I bid this job yesterday. The tree split in three directions and did considerable damage to this property and the neighbors property. I don't know why the tree guys did not cut the stumps lower to the ground except there is quite a bit of dirt that you can't see and the dirt is hard as a rock because it is wet and frozen. The ground around this stump is frozen hard too. I have done a lot of winter time stump grinding but have never ground when the ground is frozen solid. My question is this ... do any of you northerners grind when the ground is frozen hard? Does it damage your teeth? I have seen plenty of shows where fishermen use chainsaws to cut large chunks of ice up north and they aren't using carbide teeth. Odd thing was, I ground five other jobs yesterday and the ground was soft. The homeowner has not called me back. He is probably still getting over the price I quoted.
