I'm gonna say that will weigh more like 10 ton with all that soil. The roots and stump on their own would weigh about 2 ton.

Jet wash or knock some of the soil off then stump grinder.

 

Or look at the 'Anyone seen one of these' thread that Al McCormack started earlier. Very cool.

yeah maybe 2 tons is little low...but def not 10 tons.

 

i think the stump grinding idea would be cheapest for sure. could get a tractor to drag it out but need something to lift it onto the trailer..and access in via a field.

 

Well post pics of the cutting up part...the tree is a monster.

price for tree and builders sort the stump:thumbup:

got a really big storm damaged beech to cut up and the stump is going to be in the way for builders that are coming to fix a retaining wall..so need to be moved.

 

Its a massive stump and i reckon it will weight 2 tons. Access in bad so no crane.

 

Any ideas?

 

Master of the understatement Mate!

 

Tie it to the back of Tim Craigs wee Suzuki when he's not looking and laugh as he drags it off down the road with his music turned up full chat.

Do you think a mulcher could handle a stump that big? Don't know much about them but from what i know they are good for site clearance on small / med trees.?

jcb,dig a big hole and bury the stump arse up!

[slasherscot]

do that stump and tree no problem, helps if u knew the driver
