Stumps have been causing humans many disruptions for a very long time. Long ago, stumps were in the way to grow needed food crops or raise life stock. Today stumps still cause many disruptions. Whether they are in the way of a new highway, a new home, utility rideaways, a new privacy fence, a yard/ business beautification project, or a need to expand usable ground.

Fire and primitive tools were among the first methods used to remove stumps

Many of the earlier stumps were removed by means of extraction through pulley arrangements or screw extractors being powered by horses, oxen, or mules.

As times changed for the trade, explosives were then utilized to make the process faster. Stumps then were becoming a valuable commodity for their organic chemical compounds they provided through ingredients in medicine, paints, dies, glues, and fabrics.

Stump Grinding or Stump Cutting is a modern advancement that was started most recently as the 1950’s in America. This start was a result of Gary Vermeer and his desire to equip people to do more in their trade
