best way to remove tree stump not
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 май 2023
- Yes, this is certainly a lot of work, but a tree guy will charge a lot more. It's a good bit of gas involved and good bit of water and dirty... Stumps this size will probably actually take me four and a half or 5 hours to get out. Smaller trees like four to six inches in diameter, I can get three out in an hour.. This one just happens to be a large old mature oak tree. I'll post again as I show the excavation and the cutting of the tap root
Where's the part where the stump goes away?
Long long ago
“Best Way to Clean Tree Stump” lol
Don't think y'all have done much serious yard work. This is genius
@chrispatterson229 thank you.. I appreciate it
Looks like a wet and muddy waste of time. Hire a stump grinder!
SWEET idea!! Thanks. I want to see the rest of this process.
I added a few more as I lost the footage of that big one
@@dachshundhomesteading7437what psi pressure washer do you have ?
@@terrymckenzie8786 just a simple off the shelf power washer from Sherwin Williams.. it's old so I put a harbor freight predator motor on it. I'm running about 3200 psi
@@dachshundhomesteading7437 thanks. 3200 seems to do the trick
@@terrymckenzie8786 I think so I can get higher pressure out of the machine but I never run it full force
This is so cool...now my neighbors are wondering why I'm pressure washing their trees.
It definitely works on trees like under 6 in in diameter far better and super fast
You just made a job more easier 😂. After this I'll let it dry, then grind it down. I am shoveling 😂 the usual way. I swear I felt I was some Jurassic finding 🦖 dinosaur bones.
You just gave me a great idea. I have 2 oak trees encroaching into my yard. Illegal but who cares.
Holy cow. This is by far #1 best video on stump removal. Yay. Anxious to try it. Genius big time. Thanks man so much!
I appreciate you
Did you ever try it?
I'm kinda curious too . I'm going to be honest it's easier on the smaller stuff like super easy...
@First-lx9hs I did this on a huge oak stump. Cleaned up roots very good. It didn't dull my chainsaw chain at all.
@bloodymerry4222 that's awesome to hear. It certainly helps not ruining equipment
I use pressure washer to dig post holes, remove stumps and cut a trench to run a waterline, and bury electric cord for lights. Much easier, faster and more efficient. I also use it to wash my car and driveway. Once you get the dirt ut of the way, out comes the chainsaw and axe then the stump just lifts out.
100%agreed.
Seems like it does better for the roots when I'm trenching for conduit that I don't have to worry about cutting through any other wires. Or roots
@@dachshundhomesteading7437❤
kind of cowardly to use a chainsaw at the end, just keep pressure washing it until the stump is off
What PSI?
Genius!! We just recently got an omg pressure washer hahaha. So glad I found your video!!
It's work. But nothing like digging :-)
@@dachshundhomesteading7437I’m literally going to do this today after much anticipation since watching this video last month. Now that I have the time I’m going to start this mini project so thanks for the awesome video ♥️
brilliant. now why didn't I think of this. this is awesome. thank you, thank you, thank you!💖💖💖💖
I’ve done this, works if you live in Florida, and your soil is sand and you trench the water away. Not so good in Georgia, with the red clay! Mess! You don’t have to a clue! But, it can work.👍🏻 Good stuff!
It does work in Florida. I lived in Alabama and I am well versed in Clay.. It does work. Technique is different.. most of that clay holds water. I understand what you are saying..
Certainly a mess either way you go
Wow, this looks like my kind of method!
@@GdaySport it certainly works
It’s a lot more fun if you have access to a water truck for construction or mining. 120psi and over 100 gallons a minute! Do it when the tree is still attached and it’s an act of nature and city can’t say anything.
100% true!!! IBC totes and a little gas powered pump works too, just takes a little longer. It’s also a great way to remove the tree if the stump and some of the roots need to be undamaged. There’s some nice grain patterns in the stump and larger roots, they look great sealed in epoxy for a table top or other stuff.
Oh I bet
Very nice! Just what I needed
Thank you. I appreciate the comment
Thanks for the idea. My neighbor has a huge oak tree that he refuses to trim. Going after to roots on my side then add a bath of Epsom salt.
Was thinking the same, can cut the roots deep and simply topple tree to extract whole tree including root
I actually came up with this idea too. I had a tree the up rooted and I used my 3200psi pressure washer to clean off the dirt and then removed all the roots that were around it and under ground.
Try a turbo nozzle. It's like a jet tip but it rotates. Fastest thing for sidewalk edging I've ever tried. They're great.
It's just a zero tip that rotates. I stick them down in there sometimes and I'd hate to get it stuck
That’s genius! I’ve dug up 5 already but I’ll pull out the pressure washer next. Thanks 😊
Definitely a good choice
Can you leave the rest of the roots where they are after you take out the stump?
