I cut down several crate murtal's and had the stumps ground. However, on a couple of the stumps the guy couldn't get all the way down to the tap root.
One of these stumps is an issue. I am building a retaining wall, and i need a rail road tie to be right where the stump is at!!, the stump is just inside my property line..
Here are a couple photos, you can see the remaining part of the stump, as well as the tie that i need to move by about 10-12"
I have a rotary hammer drill, that i tried with a chisel bit... It did not work out well for me...
3-in-1 1" SDS Rotary Hammer
this is the drill i was using, while i like this hammer drill the hammer action did not have enough travel, i think all of the impacts were absorbed by the wood.
I was thinking bout trying a jack hammer?
another option that would be a possibility. would be an auger bit with a boxer that i am going to rent. this is a photo of the machine that i am going to rent with an auger bit on it.
My last option that i may try today is to use a carbide chain, on my Sthil MS250, i have a Rapco chain that i bought to cut the ties with.. I also bought 2 diamond sharpening wheels, so i can re-sharpen the chain...
Thank you for your help!
