chainsaw chains become dull almost instantly when they come in contact with dirt. Your cutters are rounded right over....no wonder it wont cut that monster stump

Shave the rakers down , get 2 new round files and have a nice afternoon

rent a stump grinder!!!!!!!! then you won't have to sharpen your chain every 30 seconds!!!!!!!! chain + dirt = sharp for about 10 seconds

You could also buy a carbide tipped chain? A new chain would be like $30 bucks and it would last to get 'er out and then spend a couple hours sharpening....good luck

X2. Stump grinder or backhoe/bobcat. $150 for either choice and you'll probably spend $75 on new chain and files for the saw anyway and it will take you 10 times longer.

The problem is that its not just one stump there is 6 trees in this cluster and being so close to the fence,deck,house I was trying to cut the stump down enough to stump grind! Skid steer is not a option for this spot or a track hoe!....maybe dynomite!

I cut out the offender

is that a rock embedded inside the stump? cool.....

You could work at that stump without having to cut down with a grinder. I rented a grinder for 4 hours and did 3 massive spruce stumps and 3 birch tree stumps in that timeframe - they are fast and once you get used to them work great.

What about burning it out?

I would have to build a fire pit around it and have a screen to cover it, to meet city bylaw

Yes this saw has seen it all. The first day I owened it I was cutting down a 100 foot elm half way trough the truck....sparks. The person who planted it must have used a 3/4 chunk of rebar to support it while planting and the tree grew around it. I bought the saw at Central equpt rentals 13 years ago, when I went back in to get a new chain I told them the saw was a POS wont cut rebar.... Funny the looks you get when people think your serious! Love the husky still starts after a couple pulls, next one will be Stihl after the changes I heard about Husky! But if I could go back I would buy 2!

I just bought a Stihl Kombe system with the weed wacker, sweeper and roto tiller attachments that thing is great. I also bought it due to the fact the wife can start it!

You care what city bylaw says? As long as you control it, who cares.

I have had bylaw come by my house several times and say something, and gladly tell them where to go.......

i dont think you would want carbide, sure they last longer, but they cost about $80 and if you ever hit a rock or something that chain is done

We do very important things here on S&M!!!

First all the teeth are dull. Second your rakers are too low for the teeth. Of course it won't cut, you can see the rocks the stump has grown around. Dig a hole and pull it out with a truck.
