What is a stump grinder good for?
A stump grinder chews a stump down below ground level so the area can be replanted or sodded.
- Removing stumps after a tree comes down
- Grinding surface roots
- Clearing stumps before sod or landscaping
- Chipping branches and brush: a wood chipper
- Cutting up the trunk: a chainsaw, $15 per hour
- Digging out a whole root ball: a mini excavator, $65 per hour
Walk-behind grinders cost less and work well for small stumps on flat ground, while self-propelled models handle larger stumps and tough terrain but cost more. Choose based on stump size, how many you're removing, and your property's terrain.

What size trailer do I need for the Vermeer SC362?
The Vermeer SC362 weighs 1,320 lb. A single-axle 5 x 8 ft utility trailer typically carries 2,332 to 2,340 lb, which covers it by weight; check that the deck is long and wide enough for the machine. Your tow vehicle has to be rated for the machine and the trailer together: about 1,970 to 2,210 lb with a trailer that size.
Trailers are listed in Alexandria too: a utility trailer, $55 per half-day. Check its payload against the weight above.
Trailer capacities are the typical range for that class of trailer; go by the rating plate on the one you use.
Will the Vermeer SC362 fit through a gate?
The Vermeer SC362 is 35 to 49.8 in wide depending on how it is set up (35 in without dual wheels, 49.8 in with). Even at its narrowest, that leaves little or no clearance in a standard 36 in gate; measure the opening before you book.
