Why The Dosko 13 HP Compact Grinder Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a stump grinder, it's a purpose-built compact machine that gets through the gates and walkways that stop bulkier units cold.
The Dosko 337 specifically addresses the needs of landscapers and tree service professionals who regularly work backyard jobs with limited access, where a wider or heavier grinder simply can't reach the stump.
Real Access Where It Counts. At 300 lbs and a narrow frame, this grinder fits through paths, walkways, and gates that would stop a bulkier 400-plus pound unit. That access advantage means fewer jobs turned away and less time spent disassembling fences or removing gates just to reach a stump.
Built To Keep Running Clean
Cyclone air cleaner keeps debris and dust out of the engine for longer service life
Oil shutdown sensor protects the engine from damage during extended use
Unique side discharge frame keeps grindings away from the machine and the operator
Engineered For Extended Cutting Life
Greenteeth 700 Series teeth feature a concave dish cutting edge that shears rather than shreds
3-in-1 tooth system rotates in three 120-degree increments for a fresh cutting edge in minutes
Cutting capacity of 20" above grade and 16" below grade handles the vast majority of residential stumps
Real Savings
Narrow frame access eliminates the time and cost of removing fencing or gates to reach backyard stumps
Rotatable Greenteeth reduce the frequency and cost of full tooth replacement
Cyclone air cleaner reduces engine wear from dust and debris common on grinding jobs
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Landscapers and tree service professionals working backyard jobs with tight access can't afford a grinder too wide or too heavy to reach the stump. The Dosko 337 is built with a compact, lightweight frame and a long-lasting rotatable tooth system, so it gets through gates and walkways that stop bulkier machines. For anyone taking on backyard stump removal jobs, this is the grinder built to actually get to the job.
