Stump Removal
Around here in oregon we use an excavator for almost everything.........can you can pull them out of the ground then pile em up and burn em.....that is if there is no burning restrictions......i use kobelco 150 to do it.....but im positive that a 120 possibly even a 100 size machine will do the trick.......just grab ahold of them with the thumb and wiggle around a bit and they should pluck right out....ive cleared quite a few acres of alder TREES doing this....

If you can pass the cost on of getting rid of the stumps an excavator is the way to go.Dumpsters and disposal can get expensive quick.A lot of guys will push them to a corner of property and bury them.The problem with that is sink holes down the road if it is not done properly.
More and more contractors are having us grind them out after we are done clearing because its a lot cheaper to get rid of wood chips than it is stumps.
I opt for grinding them because I have stump grinders and dont own an excavator.

Are they open grown walnuts or is this a yard or field? I was curious about if they're availabe to be cut for lumber of you'd be interested in letting maybe a portion of them go for lumber if they're picked up?
