The SS30 Stump Shredder removes stumps from 8 to 28 inches in one pass, and larger stumps are removed with multiple bores.

The stump shredder is optimized for the company’s mid- and large-frame G Series skid steers (320G, 324G, 330G, and 332G) and mid- and large-frame G Series CTLs (325G, 331G, and 333G). A low-speed, high-torque auger planetary drive shreds tree stumps with reduced incidence of high-speed flying debris when compared to conventional stump grinders, Deere says. The shredder’s hardened pilot cone draws the auger into the stump while 0.75-inch-thick AR500 steel blades cut the stump. With the SS30 model, operators can bore up to 20 inches into the ground to remove stump feeder roots.
