely, only leaving the ends of the roots. The stump can then be scooped up and loaded into a truck, without leaving insect infested grindings at the site.
