    Take off the limbs with a bow saw.
    Hack it down with an ax or said bow saw.
    Hack through any roots close to the surface with a shovel and cheap hatchet.
    Double wrap a chain around it, attach to a tow strap, and yank out the stump with a 4x4.

    Least that's how I'd go at it.

    ^ forgot about the electric chainsaws. I had a large one and it worked great for a long time. Not bad for the $60 or so I think I paid for it many years ago.

    How hard is choke cherry wood?. I'm not sure electric chainsaws are great on hardwood. The chains most of them come with are for softer woods. I have a Husky that the chain seems to dull really fast when chewing through hardwoods.

    I recently pulled a stump with my Amigo and it was WAY easier than digging it out like I did the others. With only a 10' foot tree, that may be an option for you. Go slow though, so you aren't tearing out your sprinklers.

    As a contractor in Denver I can tell you that the Mexican labor force prefers to be called just that, not "amigo". Just sayin'

    I have a 16" chain saw that would work great on that project.

    Let me know. I can teach you how to operate it. They're pretty simple, just watch yuour toes and shins on the down swing. Lol

    LMAO, well played.

    I'd offer to cut it down with an ax, as I've always wanted to try that, but this weekend is promised to my wife.

    If you axed her nicely she might let you.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
