Once again looking for some advice... Learning the hard way that it is way easier to cut off even just 4-6" of stump than it is to grind through it. Problem is I only have a ms290 with 18" bar. Barely enough juice to cut through even a 30" soft Maple. Most trees around here are either Maple, oak, Ash, or Locust. I can get a good deal on a new MS461 with 25inch bar for $975. I hate to spend that much money, but the time I can save would be well worth it. Also, could that 461 pull a 32 or 36" bar in the rare occasions I would need that much? Opinions or other options?
Side note - I do take down a dozen or so small 15-30' trees a year so it wouldn't be just for stumps.
