- OK, for us Hurricane Sandy survivors, there is still alot of clean up left. I have lots of friends that have tree stumps that need to be removed. Having a stump grinder, this should be easy. BUT most

- I've cut many huge roots in the ground with 12" coarse-tooth Sawzall blades. They last amazingly long, even in our very sandy soil. Karl --Original Message-- question is, what should I >use to cut th

- Another vote for the reciprocating saw. If you have a lot of roots, though, a 120V saw and a small generator like the Honda 1000 type may be a better choice. Otherwise, you may spend some time waitin

- Eric - The reciprocating saw is probably the best recommendation, but I also second the recommendation of just trashing a blade in the chain saw. In the end the time saved may be worth the cost of a

- If this is something you are going to do a lot of, then the reciprocating saw may be the best option, since decent blades are very inexpensive. (I like the DeWalt blades.) I will say, though, that my

- That would be my suggestion, too. A backhoe/excavator with a thumb and/or a cat, then a tub grinder, assuming you can't pile them up and burn them. _______________________________________________ Sho

- I have used a reciprocating saw as well, but the mention of hydraulics reminds me that I have also used my engine lift. Depending on how big the trees are, if you can get a chain to grab something, i
