Reasons why we DO NOT recommend the use of hire machines

Here at Herts Stump Grinding, we DO NOT recommend the use of self hire machines.

Self hire machines are generally low powered pedestrian machines, which are considerably hard work to operate and will cost in the region of £100.00 per day. You will also need to factor in the cost of fuel and 'teeth'.

These machines can be very dangerous for the inexperienced, especially when not used correctly. The below article demonstrates just how dangerous it can be to tackle the job of stump grinding yourself.
