I had a little tussle with a stump today, and so far the stump won.
I started with just the bucket, but quickly switched to the home made
"Shovel" to get between the large roots this tree had and dig down
beside them to be able to cut the roots. I ran out of time and energy.
With the stump still standing and the tractor unable to pull it over.
The dirt was bone dry which does not help. I can either keep cutting,
or add more water, or wait for a good all night rain. The front yard
now looks like "someone has been testing missile's" to borrow a line from
an old Tom Hanks/Shelly Long movie. This war is not over yet. Pix and
Vid's below.
