Anybody ever try to remove (chip out) a stump using a chisel
attachment and a hammer drill in the hammer mode? (I've been looking for an excuse to buy one of these and wondering if this is my chance) Tim |

(I've been looking for an excuse to buy one of these and wondering if this is my chance) Jump up a notch and buy a Bosch 35lb demo hammer or it's equivalent, and a clay spade. http://bosch.cpotools.com/hammers_an...11335k-rt.html [$800 reconditioned] 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. Jim |

That's the guy- and though I remember 'ax handles', too, it seems they were pick handles, so even closer to a mattock- http://www.southerncurrents.com/misc/maddox_r.htm . Jim |

Hey, that's a super duper idea. For stump removal, sawzall
and a LOT of blades is the way to go. Cut the tree as high as you can, so you've got a lot of trunk to pull on. And then use a chain and pull it out with the truck. Or come along tool to the trailer hitch. Farther out in the country, drill a bunch of holes, soak the stump with kerosene and burn it out. -- Christopher A.

I've had several stumps. Wouldn't risk damaging a chain saw or
Sawzall, but I drilled several 1" holes deep into the stump and keep them filled with 34-0-0, nitrogen fertilizer. After 2-4 years, depending on the stump size, I easily take out the remains with an axe. |

Ok, another idea: what about using a circular saw to cut the stump
into bite-size pieces that can be hammered off? Will the dirt dull a circular saw blade in the same way it dulls a chain on a chain saw? |

I'm thinking termites.
But if not, at least cut into the face of the stump so it holds rain water and rots faster. |

Yes, it will. Also the circle saw doesn't make a deep enough
cut. The last time I took out a tree, I needed all the length of blade I could get. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. wrote in message ...

There is a product that you can pour on it that rots the stump out. Dont remember what it is. Just use Google. Ive also heard of some of the country fellows drilling several holes in then and pouring kerosene and oil in them. Let it soak in for a few days and then light it. Not a good idea though if you live in the city limits. Bubba Saltpetre, its a strong oxidizer that breaks down the wood. I works but results are slow. I saw my dad do it years ago and think it took a couple of years. Jimmie |

Do not expect a quick result. In my experience, it has required two or three years before I was eager to attack the residue. |

Here is what I did: Used a circular saw to cut a checkerboard pattern in the top surface. Blade depth about 2-3 inches. Then I took a BFH to it and pounded out the squares. Repeat. When I got low enough, I used a sawzall to cut the remaining roots. Worked very well. Tim |

Sorry, the circular will offer only minimal success. Yes, you can saw to a shallow depth providing the stump wood is dry. The saw binds up in wet wood. The dirt will dull the blade.

I have thought about doing this exact thing as far as an improvement over what I do today. I shovel and axe one side of the tree roots and use a comealong to pull from another tree base. This uses the weight of the tree as it comes down as leverage as I cut more roots. usually comes over slowly. Axing the roots is the worst part so I was considering the bosch. I like the fact that it pulled the roots out with the tree. I have had 3 larger tree where the person left the wire basket when planting it 30 years ago and the dam thing is still in tack. Makes axing a pain. thought about adding a small winch with remote to make easier. You get faster and better after doing this a couple times. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...ll-356897-.htm |
