Default How to remove a small tree

desgnr wrote:
I have a 6' tall evergreen tree i want to remove.
I used a circular saw to cut down the branches.
Right now it is about 2' high & i tried to dig the remaining part out.
I am getting nowhere because the roots look like 2" in diameter & the tree
wont budge when i push on it.
I can't get the saw under to cut the bottom off.
How can i remove it ?


A circular saw is really not a good idea because of kickback issues.

I have removed the stump and roots of small trees by exposing them and
putting a long pruning blade on the sawzall and using that to cut the
roots.
