The Bobcat range of stump grinders has been extended with the launch of the new higher flow SGX60 model.

Part of the company’s range of landscape and forestry products, the new SGX60 joins the two existing stump grinder attachments, the SG30 and SG60, currently available from Bobcat. The stump grinders provide an efficient and economical method for removing tree stumps using Bobcat mini track loaders, skid-steers, compact tracked loaders and all-wheel steer loaders.  Mounted at angles between 80-90 degrees to the loader, the stump grinder attachments give the operator excellent visibility of the cutting area. 
A Bobcat stump grinder mounted on one of the company’s compact loaders is much more mobile and productive and costs less than many pull-type grinders on the market.  The new attachment is ideal for use by local authorities, estate managers, arborists, forest contractors and landscapers to clear tree stumps from parkland, forests and on landscaping projects.
With an operating weight of 452 kg, the flow rate of the hydraulic system on the new SGX60 stump grinder attachment varies between a high of 150 lpm and low of 95 lpm.  This compares with the 445 kg operating weight of the existing SG60 model and its high and low range flow rates of 120 and 65 lpm, respectively. 
At 1676 mm (66 inches), the SGX60 is wider than the SG60 model which is 1,181 mm wide.  Both stump grinders have an 81 cm cutting height giving excellent access for grinding taller stumps and the 147 cm of forward reach means less forward movement of the loader is required.  The SGX60 and SG60 attachments have 686 mm diameter cutting wheels and a total of 32 cutting teeth.
The swing cylinder design on the SGX60 and SG60 generates an impressive arc of 80 degrees.  The grinders’ cutter wheels are mounted on an arm and dipper assembly.
