Revised ideas on pulling a stump with JD B-pics

Well, after reading the comments and ideas, I have gone in a different direction with the stump. Thanks for all the suggestions.
I had a couple of old rims in the iron pile and decided to build a fire in them to concentrate the fire and burn up the stump.

Since I was doing one, I decided to do the other another on in the same area.

Time will tell how this works.

To keep it on topic, here's another of my 1949 B.

I would say you are on the right track. I would burn, then clean the ash and debris away, then repeat, till stumps are gone.
 
soder33, When I burnt them out I used the circle type rims off old tractors. They are just a circle, with no center, that is big enought to fit clear over the whole stump. I am not sure how the car/truck/implement rims you are using will work. It does look like you have a good hot fire. Let us know how it goes.
 
When I started playing with dynamite at the ripe old age of 16 or 17 it was because of a friend trying to pull stumps with a JD tractor, I went to see him and he had the tractor hooked up to one, when he hit the end of the chain the JD stood straight up before he could grab the hand clutch..I went to town and got dynamite and removed his stumps the fun way. A couple years later he was found dead with his JD on top of him..
 
Forgot to say these are old cut down rims, so there is no center in them. The coals sit right on the stump.
 
It should work fine then. As I posted before. I have done this for many years. Only ones I ever had any issues with where wet sycamore. They wicked up so much water that they would not burn the first year.
 
Be careful. Years ago, my Dad lit fires over some pine stumps on our land in the Fall of the year. The fires burned the parts of the stumps you could see real well within a couple of days, and we didn't think much more about it.

The next Spring we had a brush fire in that area and it burned about 5 acres of forest duff. Apparently the fires had burned all Winter underground, following buried roots. When we got the slow moving fire stopped, we could see places where the fire had erupted from underground at least 50 feet from where the stumps had been. Digging up the trails showed stuff that looked kind of like the material in bricks, baked by the root fires. We never tried burning out stumps again!
