Cutting tree stumps

[Cracker Boy]

Why is cutting stumps so hard on a saw?is it the dirt that grows into the tree close to ground level.is it the dirt and fines that gets blown around into your saw.is it the heat thats generated so cloe to the ground and repelling back up? Is it because some dont wedge the stump while cutting to keep weight off bar?is it because tree is harder closer to ground? Im corious

Yes, plus you’re crouched while every one of those is happening, plus the exhaust bouncing off the stump back at you and your saw

Pretty much yes to all of the above. Smaller chains get dull quick and the saw will overheat from revving higher for too long. The hot chain will eventually cook the clutch drum until it gets the crankshaft hot enough to melt the plastic oiler gears.
Sprockets on bar tips don't last very long.

Not for sure. I bought super nice striper jigs from him a few yrs back.
He was Kool & the Gang with me.
