If you watched more KZitem, you'd know that the way you're _supposed_ to do this is to tie the stump to the trailer hitch of your car. Then you just drive away; the stump comes loose, flies through the air, and smashes in your car's rear window. Easy peasy! 😁

Great idea. The problem with the first setup is that you didn't have your jack supported. As the jack extends, and it becomes uneven, you can actually bend the jack frame. In the second set up you had the jack supported properly and eliminated the tilted lifting and gave yourself another inch and a half of lift. Well done!

We remove stumps commercially using a stump grinder. For small to mid-size stumps, this appears to be much more simple - no grindings to dig out and dispose of. I am curious how much lifting strength you would need for a live stump. I have a couple of 20 ton bottle jacks that I might try. Good video. Always nice to see a different way of doing something.

Nice video. Thank you for sharing. The thing working most in your favor was the decomposition of the roots. If it had been a fresh stump, it would have been a race to see which broke first, the beam, the chain, or the lock. (My money’s on the lock). Next time, try using another piece of 4x4 as a post to hold your beam up when you reach your jack limit. Then you can retract the jack, raise it with supports, then start lifting again without losing any of the lift you did on your first stage.

Really, really great idea. But be cautious, I use the same chains for uprooting small trees with a ratchet-lever hoist and I found out that those chains, meant for cargo securing, are specified up to 200 kilograms only (8mm version). Breaking load is eight time that, 1600 kilograms, but anyway, I never go where the chain would move if it snaps. Furthermore, I purchased a few shackles (they are cheap enough). I would never dare to use a padlock.

I used whatever I had laying around at the time, which were my never failing cheap 'made in China' hydraulic trolley jack doing 4500Lbs (2000Kg), a sturdy beam, a strong rope and some board. Neighbours looked at me with 'the what the hey?!' look LOL, but eventually requested me to help them out with their fence poles too, sure no problem :-) I totally love seeing you experimenting, processing results, adjusting the set up and so eventually getting the job done!

A hydraulic jack placed in a dugout area beneath a stump is also very helpful in PUSHING the stump out, rather than pulling on it. Place a 3" piece of a 2 by 4 (or something else even sturdier) on the top of the jack after positioning the jack. Works great when the stump is large or when removing concrete footing. Even "farm" jacks have limits.

Try substituting high lift farmers jack that is designed to pull poles out of the ground (or a large bottle jack) for the jack stand you were using to get an anchor point that can be moved up or down, and continue to use trolley jack on other side. If all else fails, use long chain attached to stump with same carriage bolts and draped over inflated spare tire positioned very close to stump so that chain goes straight up, then over the tire and then to trailer hitch on a truck or tractor at least 20 feet away and then pull it up and out. If you don't get traction, use longer chain and move vehicle further away before pulling. If you have a tractor with a 3 -point hitch and a pole boom, just attach chain where necessary on pole boom to keep front of tractor from rising up, and pull it straight up that way. Thanks for showing us the creative way to remove a stump with the tools you have available.

Honestly a clever idea! I got two 40 ton bottle jacks I can use in a similar fashion! Great show!

I removed seven large tree stumps in three hours. 1) I took a shovel and exposed all side roots. 2) I took my sawzall (20V cordless DeWalt with a 12" landscape blade) and cut the side roots. 3) I then took my very small skidsteer (John Deere 70) and simply knocked each stump over. 4) I then them in the Deere bucket, one at a time, and put them in the back of my yard.

Using heavy plant is THE most efficient way to get rid of stumps, but most people do not own any, even relatively 'small' pieces of plant like your Deere 70. And even if they can afford it, most backyard stumps do not have the room around it to get a machine in. These alternative methods like using jacks, fire, explosives, chemicals, stump grinders, ditch witches, etc. that you see all over youtube are for people who CANNOT get heavy plant to the job site, whether because they cant justify the expenditure or there is no room to get it in. But if you have them, skidsteers, backhoes, excavators, tractors and diggers are by far THE fastest way to up a stump.

Done this several ways. Found it easiest to leave a 3 ft. statue and winch it to a nearby tree, cutting the opposite roots with a grub axe as it levers over.

Good stuff. Was waiting for some wood to go under the Jack to give more lift, or at least a block on the Jack. Good initiative though!!

I've removed stumps very similar, but I found that using an engine hoist worked a lot better. I only had to do it once to remove the stump.

Good idea but that's not a tree trunk. It's a weed. Thank you.

Interesting.... I just used my engine hoist to get fence post out. Worked pretty well.

Slick trick! I really dig the lag bolt idea.
@dpk9993

Nice method! It shows that leaving some height on the stump allows you to screw in the lag bolts to lift the stump out.
