You are so correct with that statement. That is why I stress shopping around. I first attempted to remove them myself with an Allmand TLB. But this was truely a waste of time and money.

Again shop around get prices..

Also as stated in other posts, depending on what you want to do, you can rent a stump grinder or have someone come in a grind them.. There was a lad in my area that was grinding stumps for 10-25 dollars per stump depending on size and if he needed to cut the stump down with a chain saw. I watched him do some work on my neighbers property and he made it look easy.. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif )</font>

Where is this guy?
Send him here.
At 10 to 25 bucks a stump I have probably 30 of them for him.
Sure beats the 100 a stump price around here.

I haven't tried it myself, but I have heard of guys burning stumps out. Of course it would help if they were old stumps, and not fresh cut ones. In regards to using a dozer, instead of using the blade, would it work to pull the stump out with log chains? Maybe you wouldn't have to move so much earth that way? Just a question. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
