A CAT 963 could have done it (and buried it) in 2 minutes!

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

As long as these guys are having fun doing it, who cares if it took them forever and a day. I'm sure people would think I'm insane for some of the overly-ambitious tasks I've taken on with my "bigger" B.

No disrespect - I know there is a certain satisfaction of doing it yourself!!

And that's really the point.

:thumbsup: victory!! stump done and over with!! After cutting stump in half as much I could before hitting dirt, I ended up using bucket to crack it open. I was able to flip both halves unside down and use BH to scrape all the sticky clay off the bottom of stump and now its soo much lighter. The FEL could barely curl one half of stump, so ended up driving backwards all the way to resting place. The other half I could barely lift the stump few inches off the ground and take it to the final rest place.



The hole is now filled in and need to let it settle before planting grass. I am hoping we will get the rain on sunday help with settling of the dirt. I packed it down as much I could with every 6 inches of dirt I filled in.

Ok Dieznuts I get it - Didnt mean to spoil anyone's fun. Believe it or not I was actually so dumb when I first started buying equipment I didn't understand what each piece was designed for and I needed to get work done (building a house). In the end, I always say when you learn something the hard way, you REALLY learn it. Learned lots about equiment and spent tons of money trying to save money - Just trying to pas some of my learnings along - Not trying to ruin anyone's fun!

Radioman....

Is that an old Mac 10-10 in the background there in one of your pics? I have one my Dad bought in 1965 and that saw is as strong today as the day he brought it home. They truly dont make them like that anymore!!

Good job on the stump, its a real feeling of pride when you finally get it out of the ground!

Oh, I know you weren't. Just had to comment on your comment.
Don't take it personal.

Anyway I guess as long as everyone is posting stump stories, here's mine:

Plus a few hours of transport, unloading and reloading.

Wow. A backhoe bucket with factory paint still on it.

Sweet memories...
