Fecon LLC, a manufacturer of heavy-duty site preparation attachments and forestry accessories, recently acquired Stumper Industries, which manufactures stump grinder attachments for mini and standard skid steers and compact track loaders, excavators and tractor applications.

The acquisition expands the landscaping and land maintenance solutions Fecon offers in the forestry mulching and vegetation management industries.

“We are excited to welcome Stumper into the Fecon family,” Fecon product development VP Jeff Stanley said. “After listening to our customers, dealers and the market, we recognized a need for a stump grinder that fits key Fecon attributes such as performance and durability with visibility, simplicity and versatility.”

The Stumper series features five quick-attach models compatible with compact to heavy-duty machinery. The attachments range from 22- to 36-inch cutting diameters with up to 12-inch cut depths per pass. The Stumper Grapple heavy-duty, multiuse tool attaches to mini skid steers to remove logs and debris from a jobsite.

“These stump grinder attachments are a great product extension to Fecon’s existing lineup of forestry attachments that provide our customers with a comprehensive solution for land maintenance needs,” Stanley said. “They add value to our customers’ existing machines by helping them do more with what they already have.”

The acquisition of Stumper’s stump grinders complements Fecon’s current line of mulching attachments and extends Fecon’s position in the forestry mulching and vegetation management industry.
