Geez come to think of it I have had my share of windthrow that
could have used this technique as well. Skip the pwr washer and
the sore shoulder and elbows from swinging an axe and twisting
the pry bar.
am I as dumb as I look:stooges: i'm in the middle
Precisely. get the debris out of the way quickly, effeciently and with control
a chainsaw does this in a way that is also fairly inexpensive. No compressor for the air spade and minor addition to the process/change over from an expendable bar and chain.
In the vid you will see me shaving right...
Cutters are well rounded and the rakers seems to me to prevent penetration.
That is how I got to put the chain on backwards, to take a bigger bite.
I think the next one I do if the stump is large and warrants it I will
use the angle grinder to square the edge.
Centrifugal force rejects the majority of the debris so its no biggie imo
Even if I had a big adze stump grinder i would still bury it in the dirt.
Probabley half as much debris produced/dirt and the like mixed with wood grindings
thats just my experience so far.
Considering the work we do we...
Just making use of the tools at hand.
Tried the SawsAll, blades break and at few bucks a piece and another
tool to cart around not much savings.
IF they built a task specific tool I might buy one.
Many times we need only to cut a few of the root flares to get it to
tip over but that is another...
Whats old is new again, hard to be an original.
I don't own a stump grinder and have gotten pretty good of ripping them out of the ground.
That is how I stumbled upon the digger aspect.
Watch out for the KICKBACK it will take your head off. Solid footing and be sure to bury the tip and
avoid...
Ain't that the way! What was once old is new again. Hard to be original.
I stumbled on this digging out stumps and dulling chain and being so PO'd
and just pushing it through the dirt and roots to finally see that it was fairing well as
a digger and figured to the chain backwards to get more...
After a few HOPCITY Brewing Cos Barking Squirrel there isn't much I'm afraid of
cept
maybe those size 13 Boots Nick sporting in his Avatar looks like a helluva a reach.
Its not as bad on the parts as you might think.
Centrifugal force keeps most of the debris from the pwer house
so if you got an old bar and chain and willing to sacrifice a sprocket you can really
carve out the dirt and rock from well into the sinus of the root flares.
Carve a bit and backpack...
At it again, what do you think?
Put em on backwards and turn your saw into a digger to clear the debris away for the stump cut!
I have done it plenty of times and the only issue I see the grit wearing things a bit more quickly.
