How would you remove this stump?

Nitroglycerin

Lost a big Oak last week. No Turkey's were hurt in the filming of the damage.



All fixed.

I didn't even watch the vid yet.... that's an awesome Bronco .

Byron and I would have had Shaun's stump out already too... but it would have taken me a lot longer!

[RWebb]

I wonder if the new Bronco will do that?

[wdfifteen]

That was a really rotten old stump.

[porsche930dude]

Yeah it was but the 8274 is a beast of a winch. I used that method once with a triangle built of wood to get post hole footings out of the ground it worked great

Yes sir we would have. BTW, next time you are in jax.

Fun weekend, back to work

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Best $300 ever spent. If I had known how big his grinder was I wouldn't have cut it down. Too much work for a little 16" saw and the locust wood eats chains.

It took literally 20 minutes to get it off the trailer and then demolish, annihilate, obliterate the stump and 5 minutes to get it back on. Machine was remove controlled.

I don’t know if the grinders come in sizes, but I watched a guy use one to remove a stump once. It was amazing how fast it swept side to side and ate it up.

[KFC911]

That grinder is a freakin' beast!

^What he said! Was there a spotter so the operator would not go too far?

Has this topic ground to a halt?

[Shaun @ Tru6]

No spotter, we were both about 10 feet away. So glad the plans changed since I started this thread. Would have taken way too much time to remove it without taking everything else down.

Roots were fun to remove with a 1500 lb winch. Snapped the cable twice though.

[Baz]

Thanks for the followup and pics. I love stuff like this!

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Next I have to get some of that Tordon RTU you posted Baz. Any roots I can't get out I need to make sure are killed. Don't need anything growing back.

[daepp]

Glad you got it done.

And might I add that's the biggest stump grinder I've ever seen. All I've ever seen here are walk-behind models.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

single pour foundation and slab. turned out nicely. wait 10 days and then the fun begins.

[Scott Douglas]

Is that sunken area for a lift?

Kind of surprised there aren't any expansion cuts in that 'crete.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Hi Scott, yes, to make painting rockers and wheel wells easier. Also for doing light, non-greasy mechanical work.

The PVC runs through the concrete to the lift so I can mount the controls on the wall and not trip over the hydraulic lines.
