I've just hired one, taking our similar stumps 15"-24" and some old ones
too. It was hard work and took quite a while but did get them out in the
end. Some older stumps (dead for 2+ years) came out much more easily. For
the quantity you have it may be worth getting a quote from a specialist.
Incidentally, I was advised to remove as much soil as I could from around
the stumps to preserve the cutting edge.

I also used plenty of petrol!

Thanks Harry

BTW who did you hire it from? One of the multiples or a specialist hire
firm?

The multiples have them e.g. HSS - but they were about 130 pounds + VAT and
delivery for the weekend compared to 50 pounds very nearby (in Chester).
Ring round a few independents. The landscape gardeners use them during the
week so I think they are often available at the weekend even at short
notice. Certainly around here.
