19th Century Stump Puller

This is patent model number 224,746 of a stump puller made in 1880 by John G. Trump of Vassar, Michigan.
This interesting pyramidal framed contrivance is meticulously constructed with hand forged metal parts (chain, pulley wheels, pawls, hooks, etc) and wood carved skids.

Stump-Pullers.-The primitive method of extracting stumps is to hitch on a yoke of oxen, and, after cutting- away the earth from around the stump as much as possible, drag the latter from the soil by main strength. Explosives are frequently employed to blow the stump to pieces. A mechanical apparatus for stump-extraction is represented in Fig. 4. It consists of two beams placed at right angles, and carrying each a wheel at their outer ends. The journal of the larger wheel on the right is hinged to its beam so that the wheel may be turned back parallel to the beam for convenience in drawing the machine from place to place. A loop secured to the ends of the hinged journal carries a hook, to which the harness of the horse is hitched. Near the intersection of the beams is placed a guide for a knife, which may be adjusted by a lever as deep in the ground as is desired. To the rear of the beam on the left is attached a loop that encircles the stump. The horse is hitched to the apparatus as shown.

In operating the machine the loop is first dropped in place, and a ring is placed above it. A wedge is then driven into the top of the stump so as to fasten the ring, the latter serving both to prevent the loop from slipping off, and also as a band to keep the wedge from spreading the lower part of the stump so as to tighten the loop. The knife is next forced into the ground for five or six inches, so that, on driving the horse around the stump, it cuts off such side roots as may lie in its path. At each round the knife is driven in deeper until all the roots are divided. The hook shown is then dropped and held down by the foot until it catches upon a root. A few rounds twist off this last, and the stump may then be easily raised from the ground.


Sure, they do more than manufacture stump grinders...

  • TheStumpOnline is horrified by their proclamation.

Removal of Tree Stumps Using Explosives

The shattering and lifting of root stocks using explosives, is a tried and tested technique. It is fast, effective and cheap when compared with mechanical methods. The use of explosives for tree stumping is best suited to remote/inaccessible sites.

-Not a bluebird day in Stumpland-


Stump Likker se met sur une souche d'arbre. Il la détrempe et pénètre dans les particules de bois en décomposition.

Activé par la rosée ou la pluie, il répand des odeurs minérales et un arôme de mélasse incitant le grand gibier à venir dévorer la souche. Une fois découverte, sa fréquentation par le grand gibier devient régulière.

100% naturel.

I wasn't sure where to categorize this "Stump Molasses".  From a stump standpoint, it kind of turns us on with all the licking, but the French are sick fucks, so I threw it under the "Enemies" category.  Can you say bestiality?  Where is the justice?  - Editor a.k.a. Stumpy

This was sent to TheStumpOnline by some sick freak in Denmark.  In his words it is a "FINNCUT stump cutter to be fit on mini excavator."   You are demented.  You need to seek help.

Finn Jensen, he is the man, he kills stumps like no one can. 


Apparently Italians hate stumps too.  Someone in Italia tipped us off to this demented tool:

             That poor stump! 


Ferri sent this in, I think from Italy.  It's a global fight my friends.  The Stump War is on!
