Before and After

[MowerMike]

It took thirteen 40 lb bags of fill dirt plus one 40 lb bag of Scotts Miracle Grow topsoil and a liberal amount of perennial rye grass seed. I used a sledge hammer, crowbar and chainsaw to break up and remove the mostly rotted stump, which weighed about 200 pounds. A few years ago a feral cat had a litter inside it.

Nice work! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
You should invest in a stump grinder if you are going to do that often.

those stump grinders are awesome. it sucks when they kick back at you though like if you tilt the blade the wrong way.

I wouldn't know...I have never used one. :frown: :laughing::laughing:
But if you had a Ventrac with the stump grinder attachment it would eliminate the kickback problem! :licking::licking: I should stop dreaming! :laughing:

I doff my hat sir. Stupendous job. Nice fence by the way. Nice touch with the ryegrass. To bad about the cat. She will find a new place no doubt. P.S. Next time lets see the tools of the trade please.

Nice work, I usually burn stumps out if no burn ban, it is a lot easier to do.

Outdoor burning around here is strictly verboten. Very high fire danger. Also, this stump was too close to a nearby tree and wooden fence, not to mention the house.
