Sharp mattock and a rugby player. It'll cost some beer.

No-one can say there grinder would take it out in minutes (attached to
a tractor). (supposing you can get a tractor near the stumps).

Take your time and do it with a chisel as I have been doing. See
http://share.ovi.com/media/Muddymike...uddymike.10808 and the next two
shots. I think it was here I saw the idea a few days ago, it works quite
well.

As an aternative cut some slots into the top with a chainsaw and leave for
a year to rot ... that's what I've done with mine, and its worked. A lot
less faffing about than grinding.

Of course if they want the stump out now, they want it out now ... but they
do rot quickly.

All the best,

drill holes, and fit bangers.

Actually I burnt enough of a stump out by lighting fires on it and
digging away at the chaacoal..

A ****ing dangerous way to use a chainsaw, mind.

Depends how many sharp teeth on it.
Here's one I did earlier

No worry about the 2'9" gap this machine makes its own.

The little Dosko pedestrian controlled one costs about GBP250/day and will
take your stumps down to 250mm below ground in that less than that time.

Possibly quite a lot of beer ...

I take it you don't have flints in the New Forest:-)

Plenty of pebbles in Windsor Great Park, I didn't realise I was being filmed
and you will note I started slewing to have a crack at right angles but
realised someone was in line of fire, that machine could fling a shopping
trolley 50 metres and you'd burn your hands picking it out of the
mulchings.

The big machine doesn't mind flints, I had to clear a borehole site for
anglian water and the chalky brash was covered with flints the size of my
hand, afterwards it looked like slivers of glass strewn over the site.
