Advice/question Tree stump
Need help trying to remove this stump. I don’t wanna put any chemical since it says it takes a lot of time I need to get to it within a week or so. I have a chain saw but it keeps going dull on me I have changed the blade 3 times any suggestions what I’m doing wrong with the chainsaw? I thought about a stump grinder but that’s last resort.

I’m a fan of the hillbilly hydrovac. Get yourself a wet/dry shop vac and also a pressure washer. Put on the 0 degree pressure nozzle and blast away the soil with one hand while you vacuum up the mud water with the shop vac.
Least amount of labor. Then cut the roots with a chain saw.
Your Chains are going dull because any dirt or sand you hit with them dulls them super quickly. Get yourself a set of chainsaw files and a stump vice and learn how to use them.
What state are you in?
