What if you got 20 acres of stumps to get rid of?
Is it stump killer?

stumps ain't that tough
wind some chicken wire around your stump sticking up above it a foot or two and leaving a couple of inches of space around the sides. make it your brush burning pit and those hot coals will make that stump disappear if you burn in it enough. some say charcoal bricks will smolder it down but I found that the stump out lives the charcoal .. by far.
of course conditions must be right (no burn ban, away from structures, etc.)
if i stump grind i have to go pay a bond because Washington law defines a tree service owner a 'contractor' if he/she stump grinds; no stump grinding and you circumvent alot of Labor and Industry regulations including bonding. insurance is enough. i usually sub out stump grinding or 'treat' it for the long run if they're in no hurry (speedier decomposition).
my business is young:bang:
as a side note I have a friend in the gulf coast area runnin his stump grinder all day. he posted an ad in the local paper and has rolled and rolled along.

Red, I wouldnt have any idea. Call a local dirt contractor, they should have the machinery. It will leave one :censored: mess though!
Another option would be to find a ROW comp that has a hydroaxe. Its like a stumper on steroids.
Either one, i would expect to pay $1000 per day, however ive never priced any of this type work.
