Had some trees taken out a few years ago. This is a big leaf maple stump.





Here it is after we got it out of the hole.



Mike is about 5'10" I'd guess.

Was a bitch to get out.



Got a bigger one (fir) that I mostly done digging. Lost a tooth of the bucket and had to stop.

Do that often. It's fun.

I assumed that you were directing the question to amputees.

Just be glad you have the little digging machine.

Pine tree stumps are not fun even in MS.mud.

But sometimes there is some good figure in the stump wood for projects.

This stump is crotch wood. Might be nice. But it's going to be made into hog fuel.

If at all possible you’re a bunch of time and effort ahead to push the tree over whole, dig the dirt off the rootball and then cut the stump.

Does this stump count?

Mu recent stump, missing three in the middle

Doh!

No tree, it left a hole.

This looks like what we call dirt around here! Somebody wrote a book about our County titled Two Stones for Every Dirt.

I hired this guy to take care of my stumps.

I had an old spruce kick my butt in Alaska. The neighbors named it "nemesis", lol.

Stumpin' 4 Trump.

WTF did you do?

You have a good sense of humor Irving.

I reckoned it was a callout thread to 'Flave trying to get him to show his "junk"

I like his attitude, ain't no use sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself, get on with it.

+ one more regarding the great attitude!

Also, you may have saved somebody's life or at least some of their digits by your posts!

The video of the tractor-mounted saw sure made an impression on me! <shiver!>

Moving to Hawaii?

Bad joke, Sorry. I split my index finger, and mangled my thumb pad with a tablesaw when I was 12. Not fun but I’m grateful to still have them.

The big one. Took all day.

One of my best friends asked if he call me mittens when. I was still in the medical, I have a thick skin and a dark sense of humor no offense taken

Long story short buzz saw, I started a thread story

Spruce aren't bad. Shallow roots. Those white-barked things, on the other hand, can be a real birch.

Steve,

I thought you were talking about stumps? Real stumps?

Got the tree down this far and had this guy grind the stump.
