    Yes that's the only way unless you want to pull them with a tractor and chain, how old were the trees ?

    Don't they put some type of urea in the stumps to break it down by rotting it quicker but I'd imagine it would be a slow process

    Did you get a felling licence ? If not pray to god they don't pick it up on the satelite, €60 per stump and you have to replant also
