FSI B31-980 Remote Stump Grinder

Remote-controlled stump grinding with compact access and professional cutting performance.

Short tagline: Powerful tracked stump grinder with remote control for safer and more precise operation.

Engine & drive

The FSI B31-980 Remote uses a Kohler ECH749 V-Twin petrol engine producing around 26.5 hp (19.8 kW). Because this engine delivers strong and consistent power, it supports demanding stump grinding work across a range of environments.

The machine features a fully hydraulic cutter wheel drive, which removes the need for belts. As a result, daily maintenance requirements are reduced while reliability improves during heavy workloads.

It also uses counter-rotating hydraulic tracks, allowing smooth and precise positioning. Consequently, the grinder performs well on slopes, uneven terrain, and confined work areas.

Cutting head

The FSI B31-980 Remote uses a 467 mm cutting wheel fitted with eight FSI 25 teeth. These hardened teeth provide efficient chip removal and consistent cutting performance.

Hydraulic cylinders control the sweep and lift functions of the cutter arm. Therefore, the machine can cover a wide grinding area without frequent repositioning.

The cutting system reaches approximately 68 cm above ground level and around 40 cm below ground level. As a result, it removes stumps and root systems thoroughly.

Frame / chassis / build

The FSI B31-980 Remote is built on a compact tracked chassis designed for professional use. With a width of approximately 980 mm, it balances accessibility with improved stability compared with narrower models.

The robust steel frame supports demanding workloads while maintaining durability. In addition, the tracked design improves traction and stability on soft ground and uneven terrain.

The machine weighs approximately 700 kg, providing a stable platform for efficient stump grinding.

Comfort & controls

The key feature of the FSI B31-980 Remote is its radio remote control system. This allows the operator to control both movement and grinding functions from a safe distance.

Because the operator can stand away from the cutting area, visibility improves while safety increases. In addition, the remote system allows more flexible positioning around the stump.

The machine also includes LED work lighting, accessible service points, and lifting points, which simplify daily operation and transport.

Why choose FSI B31-980 Remote?

Choose the FSI B31-980 Remote if you need a compact tracked stump grinder with enhanced safety and control. While standard machines require close operation, the remote system allows better visibility and safer working conditions.

Because it combines hydraulic cutter drive, petrol power, and tracked mobility, the machine delivers strong performance for arborists and contractors working in restricted or challenging environments.
