FAQ

When should I choose the Toro STX-38 38 HP stump grinder over a smaller walk-behind model?

This machine is commonly used for: grinding large hardwood or softwood stumps; clearing multiple stumps in a single day; working on sloped or uneven terrain; and accessing backyards through standard 36-inch pedestrian gates. It shines because it combines a powerful 38 HP engine and a massive 52-inch hydraulic swing arc with a compact 34-inch width, allowing you to tackle large-scale tree removal jobs without needing a massive tow-behind unit. If you only have one or two small, soft stumps under 12 inches, a smaller walk-behind model may be more cost-effective.

How do I transport this 1,750 lb. stump grinder, and will it fit on a standard utility trailer?

Weighing 1,750 lbs. with dimensions of 95" L x 34" W x 51" H, this unit requires a heavy-duty utility trailer with a ramp and a properly rated towing vehicle. Do not attempt to haul it in the bed of a pickup truck. Ensure your trailer's payload capacity can safely handle the weight, and secure the machine using heavy-duty tie-down straps or chains. If you do not have a trailer, you can rent a <a href="https://www.gappower.com/products/rent-utility-equipment-trailer-2100-lb-capacity-tra3000"> Utility Equipment Trailer, 2100 lb Capacity</a> and use the complimentary "preload" service. Simply ask for the equipment to be preloaded onto your Gap Power rental trailer when making your reservation and the equipment will be preloaded when you arrive.

Will this stump grinder fit through a standard backyard gate?

Yes, with a width of only 34 inches, this machine is specifically designed to pass through standard 36-inch backyard gates. This allows you to bring 38 HP of grinding power into tight residential yards without removing fence panels, though you should ensure the path is clear of tight turns or steep side-slopes.

What are the maximum grinding depth and height limits for this machine?

The Toro STX-38 can grind up to 18 inches below grade (cut depth) and up to 35 inches above grade (cut height). This deep reach is ideal for completely removing root systems to prevent regrowth and allow for immediate replanting or sod installation.

How fast can I expect to grind a typical tree stump with this 38 HP unit?

Grinding speed depends on wood hardness and root structure, but as a benchmark, this machine can grind a 30-inch green softwood stump from 4 inches above ground to 8 inches below ground in approximately 45 minutes. Hardwoods like oak or hickory will take longer, while smaller stumps can be cleared in minutes.
