W50S9H26QA022 – STUMP GRINDER ATTACHMENT
ACQUISITION OBJECTIVE
To acquire a high-torque, low-RPM stump grinder attachment capable of ef�iciently removing the large
number of stumps currently obstructing drivable paths essential for security checks and base operations. This
capability will signi�icantly increase the speed and effectiveness of stump-clearing efforts compared to the
existing equipment, while also enhancing overall safety for operators and bystanders during on-base
stump-grinding activities.
MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS REQUIREMENTS
Stump Grinder Attachment Must be compatible with Bobcat T250 and Bobcat 770 models currently owned
and operated by Volk Field Civil Engineering
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
• Bit Diameter - Minimum cutting wheel diameter of 32 inches.
• Hydraulic Flow - Must operate within a hydraulic �low range of 20–42 GPM, fully compatible with
the hydraulic output of Bobcat T250 and 770 skid-steer models.
• Operating Pressure - Capable of handling system pressures up to 4,250 PSI.
• Boring Depth - Able to achieve up to 20 inches of cutting depth in a single pass.
• Stump Capacity - Must grind stumps 8–28 inches in diameter in one pass.
• RPM Range - Operates at approximately 7–16 RPM to provide controlled, high-torque cutting.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
• Operating Weight - Attachment weight shall be no less than 1,350 lbs. to ensure stability and cutting
force.
• Mounting Interface - Must include a Universal Skid Steer / Compact Track Loader (SSL/CTL)
quick-attach interface integrated into the attachment body.
• Compatibility - Attachment must be fully compatible with Bobcat T250 and Bobcat 770 skid-steer
loaders without requiring modi�ication to the carrier equipment.
COMPONENT REQUIREMENTS
• Hydraulic Motor - Equipped with a 2-speed hydraulic motor to support variable torque and speed
operations.
• Cutting Blades - Cutting system shall use staggered AR500 steel blades, designed for low
maintenance and extended service life.
• Root and Soil Capability - Must effectively cut through feeder roots and operate in rocky or
compacted soil conditions.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• Operational Safety - Must minimize debris throw and ensure safe operation for personnel and
bystanders during stump-grinding activities.
• Low-RPM Safety - Low-RPM, high-torque operation required to reduce kickback, �lying debris, and
operator risk.
COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
• Must be fully compatible with Government-owned SSL/CTL platforms meeting the hydraulic and
mounting speci�ications listed above, including Bobcat T250 and Bobcat 770 models.
