One was fairly large and the total stump is about 2' by 3' (at some point, the tree had a second trunk). We're getting an estimate to have the stumps ground down, but as usual, I'm considering doing it myself, even though I've never used a stump grinder before. How hard is it? Can a 65 year old guy - in reasonably good shape for a 65 year old guy - safely handle one? Can a basic rental unit like Home Depot carries (<a href="http://www.homedepot.com/tool-truck-rental/mobile/Stump-Grinder/SG1314B/" target="_blank">http://www.homedepot.com/<wbr>tool-truck-rental/mobile/<wbr>Stump-Grinder/SG1314B/</a>) handle something this big in multiple passes? And more specifically: how likely am I to regret the decision if I decide to do it?</div><div id="m_6927800830469505945AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="m_6927800830469505945AppleMailSignature">Thanks,</div><div id="m_6927800830469505945AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="m_6927800830469505945AppleMailSignature">Jim<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
