Surely stumps like these never get done. By the time you add up what the stump needs to be no chance

 

some times customers just like them removed and will pay we very often spend longer getting the machine in than grinding

Remove the first and last fence panel ....attach a suitable rope to something substantial that extends from the first panel to the last and lower the grinder off that as needed . Hope this makes sense . We,ve lowered off our capstan many a time on bank work from two points ..... but many a time Ive only needed one anchor point .....

 

Lowering a stumpy off a portawrap is second nature to one of my trusted guys :001_smile:

If the soil is cleared away from the stump, could it be cut lower using a saw fitted with a hardened chain?

Then cut slots, high lift wedges boshed in to split it apart and also good old sharp mattock work.

It might be a days work for a healthy apprentice...

Just dig it oiut with a spade, pinch bar, pick and axe -removed many an elm stump that way back in the '80s! May take a day, and not fun in the winter, but a good work out.
