The message
from gray contains these words:

/chop/

Most tree men will only cut down to ground level, or approx 10 inches.
This being due to that if the chainsaw hits one stone in the dirt, you
will have a knackeered chain. Some might cut lower he uses his oldest
and mankiest chainsaw.

Then if you want the stump out, it would need to ground out with a
stump grinder.

Any tree feller worth his/her? salt would take off the top, leaving
enough trunk standing to pull the thing out, dig round the stump and cut
as many roots as possible, then attach vehicle, block and tackle,
differential pulley etc., and drag it out.
