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.
The week before leaving for my mule deer hunt in Wyoming, I seeded the area surrounding the new runway at Wertheimer Airport in Norman.
This past Tuesday, I returned to finish the job and was pleased to see that the seed I planted just two weeks earlier was already germinating and coming up nicely.
These pictures show the freshly seeded areas alongside those planted two weeks ago. It’s a great comparison and a good example of what proper seedbed preparation and planting can accomplish.
I used my Ferminator G-3, which is one impressive piece of equipment. It prepares the seedbed, plants the seed, smooths the soil, and firms everything up for good seed-to-soil contact—all in one efficient operation.
I’ve owned and operated several no-till drills over the years, but I can say without hesitation that the Ferminator is the most efficient and versatile seeding machine I’ve ever owned.
There’s something pretty satisfying about returning to a job and seeing those first green shoots coming through the ground. That’s when you know your hard work is paying off!
Just got my Buffalo Turbine! Love it. Took a little bit to get used to getting the right angle for the nozzle, but not a problem. Side note, works much better if the frame is level as much as possible.
Love it!

Seems to be in order delivery wasn't able to use lift gate but tractor was able to take pallet off the truck bed. No damage to machine after visual check. won't know how it runs until rain stops.
Staff at RippingitOutdoors was very quick to call and double check the type of backet needed for the unit to ensure the online order matched( to fit my skid steer quick attachment on my l2501 Kubota). Explained the teeth & belt could be ordered through them directly over the phone when/if needed as well as selling other types of custom made brackets for Utv's ect. All around Great customer service and would purchase from again.
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.
seeds come out way to fast at lowest setting when planting alfalfa literally the only reason I bought it now I can't even use it and I can't return it so I'm stuck with it for the price you pay you would think it would work!
It’s built solid. It handles Field grass hip high pretty well. With the maintaining the field grass after the first cut, the pasture field is starting to look like a lawn. The 84 inch with the best thing to get for 8 acres. It’s best to order belts for back up in the event if the belts were to break. But overall, I like the product quality is good.
When I think of ripping it outdoors something else comes to mind, but I digress. This spreader is awesome. Works like a champ. The hopper is big enough to do my 1 acre lot for my applications. Just load once and go. I would highly recommend this spreader. It saves a ton of time and is a quality product.
