Do a search for "stump pullers" and you will see a picture and description of what the early settlers used to pull stumps. My farm was heavily forested with huge white pine trees and after it was logged off the land was sold to farmers who cleared the land using, for the most part, stump pullers and also dynamite. If you can use dynamite, get the 40% grade (slower explosion, better cratering effect). Ammonium nitrate fertilizer is also good to provide a slow explosion with good cratering. I assume there are some severe restrictions on this type of activity now and you would have to get someone with an appropriate license. 40 years ago we bought our fuse, caps and explosives from the county highway dept. I've also had excellent results by soaking the stumps with waste oil and then burning them. The colder the weather the better they burn.
