I have a stump 3 ft tall. with a metal fence growing through it. what is the fastest way to remove it ?

Answer 1

If you are not concerned about the Fence and it not too close to a Building, I would burn it. If, it 6-12 months old and you get a good fire going that thing will smolder for weeks until there a hole in the ground. I usually have a large piece of Tin/Metal to cover the stump once it smoldering so it not rain on it and I have to start over.

Answer 2

get a 55 gallon steel drum and cut out both ends with a chisel (not a torch...kaboom)

dig up as much around the stump as you can

pour used oil and diesel fuel into the hole at the base u just dug for a few days

put the barrel over the stump and light the oil/diesel on the ground

this will burn for days and will burn hot hot hot but most of the stump will burn out especially if the stump is dead

Answer 3

Althogh stump grinding comes first to mind, grinding may not be appropriate, depending upon the type of fence...chain link, field, etc. Heavy fencing may foul the grinding mechanism.

A tree or arborist service can use heavy equipment to tip the stump out of the ground, and can truck it off as well.

Answer 4

The metal fence or the stump?

Answer 5

Call a tree service - they are surprisingly cheap - cut the fence out as best you can and they can grind the stump.

Answer 6

do not use a chainsaw
the kick back is dangerous if you hit the metal
you must saw around it , there is no fast way
unless you get a digger and take up the stump

Answer 7

cut fence at boths side then hire a stump grinder from your local hire shop (hss,speedy etc...) be careful as you grind through and as soon as you can remove the fencing good luck

Answer 8

You have to dig it up, or use an axe to cut both sides
