Jayson, did you drop it that way to pull the stump too? Or, some other reason?

Getting the stump out was not really considered although I understand that is why they did it when clearing farm land years ago. There was actually a septic tank near by that we were worried about not to mention it was a lot of fun.

Where was your log that you were supposed to lay alongside the tree on the side it fell towards to pop the rest of the stump out of the ground?  :)

We decided the mound of dirt on that side was enough. We came up a little short on the tap root but close enough that it was not too bad getting the rest out.

Where's all the rocks?Nice soil you have there.Try that on my land and you would find more rocks than soil.I would not attempt to saw off the roots with a chainsaw.Would hit a rock the first thing.I have tried to remove stumps a few times.I gave up on that idea fast.Just takes alot of time and find way too many rocks.Good job with the felling and the rigging.That was a close one.
