Stump Removal

Just was wondered what extraordinary ways people have of removing stumps.

I've got to get 4 small coni stumps out and they're on a walled bed which has shrubs and the customer doesn't want a grinder in there. Ye I can dig them out but what about using a farm jack or 4x4 to pull them out or a winch?

Willow should be pretty easy. The worst grinding job I've done was a 6' Elm. Took me all day with a blunt old vermeer I think...... Dead cherry is a swine too.
