Can I use a stump grinder instead of a stump puller?

Yes, a stump grinder can be used for stump removal, but it serves a different purpose than a stump pulling attachment for excavator. While grinders are designed to chew up the stump into smaller pieces, a stump puller is meant for comprehensive removal, uprooting both the stump and its roots. For larger jobs, particularly those involving extensive root systems, the excavator stump remover is often more efficient and effective. If your project involves substantial stumps that need complete extraction, the excavator tree stump puller is the recommended tool to use.
