Applications

Land Clearing: Roots, Stumps and Debris

WeiDong tub grinders reduce stumps, root balls, brush and mixed land-clearing debris close to where it is cleared, cutting hauling volume. The WD3600C crawler tub grinder (408 kW, 25–40 t/h typical) moves on soft, uneven ground by remote control; WD1690 horizontal grinders handle long trunks and whole trees.

What this application demands

  • Bulky, irregular feed

    Stumps and root balls feed best into an open tub; a hammer rotor tolerates impact and the soil carried on roots.

  • Soil and stone

    Soil-laden roots accelerate wear. Shaking, pre-sorting and inspection reduce wear cost and protect the rotor.

  • Rough ground

    Crawler chassis (WD3600C, WD1690C, WD1380C) move on unprepared ground and reposition as the clearing front advances.

  • Output use

    Ground roots and debris become boiler fuel, mulch or erosion-control cover; the screen is chosen for the outlet.

Land-clearing material arrives in every shape: root balls with soil, stumps, brush and whole stems. Processing it on site saves trucks and tipping fees, provided the machine matches the dominant feed and the ground.

Frequently asked questions

Tub grinder or horizontal grinder for land clearing?

Use a tub grinder when stumps and root balls dominate the feed and a horizontal grinder when long trunks, whole trees and brush dominate. Mixed sites sometimes use both.

Can WeiDong grinders handle tree stumps?

Yes. The 3600-series tub grinders are built for roots and stumps; send stump diameters and soil condition so the rotor and screen can be confirmed.
