A wood chipper processes loose branches and brush into smaller chips. A stump grinder removes the fixed stump and exposed roots left after a tree has been cut down. Choose based on whether you are clearing branches or removing a stump.

Choose a model rated slightly above the branch size you process regularly. This collection includes 3–8 inch gas chippers and 5–6 inch PTO chippers. Wood type, moisture, branch shape, and blade condition can affect actual performance.

Choose gas for independent operation without a tractor. Choose PTO if you already own a compatible tractor and regularly maintain a farm, orchard, or larger property. Always confirm tractor horsepower, hitch type, PTO speed, and lift capacity.

The 5-inch PTO chipper is designed for 15–50 HP tractors with a Category 1 hitch. The 6-inch model requires 40–100 HP and supports Category 1 or Category 2 hitches. Both operate at 540 RPM.

Choose a compact gas stump grinder for accessible property work and easier transport. Higher-powered gas models are better suited to larger or more frequent jobs. Choose a PTO stump grinder if you already own a compatible tractor and need to remove stumps across a larger property.

A gas stump grinder operates independently and is easier to move between yards or job sites. A PTO stump grinder uses tractor power and is better suited to recurring farm or acreage work. Confirm tractor horsepower, hitch compatibility, and PTO requirements before choosing a PTO model.

Yes, when the stump is accessible and the work area is safe. Locate underground utilities, remove rocks and metal, wear protective equipment, and follow the manual for your specific model. Use a professional for difficult terrain or stumps near buildings and utility lines.

Choose parts by the exact machine model, SKU, or approved part number—not branch capacity alone. Similar-sized chippers may use different blades, belts, or mounting systems. Check the product page and owner’s manual before ordering.
