Toro STX-26 Stump Grinder Review

Stump removal can be a difficult project, but Toro cuts it down to size with the STX-26 stump grinder. The STX-26 is a pivot-head hydraulic system that runs on a gas motor. For its size, it's surprisingly powerful. Get the job done when dealing with even the hardest trees such as elm, cottonwood, aspen, oak and trees that hold a lot of water when they're green. The Kawasaki FX730 v-twin engine has plenty of power for moving the grinder at speeds up to 4mph, making quick work of tree stumps and leaving competitors in the dust. 

Power, Maneuverability, and Simplicity in a Stump Grinder.

While other stump grinders are cumbersome and complicated, the STX-26 makes it easy for you to get in and get the stump out. No other stump grinder comes close to the operator friendly design of the STX-26.

Track Design
It all starts with Toro's proven track system. There's no more worry about flat tires, maneuvering over rough terrain, getting stuck on job sites, weather delays, or even creating collateral damage. The tracks travel easily over muddy areas, with the low center of gravity adds side hill stability for access to any job, in any condition. Toro's STX-26 stump grinder will get you where you want to, when you want to, all with a ground pressure just under 4.5 PSI. Unlike competitors, the STX can turn on a dime, without disengaging a differential lock. The zero-turn capability, low center of gravity and large footprint of the tracks promotes safe transport of the equipment.

Size 
The Toro STX-26 stump grinder is 35" wide and easily fits through standard 36" gates. And since you comfortably operate from behind, you cruise through tight spaces no problem. The STX weighs in at 1200lb, heavy enough to provide a stable grinding base, but with a dispersed weight on the tracks to move over walkways and turf with minimal soil compression.

Traction Controls
The easy-to-use control system on the STX-26 stump grinder offers smooth operation and fewer lever/nobs than conventional stump grinders. Two simple controls operate all traction and grinder functions.

1) Left/right traction control (forward, reverse, turn)
2) Sweep, lift/lower and engagement of grinder head.

Offset Cutting Head
The offset cutting head is easy to operate and provides operator with excellent visibility to the stump. The 19" wheel with 12 Greenteeth cutting teeth can chew through the most stubborn stumps and allows full rotation perpendicular to the machine. It can rotate up to 90 degrees with a 47" arch, making it easy to place on stump near fences, walls and just about anywhere.

Have a stump cut a foot or two above the ground? Not a problem with the STX-26 stump grinder. The cutting head lifts up to 33" above grade to start the grind well above ground level. Then it grinds to a full 12.5 inches below grade, leaving an attractive, flat surface after filling.

The hydraulically-driven head also offers a built in break system. This safety feature stops the head within 3 seconds once the operator releases the joystick control.

Full Hydraulic Operation
Eliminate the labor of tightening or replacing expensive poly-chain® belts or clutches with the STX-26 stump grinder. Toro's unique, hydraulically driven head means no chance of expensive belts breaking or slipping no adjusting tension. With no belts to tighten, adjust or replace, the STX will operate at optimal performance time and time again.

The hydraulic system circulates 13.5 gallons of fluid per minute for an ultra-smooth power drive. The hydraulic drives for both transport and cutting are rugged and forgiving.

Don't just take our word for it.
