CAPn JACK HAMMER and the STUMP

Recommended Posts

We enjoy ripping stumps out of the ground opposed to grinding on occassion..

Save on the grinder rental and the time towing it around.:biggrin:

 

Helps to place wood/logs on the pull side to lift the stumps up off the ground so that you can knock the soil off and saw the stump to something more manageable. A few good stumpy tables may be in your future.

 

Anyone else use this technique?

 

Hard work that comes with great satisfaction.:thumbup:

Dig and chop to expose the flare/roots and then saw thru the larger roots.

We call that part "Gold Medal Round" !

that’s the old school method, have done it quite a few times on much bigger trees, however I don’t tend to cut the roots threw that close as it rather defeats the point of using the leverage to get them out as well!

 

Bottle jacks under the bigger rear roots also help ;)

Calculated risk or Hassle. Some stumps cooperate and some are best left for the grinder.

Pay off has been in my favour mb 90% of the time.

Little more cash in the pocket and bit more tired and sore is well worth it some days!:thumbup:

 

Easy ones always seem to be trees with girdling roots, leaning and softer woods.:biggrin:
