What happens here

The process of removing a large tree stump is undertaken, which was an add-on to the original project. The mini excavator first attempts to dig around and pry out the stump. However, due to its deeply embedded and extensive root system, manual cutting with a chainsaw is required to sever stubborn roots. A heavy-duty chain is then wrapped around the stump and attached to the skid steer loader, which provides the necessary pulling force. The mini excavator simultaneously works to further loosen the stump, while roots are cut with the chainsaw, allowing the stump to be completely extracted.

Goal: Completely remove the tree stump and its root structure.

What they say

Hide

stump has got to go we could grind it down in a worst case scenario but still by grinding it we leave some of that root structure behind and we don't want to leave any more than we have to by pulling it we can hopefully get all of the roots to come with it but pulling it is going to be a challenge [Music] what i gotta put the bucket back on [Music] oh plane cuts any lateral roots because they may be wrapped around that electrical box that's right behind his in a perfect world they'd use that mini excavator to dig that bucket in and just pop that stump right out but there's just too much at stake where it's positioned [Music] feels like they're saying they're going straight down there yeah i didn't i didn't think we were going to get it out of there
