Seeing as you've already dug out around it, I'd just cut out as much of the stump and roots as possible without risking your chain and then bury the rest.

No it won't. I tried pulling a 18-20" stump out with mine. It was about 3' tall, so I had good leverage. I was pulling down a very steep hill, and my front axle was on concrete. Stump didn't budge.

There was no digging or root cutting either, so that didn't help a bit. A Deuce will work in the OP's situation with a 3/8 CHAIN wrapped around/under it like in his first video.

Haha - I didn't have time to work on it this weekend. I'm a high school football official here in Michigan and I officiated a bunch of games this weekend. I won't leave you hanging though!! This week for sure
