Hey here's a good one.
A guy I cut down 3 gums for a while back didn't want me to grind the stumps. Just cut them as close to ground as you can.
Anyway he rang today, bring your Kanga to my place and get rid of the 3 stumps ... he dug them out!
I got there and man, no way is the kanga gonna lift that and you aint cutting it in half either (too much dirt).
So I suggested he get a bobcat. Bobcat minimum charge @$110 + dump 3 stumps (rate is double of greens for stumps!) $50 = total $160 approx. I told him to work on that as a guide.
Quoted price for stump grinding $165.00 back when we did the trees.
So he busted his azz and dug them out, cut with a hand saw thru like 8" dia roots etc, used a block and pulley off another tree to get them out.....
..... total savings? 0
