Alcoblog Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 This actually a fairly serious question for me! I have tree stumps and I want to get rid of them! (silly replies are more than welcome though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 If you mean "easiest" it's a digger. If you mean "at any price" it's a digger. If you mean "quickest" it's a digger. If you want "cheap", it's a spade, and lots of time and pain. I've removed more stumps than your average person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I'm no expert on removing tree stumps, but I can confidently state that trying to gnaw it out with your own teeth would be a better idea than using hydrofluoric acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i was on facebook, and that was a post there, i'd hit the like button. Alco, rule of thumb is the canopy will mirror the root structure.

Harleyman Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 And last time i tried to hire one no Sheffield shop had one, nearest was Rotherham. Expensive too. Another method. Using a large wood drill (3/4 inch) bore several holes at the top of the stump and fill with radiator coolant which I read is very effective in deterioting the wood. There's also the trusted chain saw, one with enough guts that can cut down vertically through the stump in slices. I used one to get rid of a dying plum tree and the stump with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
