Raven I live on a ranch so our methods of stump removal may not fit well with someone in the city. Here we will attach a chain on the stump if we can and pull it out with the tractor or if it is damp around the root making the ground soft around the stump but not to bad for a tractor we will us a front end loader. If the stump is in a place that is safe enough for a fire we will put the left over brush on the stump and try burning it out. If you don't have brush carefully soak it with some diesel and light it. So far around our place the tractor and chain works wonders.
