Anybody ever try to remove (chip out) a stump using a chisel

Jump up a notch and buy a Bosch 35lb demo hammer or it's equivalent,
and a clay spade.

I still had to do some digging, but it severed 5-6" pine roots in
short order- and saved me a whole lot of digging when I could angle it
under the tree to cut the tap root.

I chopped the smaller roots with a sacrificial axe and a sharp maddox
depending on where I was standing in relation to the root.
