Actually most of them were uprooted with a big excavator. I have a few that are too big to even move far with my BX. That said I have dug a good number out with my BH. Does take some time. Not sure I have the answer but I do try to scrape and expose as many main roots. Then weaken them with a small chain saw if I have to. I also make sure I don't cut the tree too close to the ground so I have some leverage to to push or use a come along. Really need to make sure you have access all around them to dig all sides. Good luck... Don't know if that helps at all.
I was hoping for some kinda magic I guess. LOL Sadly the days of the magic stump removing dynamite are over.
And to think, people used to do this kinda stuff with horses and mules and I'm whining.
