Depends on what you consider reasonably priced. You can get some nice property in the foothills around here, award winning schools, ag zoned, 100 acre minimum for 10-15k / acre for property alone. Anything smaller and you are paying as much for the house than for the property.

How much were you thinking of spending?

How many stumps? How big?

I cut down several 3-inch citrus trees and it cost me 25 bucks to have a couple of guys dig them up so I could pull them out with the tractor. One guy kept going back and forth between the grinding wheel and the roots with the axe while the other dug with a shovel.

Somebody who knows what they are doing can take out stumps pretty fast with a back hoe if you have more that are bigger.

Don't get me wrong. I had some stumps ground last year. Most of them stayed dead. The fig didn't. I expect some settling as the roots rot on some of them. I may be wrong, but I prefer to dig out than to grind down.

The gearmore post hole digger is made by danuser. I own one. I paid 2/3 the price of brand names for mine (under 600 with tax for digger with one bit). Haven't used it yet so can't tell you how well it works.
