Stump Removal

[Backpain]

Tirfor winch need's good anchor to work at full pulling power. Any one tried them TERRASAUR Blade in a disc cutter?.

 

Not used one but have seen a 6" disc with a chainsaw chain wrapped round it....looks nasty. Might try and find one for my 9" cutter he he he!

How high?

 

We Tirfor a lot of stumps out, but you need a lever arm, or you're screwed.

 

Otherwise you can't get round the digging bit.

 

(let's not have the usual stuff about fores and explosives please lads!).

 

Hi Mark, I've not cut them yet so I can leave them as high as needed.

Thanks

What about a farm jack. Just watched some muppet on youtube lifting a stump out. Didn't show you the pain on his face though.

I use a combination of spades mattocks farm jacks and a winch if I can anchor it.

 

I avoid mini grinders as every time I've hired one it's been appalling.

Rob's said it all there, pretty much.

why don't they want a grinder in there?

 

There are grinders that will probably do less damage to the shrub bed than having to dig, axe and winch them out. Plus it will be a lot quicker and a hell of a lot easier on the back.

No dig, no grinder policy eh?

 

Sounds like a job for an eggcup full of fertiliser and diesel.

 

Each.

 

Stand well back, etc..

Naughty! Don't be surprised if you get a knock on the door later from Special Branch ( not the Arb firm, either!).

What ratio, and how do you light it

[Pedroski]

Tripod and winch, fencing spade, pick-axe. Often come out a lot easier than expected.
