I've got about 50 stumps and counting each weekend. Most are locust and mesquite. I'm trying the cheap way first to just kill the stumps. I cut the stumps low enough to get the bush hog over them, then chainsawed an X on the stump and sprayed them well with a mix of Tordon RTU cut with 50% diesel. We'll see. The Tordon was $10 a bottle at TSC as compared to what was suggested which is the Remedy which was allot more expensive.
We'll see if they die. Trying to cut them low is heck on my chainsaw blade. Catch a little dirt and it's just a matter of time before I start stretching and wearing out the chain.
I've got a few stumps that I sprayed and then piled allot of the tree's timber on top and I'm waiting to try and burn out the stump once it dries out a bit.
I think once I'm finished clearing the land I'm going to go ahead and rent the stump grinder from Home Depo for right at $100 for 24 hours and plan on keeping it running all day. Again, we'll see.
Once thing I've learned about locust and mesquite though. If there's a thorn on an acre of land, my tractor will find it. I've been a Slim pumping fool lately trying to keep tires up. :cry:

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
