Pulling Out A Stump With A Come-Along

in homesteading •  6 years ago 

That sounds like a good method. I was thinking about trying to burn em out. Someone said make a burn barrel. Cut both ends out. Sit it around stump, and burn your burn barrel as usual. That might be worth a try.

As long as stumps are pretty flush with the ground they are not such a big deal.

When life gives you stumps, make tabletops.

Burning them out can work really well or not at all depending on how moist it is. Fresh oak might as well be made out of stone if it is wet. White pine is the opposite. I lit a pine stump and it burned for days because of all the pitch in it.

Best to dig out as much soil as possible from around the stump and let is dry for a long time before you try to burn it out. A gallon of diesel might help, too.