I do. You can pour Epsom salt in the hole and they will rot faster.. I just cover the hole
going to try this on a stump this weekend
A great idea, saves hours of digging. Yes, it's messy, but mess can be cleaned up.
Sure can.
It's not as messy if you stand on top of the stump and spray outwards. Uncover all roots above ground and around them ,tie a chain around 2 of the biggest roots then run the chain over an old upright wheel then to the bumper of a truck . Pulls the stump out every time.
I came to this conclusion as I dug around a stump and used a regular garden hose on the roots…a pressure washer is 100% the way to go.
Awesome. It certainly helps
That’s a great idea!
It is effective. This is a huge stump. I was overly ambitious but I'll finish this up and post that video soon
yeah, but it takes 10x as long and 20x the work
@@f-puppet4059 yes. A little extra work never hurt anyone.. plus I'm cheap. This one was really big. Most of the ones I pull out take about 10 minutes and are only 8 inches in diameter
I actually used an old shop vac to do this, It worked really well and i had perfect tilled soil when i was done.
Like you used to shop vac after you wet it down. Or did you vacuum out the loose soil
u have a video of taking stump out?
This was pretty big. It took longer than I thought. But I'll do another on the smaller ones and post soon
Jeep could pull it. I basically just rolled it out of the hole. I had a massive one I did on a water tree and just pulled it out to the woods to rot
@@dachshundhomesteading7437 lol
jeeps are cool. the roots can be tuff. very tuff
I do this but don't cut the tree down. Cut roots and tree falls over and popps root ball out of the ground. Problem is after a while, the hole fills up with water. Time to knock off for the day and come back tomorrow and shovel out the mud then do another session. As all the water soaks into the soil each day, it loosens the dirt also.
I could see that. Depends on the way the tree leans I guess
@@dachshundhomesteading7437 Definitely, you're at the mercy of the lean.
Giving me blueballs, need to see the rest of it or the final result.
Sorry about that. I took that thing out and dropped my phone in the water.. I'll have to do another all the way through after Easter
Only thought about a hundred views would ever come from that video apparently it took off
Pure genius!
Aww thanks
⚠️ STONES - I’ve done this, but as the tree’s roots had grown, they intertwined and encased a damaging number of stones. Terrible for chainsaws!
It was a big stump, and we resorted to borrowing a backhoe. Did it in minutes.
Definitely between stones and god know what metal might be in the super old ones. We have had barbed wire through the center down to oddly placed metal stake sticking out of the trunk at the ground level. The rocks in the roots were by far the worst as it appeared to of grown out of a stone wall that was completely ground level so it was a surprise.. Luckily we had started digging and knew it was there. 🙄
That is also a solid plan
This is good ideas 👍
Cool. Thanks
Turbo nozzle and you’ll have it. It’s what they use for utility daylighting.
Maybe. It's just heavy
Gasp! I just did this and made a video of the process...only using a water hose. If I had a pressure washer...SO much faster. I only dig down so the water has a place to run down...but I can imagine that with such high pressure...it would just bast away.
That's a fact
Holy cow, this is freaking brilliant. I guess I don't need to buy a $90,000 excavator for my property.
Everybody needs a $90k excavator... But this will hold you over
I suppose if it's an oak where the roots grow outward you can then cut the roots. Some trees like pine have a deep tap root...may be tougher with those.
I've done it with both. Certainly accurate.. the hole needs to start out wider for sure for drainage to get that low
That is what I like to call, “HYDRO-DIGGING”!!! 😂😂😂
Truly is
It is a common practice for utility locating. No damage to the utility and everything gets sucked up by a semi truck sized shopvac.
Holy cow, my tree stump is almost invisible from the lawn around it. I will try this to make it completely disappeared.
Awesome
You are the MAN! I was about to call the stump grinder rental company tomorrow. How cow you just saved me $$$
What kind of pressure washer are you using?
My dad and uncle used to pick up sticks of dynomite at the feed store and just blew them out of the ground.
4th of July is here. I mean I could just get those 1/4 sticks of tnt and try that.. great idea
solid idea 💡
Mud isn't solid. Mud is a drag.
Thanks
That doesn’t remove the stump it just gives you access to the clean roots to cut them but you still have pick the stump up and move it
Once it's cut you just roll it out. Technically you could set it on fire because now it'll burn. Where as you can't burn a stump that hasn't been opened up
Genius 👏👏👏🏆🥰🥰🥰
Thank you. It certainly worked and I didn't get hurt. Bonus
After watching your video, I started using water around a stump in my yard. I'm so grateful for this idea. No way I could do it by digging with the shovel.
You could have shown the stump coming out as well😢
Yes I know I messed up but I dropped my phone broke it so I'll have to post another one a little bit smaller in the next week or two
Would make fixing root pinch on sprinkler lines a lot easier
Ok ok ok looks like you cleaned it good at least 🤷🏾♂️
Neighbor: Why is there a yard of dirt-splatter on my yard, driveway, and car?
