Decided to do some digging on this project today. Im down to about 16 - 18" deep and not enough yet have to check for more roots. Its some sort of maple that a friend took down past.
The cut off root edges from left to right is about seven feet. I think I have to pull more soil out between and under the cut off portions of roots. I know some trees go straight down but not sure here dont even know the type. They were here when I arrived. At some point if enough is cut im wondering if it can be chained and pulled up in one piece by a farm vehicle or two truck.
I could also sacrifice a chainsaw chain. Its sat for a bit and i past had cut what roots I could with a sawzall and longest axe blade at the time think was 12" had those green blades but the old axe blades were stronger. I just resharpen them with a die grinder and cut off wheel. I got this far today with an axe.
Ill check for any more roots and pull out from between and under the cut off roots. Any other ways to deal with this?
Ive done three before not so easy, they were smaller than this one. There was a Pilated woodpecker on this when I went out the other day. There is at least one more out there for him this has to go.
