    Bobcat is a pretty powerful machine. This Maple was cut at the camp in winter for being to close to power line. The stump has grown into a vein of flat rock. This tree was anchored well. Need to get the two Maple stumps out today and get the yard prettied up.

    I could chain it to the front bucket and lift it out of there but I would like to have all the dirt left in the hole.

    First pic.

    Now the one in the back is gone and covered back up. This one in the front is going to be tricky. Large rock doesn't want to be picked up and pushed by bucket. Thinks he's a heavyweight. And to the left and coming up underneath me is where I buried the power line to go to the pole at parking lot for light.

    Second pic. Come along now little Timmy.

    You could probably roll that rock towards the tractor with the hoe. Just reach over the back and flip it. Repeat as needed.

    Bertha heavy! Now to use hoe to pull on corners and rock her out with some leverage.

    Steady, steady.

    Just got the second one out. And the rain is on its way. Could only dig deep on three sides of this one so it was stubborn, the underground wire was on the other side.

    Time for some back dragging. Then maybe the york rake if it doesn't rain. I found a power line. Ugh. Now, is that the old one? Or the new one?
