On the farm we had a 24hp gas powered tow-able unit. Awesome workhorse that would really build up your stamina.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />  We used it all the time the first year clearing a section of pasture and it paid for itself. After that with less frequent use maintenance time and costs increased. Went to a PTO unit which removed the engine and belts servicing but you need a tractor. Now using a stump bucket with grapple and recommend it for a skid steer, simple and effective.For a stand alone unit you have teeth, belts and engine maintenance to add to the cost. Those seemed to be the things always needing service. If you want to work at a slower pace owning makes that possible. If you are able to prep a bunch that you can rent for a few days, clear and be done renting may be the better choice. I'm not aware of any electric powered stump grinders (electric start yes).</blockquote>
