Description

Looking for a stump grinder rental? Look no further! Designed for ease of operation, the compact Vermeer stump grinder includes intuitive controls, minimal service points, and powerful performance. 

It features rubber tracks that make it more buoyant on soft surfaces. The two individually controlled tracks allow the user to work in tight spaces. Additionally, the zero-turn radius also helps with positioning at the stump. 

Note: The stump grinder is a dangerous piece of equipment. Please remember to always stand behind the machine and use protective eyewear when operating the stump grinder. Safety is the most critical part of any successful stump grinder rental.

"I had a great experience with Wards Equipment Rental. The rental process was quick and easy, and both pickup and drop-off were smooth and hassle-free. The staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful. Everything went exactly as it should. Highly recommend Wards Equipment Rental for quality equipment and excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be renting from them again!"

"I have rented a couple times from Ward's including a rental that required delivery/pickup. Each time they were professional, punctual, and practical. They showed me the specifics of the equipment and are the best I have found in regards to fuel cost policies. The rental costs are very competitive and they are now my first place to check for rental equipment."

Jason Kubacki

May 2026

"I would highly recommend you call Ward's Equipment Rental first for all of your rental needs. Staff is fantastic and their equipment is light years better than the other rental places in the area. Prices are better in most instances as well. Front desk staff works very hard to get you what you need, when you need it and for how long you need it. Give them a call. Wood chippers get busy, so call ahead."
