Took me 4 hours to remove a single Bradford pear stump in Nashville last Saturday

I figured the chainsaw and a shovel would be enough. That tree fought back every step of the way. Root system was insane, wrapped around a buried sewer line I didn't even know was there. Had to stop and call a buddy with a mini excavator to finish it. Has anyone else had a job turn into an all-day thing because of hidden roots?

I used a stump grinder rental for $80 and it saved me three hours easy.

Three hours of wrestling a stump for $80 sounds way better than my last attempt which cost me two Advil and most of my dignity.
