Barreto STUMP GRINDER

Why Barreto?

The latest additions to the Barreto Tree Care Family are the new 13SGH and 16SGB stump grinders. The stump grinder’s unique design pivots over the center line of the wheels, allowing the grinding head to sweep easily across the stump while the wheel base remains stationary. Engine options include the Honda GX390 or the 16hp Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-Twin. The innovative design and compact stature of this stump grinder makes it ideal for tight access areas. The swivel head has a swing arc of 35˚ and the cutting wheel has eight carbide green teeth with three cutting surfaces. Free-wheeling hubs facilitate easy travel to the jobsite, while the independent wheel locks allow for easy locking while grinding.

The height of the 13SGH/16SGB operator control handlebar can be easily adjusted to suit both the operator and the grinding situation. The cutter wheel is operated by the handlebar-mounted safety bale and fully-throttled engine. The handle bale acts as a secondary safety switch to prevent accidents. The operator uses the handlebars to manually control the head swing and depth of cut.

With a unique design that provides limited need for maintenance and repair, these stump grinders will remain in the field getting the job done instead of tying up your revenue and mechanic. Because Barreto stump grinders are reliable in difficult conditions, customer satisfaction is high.

When it comes to land clearing, landscaping, or construction preparation, removing tree stumps is a critical step. Enter the Barreto Stump Grinder, a top-tier machine engineered for heavy-duty performance, user safety, and long-term durability. Whether you're a seasoned contractor, a tree care professional, or a property manager, investing in a Barreto stump grinder offers unmatched efficiency in grinding even the most stubborn stumps down to mulch.

We'll break down the key features, benefits, models, and reasons why the Barreto stump grinder is considered one of the most reliable and high-performing stump grinding solutions on the market.

What Is a Barreto Stump Grinder?

A Barreto stump grinder is a specialized landscaping machine designed to remove tree stumps by grinding them into small wood chips below ground level. Manufactured by Barreto Manufacturing, Inc., a trusted name in the outdoor power equipment industry, these machines are known for their innovative design, easy operation, and rugged build quality.

Barreto offers stump grinders in both track and wheeled configurations, allowing users to choose based on terrain and specific project needs.

Key Features of Barreto Stump Grinders

Barreto stump grinders are engineered to deliver optimal performance, safety, and ease of use. Here are some of the top features that set them apart from other stump grinders on the market:

1. Hydraulic-Driven Cutter Wheel

Unlike traditional belt-driven stump grinders, Barreto uses a fully hydraulic system. This eliminates common belt issues such as slipping, stretching, or breaking, reducing maintenance time and costs significantly.

2. Track or Wheel Options

Barreto stump grinders are available in both track-driven and wheeled models, providing versatility depending on terrain. Tracks offer better traction and stability on uneven or soft ground, while wheels provide faster mobility on flat terrain.

3. Powerful Engines

Barreto stump grinders are equipped with reliable Honda, Kohler, or Vanguard commercial engines, typically ranging from 13 HP to 31 HP depending on the model. These engines ensure high torque and smooth operation in tough conditions.

4. Adjustable Control Handles

Operator comfort and control are essential for safety and efficiency. Barreto designs its machines with pivoting control handles that adjust to suit operator height and visibility, reducing fatigue and improving maneuverability.

5. Compact Yet Durable Design

Barreto stump grinders are compact enough to navigate tight spaces like backyard gates or dense urban landscapes, yet built with heavy-duty steel frames for maximum durability and stability.

6. Safety Features

From operator presence controls to robust debris shields, Barreto prioritizes safety with every component. Their machines are designed to minimize kickback and ensure full operator control during operation.
