    But I don’t have a scalpel.

    That's one way to do it.. how many tons of pulling power do you have with that setup?

    Good question. 5500 x 2 sheaves. 11,000 I think. Biggest problem is flipping the tractor over the trailer :)

    Truth be told the tractor couldn’t budge it and I’m not driving my truck into the woods where she wants it. Dropped it right there and will have to rethink it. Wonder how many campfires I’d have to have against that to make it disappear? More than two, that I know.

    Clean it off with a pressure washer. From the red maple stump I dealt with, it seemed that the root ball had less bound water than trunk or branch wood.. I was able to make a stump of not unsimilar size go away with a few fires... Gave me something to do..