It happens
now it´s nice and clean
Good idea, but a stump grinder is so much more fun to use.
I always clean my stumps before grinding them, too.
Gotta have clean wood
A bit higher pressure and you can cut the roots with the water...
This is a fact as well
You can also use a air compressor and not make a swamp.
LMAO that's lunacy.
Lunacy? Creative.. entertaining maybe. But idk about that. 😂
What brand and psi is that your using?
All harbor freight.. The machine started off as a just a Honda powered pressure washer 15 years ago but I blew that motor so I got a predator engine on there now.. it's running about 3,600 PSI
That’s what I do with my hose and cut the roots off
Does this hurt the tree
I should hope so..
Seriously?
Hahahaha!
Pressure washer specs?
4000 psi. Using a red 0 tip
AR pump. Harbor freight predator 13hp engine
It’s called a stump grinder. Check it out.
The cost of a stump grinder is cost prohibitive. It can be rented but I'm too cheap. The cost of paying someone to grind the stumps is ridiculous as I already paid a guy $400 to bring 14 smaller stumps and they took 12 minutes to do the job and left a bigger mess than this.. so I'll pass
Grind*
Clever
Ty. It did help
I use a spoon...
A spoon? This I want to see. 😂
@@dachshundhomesteading7437 It's a REALLY BIG spoon...:)
@@godbluffvdgg like a really big spoon attached to a heavy piece of machinery?
@@dachshundhomesteading7437 :),See, you got it now...:)
What do you do after pressure washing?
Anything you want. It's a simple choice of an axe or sawzall with a pruning blade
I guess it makes sense in some cases, but cant beat the excavator.
If I had an excavator.....
Other than the affordability factor. There are a lot less people that have access to excavators than you think.
Ineffective mess I've used it for going under walkways removing the stumps you know how if you look at a palm tree to look kind of grayish greenish pressure wash it it'll look like a nice brown color and works great for removing wasp nest 😜
Got to keep your stump clean for the girls
You're not wrong. Nothing wrong with keeping the mud off your wood
What is your PSI on the pressure washer?
Max psi is 4000 but it's never up all the way. So approximately 3500
Best way to remove a stump is to wait until it rots.
That could work
Have you ever done any big river birch?
Can't say I have
Awesome! No stump was removed from this video. Real tree guys don’t bring a power washer to the job, this is fucjing completely stupid. Grind the whole area. You deserve a pat on the forehead for good effort
I appreciate that
The stump isn't there anymore
Dude you must get so much mud and crap all over you. Still a pretty good idea.
I stay back. But my legs do get dirty
All you did was expose it not remove it
I did expose it. And then I removed it. It's just a short reel.. feel free to check out my other reels when I took the whole thing out.
Absolutely will take a look. Thanks
@@dachshundhomesteading7437 lol saw your other video 🪓
So clean you could eat off it.
I dont dig them up, i wash them.
It is a byproduct
This is sand, next to no mud or rocks or grass .....wup tee-do !
It's is sandy and muddy
@@dachshundhomesteading7437 I've lost 24+ Ash to the Emerald ash borer.Of those cut down , none were rooted in rock free topsoil as you would find in many housing tract developments. You can't power wash away rock imbedded roots.
Waste of water
Idk about a waste. I didn't waste a chain for a saw.. or 5 hours of my life. Or $500 of my hard earned 💰
Grass?
He’s, water that stump real good so it will continue growing and sprout new saplings in the spring
😂. That's funny
Try combining it with a sludge pump!
But if you have metered water.... that's gonna cost a bit.
So to remove it you give it a bath ??? WTF ????😂😂😂
I mean it is a little more than a bath. And I also bathe in sand and mud.. but I save myself money by not paying some over priced tree guy to do it.. 😜
Wow and just like that it's gone
Truth
Dumb
@@eugenewu2202 do you really think that if it works it is dumb?
CAP
Really. No cap!!! On God 🤣
Like the americanos said SWEET!😆 I will give it a try.yea why Not .
Why not?
What a mess it's making
It's gotta get worse before it gets better... Right?
Barack Obama got a Nobel Prize for doing nothing, but you were snubbed after doing this. The world is unfair.
Right. My thoughts exactly
😮
It's a little bit of work. But the stump grinder guy would do it in 15 minutes and charge $500
Where's part 2? 🙂
@@leandrolucato it's coming. I got side tracked after I got rained out
Thats how i dig trenches in arizona
I cant believe people would let you fi this to their yards.but then i looked at your videos and theres all
Of 2 .yea you couldnt do this for aliving youd be getting sued every other week
Please explain how I'd be getting sued every other week by digging a hole with water..
