Stump Grinders Benassi

Benassi stump grinders are designed to progressively remove stumps left after trees have been felled. The rotating cutting wheel removes the wood through successive passes, allowing the machine to work below ground level and clear lawns, gardens, parks, orchards and surfaces intended for new landscaping.

The history of Meccanica Benassi began in 1953 in Emilia-Romagna. Over the years, the company has expanded its design and production of machinery for soil preparation and green area maintenance. Its range includes rotary tillers, motor mowers, two-wheel tractors, flail mowers, power barrows, ride-on mowers and other equipment for demanding private users and professional operators.

Benassi production combines mechanical expertise, attention to construction and a focus on a balanced price-quality ratio. Benassi stump grinders reflect this approach through sturdy components, accessible controls and solutions designed for continuous work on wood. AgriEuro offers a category of Benassi petrol stump grinders, intended for the localised removal of stumps without completely extracting the surrounding soil.

On AgriEuro, Benassi stump grinders can be selected according to their technical features, helping users find the machine best suited to the stump conditions, frequency of work and operating surface. The main parameters make it possible to assess cutting capacity, operating autonomy, control and transport.

• Petrol engine: petrol power allows the machine to operate away from electrical sockets and mains connections. On the FR280 model, the Honda GX 390 engine delivers a stated power output of 8.2 kW, equal to 11 HP;
• Cutting system: the rotating wheel removes successive portions from the front and upper parts of the stump. The documented system on the FR280 model includes 12 rotating cutting tools, which must be inspected and maintained according to the manual;
• Grinding depth: this value indicates how far the machine can work below its support surface. The FR280 model has a stated cutting depth of 200 mm, suitable for reducing the stump below ground level;
• Transmission: the transmission transfers movement from the engine to the cutting wheel. The FR280 model uses two belts with an automatic clutch, requiring periodic checks of their condition and correct tension;
• Controls and safety: the safety lever stops the engine and disengages the cutting wheel clutch when released. The brake on the left wheel assists the oscillating movement during grinding and secures the machine when parked;
• Handlebar and wheels: the height-adjustable handlebar allows the operating position to be adapted to working conditions. The tractor-tread wheels support traction on the ground, which must remain relatively level and free from hazardous obstacles;
• Dimensions and weight: overall size and weight affect access through gates, loading and transport. The FR280 model measures 1800 × 1120 × 700 mm and weighs 92 kg, so suitable spaces and ramps must be prepared;

Benassi petrol stump grinders are suitable for semi-professional and professional work, including the regular maintenance of gardens, parks and agricultural land. They can assist gardeners, maintenance operators and experienced property owners with isolated stumps or repeated jobs, provided that the procedures in the manual are followed.

Petrol-powered machines can operate in locations without an electricity supply. Grinding is performed through progressive lateral passes of the cutting wheel across the stump. Depth, feed speed and ground conditions must be assessed before starting.

Benassi petrol stump grinders use a rotating cutting wheel with dedicated tools to remove wood gradually. The machine is positioned close to the side of the stump, and cutting proceeds through controlled oscillations while the wheel is progressively lowered to the required depth. Petrol power provides autonomy outdoors and makes this configuration suitable for gardens, parks, orchards and agricultural surfaces. Before starting, stones, cables, pipes and other hidden obstacles must be identified. The ground must be relatively level, and people, animals and objects that could be struck by projected debris must be kept away. A stump grinder reduces the stump to fragments but does not completely extract the root system. The choice must therefore consider the intended future use of the surface, the required depth and whether roots must be removed completely.

A Benassi stump grinder is used to progressively reduce the stump left after a tree has been felled. The rotating cutting wheel works against the front and upper sides of the stump, removing small portions of wood with each pass. The stump can be reduced below ground level, facilitating the subsequent filling of the hole and surface restoration of lawns, flowerbeds or pathways.

The choice depends on cutting depth, engine power, number of cutting tools, dimensions, weight and surface accessibility. The stump diameter, wood hardness, exposed roots and space available to oscillate the machine must also be considered. The product page for each model provides the correct values for comparing the machine with the planned work.

The depth varies according to the model. For the Benassi FR280, the manual specifies a cutting depth of 200 mm. This value allows the stump to be ground below ground level but does not indicate the complete removal of deep roots. The figure should be checked on the latest product specifications before purchase.

No, grinding does not correspond to the complete extraction of the root system. The cutting wheel reduces the stump and can work on accessible surface roots, but part of the roots remains in the ground. Complete mechanical extraction may be more suitable where excavation, construction work, a new tree in the same location or work on compromised root systems is planned.

Before starting the machine, stones, branches, wires and foreign materials must be removed from around the stump. Electrical cables, pipes and underground systems must also be located. The surface should be relatively level and clear of people, children and animals. The machine must not be operated indoors or in weather conditions that conflict with the manual.

Stump diameter is not the only factor determining whether the work can be completed. Other factors include wood hardness, residual height, required depth, manoeuvring space and ground conditions. Larger stumps require more passes and longer operating times. Suitability must be checked against the product specifications and the manufacturer’s instructions.

The operator must wear the personal protective equipment specified in the manual, including eye and hearing protection, suitable footwear and close-fitting clothing. The cutting wheel can project fragments of wood, soil or small debris, so other people must remain outside the working zone. The machine guards and safety lever must not be removed or modified.

The cutting tools must be inspected periodically for wear, damage and correct tightening. Before cleaning, adjusting or replacing any component, the engine must be switched off and the cutting wheel completely stationary. The spark plug lead must be disconnected according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Sharpening and replacement must follow the procedures and use the parts specified for the model.

The stump grinder must be transported with the engine switched off and the machine firmly secured to the vehicle. Stable, non-slip ramps suitable for the machine’s weight are required for loading. For the FR280 model, the manual states that ramp inclination must not exceed 15°. The wheels and frame must be secured to prevent movement during transport.

AgriEuro provides after-sales support and spare parts ordering for the purchased machine. The spare parts diagram activated in the customer’s account helps identify components through the product’s exploded drawing. The central workshop and service centres within the network are available for eligible technical work according to the procedure established for each case.
