A tree stump the size of Boeing engine core (3 cubic feet) is in a hole
we cannot get out. We dug dirt around the tree stump, cut all the
roots but not enough to get a manual saw comfortably in there. The
stump moves freely with no obstructions but too heavy for any men to
lift out of the hole.

Start stacking rocks under the stump. Use a heavy prybar to lift the
stump up an inch or so and then stuff more rocks in. It takes awhile
but I have moved rocks 2' in diameter up and out of a hole.