Are you talking about I have two videos or three videos off removing stumps? I've taken 28 stumps out of this yard. A stump grinder rent is over $600 for a day and $1500 for a week or a pressure washer I already own and some water.. plus to do this at my own pace. Or I could pay a service to come out and grind them... Is it messy? Yes. But it works.
Why not just use a stump grinder instead?
That's the choice most professional arborist would make. Plus you have the wood chips to keep the soil moist.
This is just a stupid way to wasteing water.
I was going to light mine on fire lol, but water will do too
That will certainly get it down to the ground. The problem is that it never burns lower than the surface of the dirt
@@dachshundhomesteading7437I was gonna do the pressure washer method but allready put the hose away and its cold. So i used an electric leaf blower to keep a fire going overnight the stump was mostly gone it the morning. Well i got lucky becuase there was a hole allready in the middle of the stump after the trees guy cut it. Also used a variac to slow the speed of the blower down to like 25% so the neighbors wouldn't have to listen to it. its burning a big root right now.
Doesn’t work in east TN
No? Rocks and such?
@@dachshundhomesteading7437 maybe in other parts but I could barely till my land this spring, way to rocky but I like the idea of the pressure washer. Thanks for sharing!
what a waste of water ....very inconsiderate to be doing this.
This is definitely not a efficient way to remove a stump, how are you going to move the stump once cut?
Muscles.... Big strong man sized muscles. It's not that heavy. I just moved it to the fire pit today using a hand truck. I never claimed it was efficient it's effective. And not paying $400 to grind it is a plus. Then to find out a week later that the stump guy didn't grind it deep enough. I've taken 40 out on this property.. the smaller ones are way easier..
@@dachshundhomesteading7437I would pay good money to see you move that by hand
I did this still can’t get it underneath to pull it out
There is usually a single tap root. I have a long pruning blade for my sawzall and I just look it off
@@dachshundhomesteading7437 I got a sawzal a nice one and cut all the roots around it just a still can’t get under its deep lol 😂
It can happen. Usually it's something small that stops you
@@hwhitley93 What's stopping your hole going deep, you flooded it?
@@fungames24 the roots were just really bad really deep. I couldn’t get it out. I actually had to hire somebody with a bulldozer.
Hydro vac 😮😮😮😮😮😮
No thanks lol
What a waste of time. Stupid idea. Get a stump grinder and you will finish in half the time
Well I should finish in a tenth of the time.. do you have a stump grinder? I don't. I can't afford one. My neighbor has one and asked me if I wanted to borrow it. I declined. And why? Because if it breaks I don't want to be responsible. It's my time to waste. And it worked. So if it works is it a stupid idea. Or is it an effective solution? Be upset. But I appreciate your comment adding to the algorithm
So much easier to just grind it. Bet this took forever.
It didn't. And yes grinding is easy. It's still messy. I had 14 baby stumps ground for $400. The guy was here for $20 minutes and I spent hours cleaning up after him.. I'm good with this
Fun way! but not the best way.
I like burning stuff but it never gets it down far enough. Maybe a combo of the both
your cheating
I'm cheating. How so?
@@dachshundhomesteading7437 LOL I always had to do it the hard way so that's cheating no I really don't care how you do it going to try and remeber that for when I have to do that again
All I see is a big mess, waste of energy and water. Fired !
Well that's fine too I prefer not to be taking stumps out but I'm not paying those other guys to do it $400 for 12 minutes of work that's what the stump grinder guys are charging
i need to try this in arkansas
Probably more clay there. We mostly have sand here
I'm in south Arkansas and I've been trying to think of a way to pull up stumps faster. I've got about 100 of them and probably 50 trees left to cut down😪
@@JKinder313 you try the chain and partially flat tire trick?
@@AmishHitman73.Archive You've got a based channel lol. I am from Arkadelphia and I spend a lot of time in Central Arkansas. Always good to see fellow Arkansans online
@@JKinder313 "You've got a based channel" i have been thinking many hours about this annnd being "based" is all i have ever known. its what i grew up around. i am 50 and my grandpa was born in 1903. i told grandma to shut up and a half a second later grandma was picking me up off the floor and looking up and seeing grandpa who had just back handed me continue with his meal. we werent tough, its how life used to be before this wimpy crap parents that are now so common, its what life was like before your birth, you may think yourself as not like that, well you are more than you know, you just need out of this protective world women have created from their estrogenic snap emotions and let your balls hang down so to speak
"Yeah,...I dont dig em up,...I waste untold amounts of water (and gas) and I uhhh,...I pressure wash em up"
Sure do.. instead of paying a tree service $400 to come out and do it in 10 minutes. I take some time out of my day, I use water from my well that is going right back in the ground and a use $3 in gas.. why not?
Too messy
