We have the same issue with stumps. Have found that we put a set of forks on the skid steer and stab them in about 6 inches back from the stump and then pry up until you break the roots. Takes about 3 to 5 minutes per stump to pop them out. We stack them in an out of the way place for a year or so to let the dirt fall off then re-pile and burn them. You can also haul them to the dump if you want to get rid of them sooner. I have tried different stump rotting agents but they take longer than a year if they work at all.

Depending on stump sizes, I cut them low as I can without damaging chain saw blade.
I then have differnt sizes of pipe.
Place pipe over stump, add briquttes and light.
Sumps usually burnt down in a couple bags of briquttes for larger stubborn ones.
Can even roast a dog and marshmellows will removing stump...

Bigger stumps are pretty hard on a mid sized skid steer. You will get them out but you gotta go around and break all the roots then get under it and break it free.
Burning them out takes forever if your actually try to remove the part in the ground, (more in the ground then above). Fire burns upwards! Stump gets buried under the ashes then your wasting your energy.
Rent a mini excavator. (30-35 hp. Can Haul yourself if you got a decent trailer). Money well spent! Push the trees over exactly where you want them. Stumps come out with the tree. Big trees or stumps May require to dig around the sides and break the root, then push it over. Use the machine to drag the trees, pile them all in a pile, Process the fire wood all in one location.
I like the dynamite idea! Crack that biatch into pieces!

I find it easier to leave the tree standing and then push it over with the skid steer.
Get up nice and high and get lots of leverage on her.
Helps having a 12k lb track machine too.

You must have been sober that day
Behave used diesel before, works well if still alive/fresh cut. Does nothing once it’s been cut for 3/4 weeks.

I have used bleach with good success, drill two or three holes as deep as you can,fill as needed,works great for popular tree's as it stops the suckers from growing out of the roots,not fast but effective,
