It’s funny sometimes how we will spend hours of labor to save $200 but not blink at spending $1000 on a gun in minutes.
Just part of being a grown man I suppose. Priorities play a big part.

I had a guy come out years ago, did them for 25 bucks a stump. Sounds like you got a better deal. By five stumps ignoring inflation. How long ago?

I just had 15 trees dropped and the stumps ground to clear out for a building . A few were big cedars . I have about 5 yards of cedar mulch from the stumps .

I've been cutting trees on my place for 3 years. It would be nice to have a stump grinder handy but I just cut the stumps flush with the ground with a chainsaw. It's hard on the chains because it's impossible to do so without getting the chain in the dirt. But I've gotten very good at sharpening chains.

It's hard on the chains because it's impossible to do so without getting the chain in the dirt. But I've gotten very good at sharpening chains. Dig them out a ways, knock off the bark with an axe, and you avoid 90% of the dirt that dulls the chain. Even if you don't dig into the ground, still knock the bark off down near the ground before sawing. Makes a big difference.

That’s basically what I do with a shovel, axe and chainsaw.
once I have the roots cut off I use a hose to wash the dirt off the stump, then I cut it into quarters from the top with a chainsaw, and split it into 4 pieces using with wedges
