Dirty Wood

[nbbt]

Reading this with interest, as I have some small stumps in the yard that get in the way of mowing that I need to remove. Cutting them down to ground level is going to be as hard on the chain as digging down and cutting the roots.

I'm going to have a few to remove soon as well. Thinking about setting up one of the saws with some .404 semi-chiz, and see how it does. Ideas/suggestions.

I have done the water wash before after shoveling, but usually don't want to wait for the puddle to disappear. More times than not the ax comes out about this time.

It may be Your camera, but that still looks kinda dull-ish?!

All You guys need is a old chain that You'd consider trashing under normal circumstances!
Clear the dirt around the stump under lawn level, then bore cut from the side of the stump angled/downward to the stumps mid section, repeat till it is cut all around.
Keep Your saws rpm's as low as You can, it will help reduce rapid dulling.
One old chain will usually remove one stump.
I have been doing it this way for decades.

I need a DCS 7901 badge like that. Shipping will be more than the cost of the decal though, nothing I can do about that short of eating the expense myself. :( I have three boxes that I need to ship to the US. Would shipping a simple envelope within the US be somewhat affordable?

Stump removal, the @Wilhelm way

Stump...I'd chip one spot clean, plunge, and run the saw all the way around with the chain pulling out.
