Fecon Compact STUMPEX | Model SHX12 | Bit 12" | Up To 3,250 lbs | 10–20 GPM | For Compact Utility Loaders & Mini Skid Steer
DESCRIPTION
The Fecon Compact STUMPEX SHX12 is a high-performance stump grinder attachment engineered for compact utility loaders and mini skid steers requiring efficient, controlled stump removal. Its 12-inch high-torque, low-RPM grinding bit uses durable 1/2-inch AR500 steel cutting blades to grind stump and root material with minimal discharge and reduced cleanup. The open-frame design promotes unrestricted material flow, while the slow-rotation auger action creates a safer work zone with no high-speed flying debris. Requiring only 10–20 GPM hydraulic flow and up to 3,000 PSI, the Compact STUMPEX is ideal for tree care, land clearing, stump grinding contractors, and municipal applications. With no case drain required, carrier-specific hoses and couplers, and common industry mounts, this low-maintenance attachment delivers dependable productivity across a wide range of wood species.
Key Features
High-Torque Low-RPM Bit The high-torque, low-RPM grinding bit delivers controlled stump removal while minimizing material discharge. This design helps create a cleaner work area than conventional high-speed stump grinders and supports efficient operation on compact utility loaders.
Durable AR500 Steel Blades Built with 1/2-inch AR500 steel cutting blades, the STUMPEX is designed for demanding stump-grinding applications. The hardened cutting components provide durability and help the attachment maintain productive performance when working through tough wood and challenging ground conditions.
12-Inch Grinding Capacity The 12-inch bit diameter enables efficient stump and root grinding in a compact attachment package. Its threaded cone and staggered cutting blades help break down stump material effectively while supporting productive single-pass grinding of appropriately sized stumps.
Safer Work Zone The slow-rotation grinding action helps reduce high-speed flying debris associated with conventional stump grinding. This controlled operation supports a safer, more manageable work area while helping operators maintain better visibility around the attachment during stump removal tasks.
Open-Frame Design The open-frame construction allows unrestricted material flow around the grinding area. This helps reduce material buildup and promotes efficient discharge, making cleanup easier while supporting consistent stump grinding performance in tree care and land-clearing applications.
Low Maintenance Operation The Compact STUMPEX is engineered for simplified maintenance with durable cutting components and a straightforward mechanical design. No carbide tools are required to replace, helping reduce routine maintenance demands and supporting more productive attachment use.
10–20 GPM Hydraulic Flow Designed for compact carriers, the STUMPEX operates with 10–20 GPM hydraulic flow and up to 3,000 PSI maximum pressure. This makes it well suited for compact utility loaders and mini skid steer platforms within the specified carrier class.
No Case Drain Required The attachment does not require a case drain, simplifying hydraulic connection requirements on compatible carriers. This can help streamline installation and reduce setup complexity for contractors operating compact utility loaders with suitable auxiliary hydraulic systems.
Compact Carrier Compatibility The SHX12 is designed for compact utility loaders up to 3,250 lbs, making it a practical stump-grinding solution where a larger machine may not be suitable. Common industry interfaces help support compatibility across multiple compact carrier platforms.
Minimal Material Discharge The threaded cone and staggered AR500 cutting blades grind stump and root material with minimal discharge. Reduced material throw can help limit cleanup requirements and improve jobsite control during residential, municipal, landscaping, and tree-care stump removal.
Works Across Wood Species The STUMPEX is engineered to grind any species of wood, providing versatility for contractors handling varied stump-removal projects. Its durable cutting system and controlled low-RPM action make it suitable for routine stump and root grinding applications.
High Productivity Design The Compact STUMPEX can complete stump-grinding work in a fraction of the work time compared with conventional stumpers in suitable applications. Its efficient grinding action helps contractors improve jobsite productivity and move more quickly between stump-removal tasks.
Carrier-Specific Hydraulics The attachment is supplied with carrier-specific hydraulic hoses and couplers when the correct carrier model is specified. This helps ensure the hydraulic connection is matched to the selected machine and supports efficient setup for compatible compact loader platforms.
Common Industry Mounts Common industry interfaces make the SHX12 adaptable to widely used compact utility loader configurations. When ordering, the carrier model should be identified so the correct mount, hydraulic hoses, and quick couplers can be configured for the application.
400-Pound Attachment With a 400 lb operating weight, the Compact STUMPEX provides a compact stump-grinding solution for appropriately rated utility loaders. Its manageable attachment size combines mobility with productive grinding capability for contractors working in confined or access-sensitive areas.

I've started using the mulcher I on several parcels of land 10 acres . I have grind down a couple of 14 inch stumps. Caution the mount bracket behind the mulcher motor exhaust gets extremely hot even with gloves on . But the unit so far seems to works very good it's well put together.
The Firminator G3 is s heavy duty quality machine. The discs worked extremely well and planting and culti-packing is very smooth and easy. Working with Dillon at Ripping It Outdoors was a very good experience and seamless transaction.
After spending way to much money for forest mulching services I discovered this wonderful machine. It's not a giant powerhouse forest mulcher, but it does everything a property owner needs to maintain a forested property. I wish I would have found it sooner.
The Firminator is well built and functions well. I am having some trouble while planting mixed size seeds. Next time out I’ll try setting it so only the smaller seeds drop out the open it up for the larger seeds.
easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.
Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.
My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now.
I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on.
I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.
Great piece of equipment. Performs far better than I expected. One piece of advice - if property is significantly overgrown, consider the tractor attachment first to bring down the over growth and then switch to the UTV attachment to maintain property. No complaints worked perfectly.
Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!
TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks
Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!
These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs.
I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again.
Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors. Fortunately I got Dillion as a representative and everything from sales to shipping was spot on..
Thanks Dillion for your help!!
The only thing is when hooking up the actuator on my ATV. The wire is long going to the plug in. What has happened in the past about this. Is their video showing the usage of the control?
