Stump Removal

[Backpain]

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?

Tirfor...

Your main concern will be the wall. My approach would be dig around and ease them out with a winch, easier to control than ripping it out with a 4WD.

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!).

Chainsaw them into a swedish candle and then use a splitting wedge to remove them root at a time.

Done afew jobs this year as above , what I do and it works for me is dig around them then use the blower to clear the soil cut what you see(soil saw) dig some more and rock the stump , this work well for me , if you leave the stump about 3 to 4 foot above ground BUT and there is always a but , the tap root it there belive me . I will be buying a tirfor year.Taking out all sizes up to 16/20".

Hope this help's you.

? on this note is willow roots easy to grind out , job on Monday and Tuesday 5ft wide.

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.
