Hi, I need some help dealing with stumps after a tree is cut down. What do you all do about the stumps?
My friend/neighbor next door and I are clearing a trail between the two of us for walking and snowmobiles. Most of the trees are small; the biggest are only about 8".
After felling the trees, I have been trying to cut the stumps as level with the ground as possible, so we won't trip on them or wreck our snowmobiles.
As we all know chainsaws near the ground is never a good combination. Add to that the endless supply of rocks in Mass, and I have dulled a few chains already today. I have the attitude that the chains are cheap, in relative terms, but wonder if there is a better way.
What do you guys use when confronted with a similar situation? The area that I am talking about is very hilly and we don't dare try to bring the bobcat or his backhoe for fear of wrecking the machines or us...
Regards,
