Morbark

The D 76 SP 4×4 stump grinder is designed to get to the stump faster and grind it quicker. With a 76-foot boom swing arc, the operator is able to grind more of the stump without repositioning the grinder. The hydrostatic drive to the cutter head provides efficiency and torque to power through tough stumps. The hydrostatic system provides for cooler running components, which extends component life and generates less heat for increased operator comfort. The hexagon-shaped cutter wheel provides for less resistance and friction when grinding through the stump. Flange bearings assist cutter wheel productivity by minimizing exposure to dirt, which puts less drag on the cutter wheel.
