Auger bit for stump removal? Really??

[grsthegreat]

Sorry, no way that screw would pull that thing thru a hard root. Heck, even my self feed wood bits dont really pull it thru wood.

I could see that working, after letting the stump rot for a decade.

I cant see how that would work. Theres no down pressure.

As others have said, maybe on a SSQA auger. There's no way I'd hook that up to my 3pth unit. What happens when it gets stuck and you can't reverse it?

The guy who did my tree work had an expensive stump auger for his CTL that he said he regretted buying because he said it was so slow.

They make special high TQ low speed hydraulic drive augers for these stump grinders.

They also make cone splitters. Perhaps one could knock the stump into small enough pieces that it would come out with other equipment.
