I for one would like to see the hole that made ... I have found that removing large stumps with a FEL is kinda like brushing one's teeth with a Shop broom.

While it DOES beat a shovel and 2 arms, that's ALL it beats.

Here's the hole. I used the backhoe, a limbsaw on a pole for some of the tap roots, and I hate to say it, but a shovel. You can see a halogen light in the background running off of a Honda EU2000. The project went on after dark. Hadn't planned that.

So, now that you've dug out a stump, what do you think of the guys who say they dig out stumps in 20 minutes.

I'd estimate yours at about 4 1/2 hours, with you in the hole for at least 2 of them.

Close?

Better fill in that hole quickly before it swallows up the building next to it.:D

I would have to guess you have done this before! I think I can now shave 4 1/2 hours off the job by leaving the trees alone :).

more impressed that the building didn't get a hickey than the size of the stump (which IS pretty darned impressive)...
