In Reply to: how to get stumps out posted by jr ford on September 28, 2009 at 16:21:17:
jr, I tried removing this old willow stump a few weeks ago.The stump been dead over 10 years now. I drilled holes an poured stump remover liqiud and tried kerosene & fuel oil even tryed charcoal. Seem the more stuff I tryed the harder the stump got. I tried to get a few people I new that had a backholes to dig it out but most of them won't bother just to do one stump.
I took my 880 with blade and dug around the stump as much as I could. But the deeper I went the dryer it got. I used a sub-soiler to help break the ground up several times. We haven't had much rain this summer and being clay ground like digging concrete. I must of dug down 2 1/2 to 3' until I hit my telephone cable. I would'nt of thought the line would of been that close to the stump by looking at the Telephone post at the ditch side and eye balling it toward the house. I figured it was 5 feet away from the stump. I was wrong when they put it in 40 years ago the operator had to been blind or just walked out of the bar? Cause the line curved like a horse shoe from the road to the house.
Safe side call (miss dig) cause you never know!
After hitting the phone line I still couldn't get the stump broke loose so I took a 3-pt post hole digger and the best I could; drilled a few holes around it.
I got the stump out and had five foot of the cable came out with it as one root grew thru it. Mike

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
