The invention comprises a device (10) and a method for handling stumps. The device for handling stumps (10) comprises a frame (3) and, attached thereto, coupling means (37) for coupling the handling device to a work machine, a rotator (11) for turning the handling device in relation to a work machine, first gripping means (1) for gripping a stump, first cutting means (21) that are arranged at a distance from the first gripping means as well as power means (5, 25) for directing operating power from outside the handling device to the first gripping means and to the first cutting means. In the method, a stump is gripped by the gripping means (1, 1') of the handling device, and parts of the root that are meant to be removed from the stump, are cut by means of a cutting blade (38) in the handling device (10). After that, the part of the stump held by the gripping means (1, 1') of the handling device is transferred to a stump transport device.
