    Why so low to the ground? Can't you leave an inch or two the tractor should clear it? If your dragging wood could you beat on it with an old ax to soften it up?

    Maybe keep collecting up brush and piling on it. Along with some larger branches. Then light occasional fires on it and tend them so they are very hot until it’s burned away.

    Do you have enough to make it worthwhile to rent a stump grinder? I used one on some of my skidding trails to make them accessible with my truck. Time saved made it worth the $300 rental fee...

    Really want it gone take a hatchet and a brush and clean off the dirt and bark and cut it again.
    I’ll admit I’ve dulled a lot of chains not taking my own advice.
