As you have read below every one has a differ'nt slant of things, here's mine.
Pulling stumps sucks. Hard on equipment, chains, and leaves a hole you gotta do some thing with.
Never used a Poulan saw, so I ain't gonna knock your saw. A chain should last better part of a day if you start with it good and sharp. If it was me, I'd cut the stumps off as close as you can with out get'n in the dirt and go on. Some people claim you can drill holes in the stump and fill'm with urea and they will rot out fast. I have been told that they also rot away real fast if you paint'm with a mixture of used motor oil and crossbow.
Don't drive over the stumps till they rot out some and get soft. 6" stump, 3" high cut flat should not cause too much trouble and you should be able to mow over pretty easy.
For your chain, as others said get a file and touch up any rough spots every time you fill up. I have never been good at sharping one, but I can do a little touch up work. There is a guy at the hardware store here that will sharp'n one for $3 and it is as good as new. I have 2 GOOD chains for both saws. I have to get all 4 chains sharp'ned 2 to 4 times a year.
