This seems to be a splendid invention, is it already available in US?

Interesting. Pretty big tractor to do that both for stability and HP though. I suppose a smaller unit might work but it would not be easy to "drill" large stumps with a small bit. They chose the perfect size stump to show off this particular type of stump grinder. Really much safer and quieter than other types of stump grinders though.
Here is a European press release: http://www.fwi.co.uk/Articles/05/03/2007/102065/Italian-rotor-stump-grinder.htm
They say it costs about 33,000 Euros ($40,000) and requires 125 horsepower.
