Removing a tree stump is often just the first step in preparing land for its next use. Once the visible stump is gone, remaining wood below the surface, loose chips, and disturbed soil can still stand in the way of backfilling, leveling, reseeding, landscaping, or future development.
For landowners, farmers, landscapers, and property maintenance professionals who already operate a compact or utility tractor, a PTO-driven stump grinder offers a practical way to handle stump removal without bringing in a separate self-powered machine.
TMG Industrial offers several stump grinder configurations for tractors, excavators, skid steers, and walk-behind applications. One of the latest options for tractor owners is the TMG-TSGB24 3-Point PTO Stump Grinder, designed for everyday land-clearing and property maintenance work.
TMG-TSGB24 3-Point PTO Stump Grinder
The TMG-TSGB24 is built for compact and utility tractors equipped with a Category 1 three-point hitch and a standard 540 RPM PTO.
Its 24" cutting wheel is fitted with 34 tungsten carbide teeth, providing aggressive grinding performance through tree stumps and exposed roots. Rather than relying on a separate engine, the attachment uses the tractor's PTO system to transfer power directly to the cutting wheel.
A PTO shaft is included, making the grinder a straightforward addition for compatible tractor setups.
Grind Up to 6" Below Ground Level
One of the key features of the TMG-TSGB24 is its ability to grind up to 6" below ground level.
Cutting below the surrounding surface helps reduce the remaining stump structure so the area can move more easily into the next stage of site preparation. After grinding, operators can backfill the depression, level the surrounding ground, add topsoil, reseed, or prepare the area for other landscaping or development work.
Designed for 20-50 HP Tractors
The TMG-TSGB24 is designed for tractors ranging from 20 to 50 HP, making it suitable for many compact and utility tractor setups commonly used on farms, acreages, rural properties, and landscaping projects.
Its Category 1 three-point hitch provides a secure connection to compatible tractors, while the 540 RPM PTO delivers power to the cutting system.
For operators who already have a suitable tractor, this setup provides a convenient way to add stump-grinding capability without maintaining and transporting another self-powered machine.
24" Cutting Wheel with 34 Carbide Teeth
At the center of the TMG-TSGB24 is a 24" cutting wheel equipped with 34 tungsten carbide teeth.
The carbide teeth are designed to withstand repeated contact with tough wood while delivering the cutting action needed to gradually reduce the stump below the surrounding ground level.
The large cutting wheel also provides the reach needed to work across the stump surface and exposed root material during the grinding process.
A Practical Option for Property and Land Maintenance
The TMG-TSGB24 is well suited for jobs where stump removal is part of a broader property maintenance or land-clearing project.
Potential applications include:
-
Removing unwanted stumps from farms and acreages
- Clearing areas for landscaping or reseeding
- Preparing ground for future property improvements
- Maintaining trails, fence lines, and rural properties
- Cleaning up after tree removal
- Reducing exposed stump and root material before additional site preparation
Once grinding is complete, wood chips and disturbed soil can be cleared or redistributed as appropriate before the area is backfilled and leveled.
Choosing the Right Stump Grinder
The TMG-TSGB24 is one option within TMG Industrial's broader stump grinder lineup.
For tractor operators who need different cutting capacities or tractor compatibility, models such as the TMG-TSG24 and TMG-TSG26 provide alternative configurations.
TMG Industrial also offers stump grinding solutions for other equipment platforms, including:
- TMG-ESG18 for excavators
- TMG-GSG9 and TMG-GSG12 walk-behind models
The right model depends on the equipment already available, the size and number of stumps being removed, required cutting depth, and the type of property being maintained.
Frequently Asked Questions

The TMG-TSGB24 is designed for compact and utility tractors in the 20-50 HP range. It connects through a Category 1 three-point hitch and operates with a standard 540 RPM PTO. Before use, confirm that your tractor meets the required hitch and PTO specifications.
2. How deep can the TMG-TSGB24 grind below ground level?
The TMG-TSGB24 can grind stumps up to 6" below ground level. This helps reduce the remaining stump below the surrounding surface so the area can be prepared for backfilling, leveling, reseeding, landscaping, or future development.
3. How do I know if the TMG-TSGB24 is the right stump grinder for my application?
The TMG-TSGB24 is a good fit for operators who already have a compatible 20-50 HP tractor and want a PTO-driven stump grinder for property maintenance, acreage work, landscaping, or land clearing. If you need a different cutting depth, tractor compatibility range, or a grinder for an excavator, skid steer, or walk-behind application, TMG Industrial also offers other stump grinder configurations.
