PTO Stump Grinders

Need a 3 point stump grinder for your tractor? Our PTO stump grinders run off your tractor's power take-off, with models matched to your horsepower. Perfect for high-volume stump removal.

PTO stump grinders mount to your three-point hitch and run off your tractor's power take-off, turning stumps into mulch without a second engine to maintain. Built for landowners, ranchers, and land-clearing crews with high stump counts, these grinders deliver the torque to chew through hardwood stumps and root flares fast. If you already own the tractor, this is the most cost-effective way to clear stumps at volume.

Do You Have Enough Tractor for a PTO Grinder?

PTO stump grinders draw their muscle straight from your tractor, so horsepower and PTO rating drive your choice. Match the grinder to your tractor's rated PTO horsepower and confirm your hitch category before you buy.

• Compact tractors: Smaller grinders sized for lower PTO horsepower and lighter stump loads.
• Utility & ag tractors: Larger units that clear big stumps and heavy root systems faster.
• Hitch & PTO match: Verify three-point category and PTO shaft speed for a clean fit.

PTO vs. Self-Powered Grinders

• PTO grinders: No extra engine, lower maintenance, and serious grinding power for tractor owners.
• Self-powered grinders: Independent gas engine for those without a suitable tractor.

How is a PTO grinder different from a self-powered one?

A PTO grinder uses your tractor's engine and has no separate motor to maintain, while a self-powered unit runs on its own gas engine.
