Rented a TB 175 to remove this abandoned cistern that I found in the middle of my driveway (pathway for electrical conduit), and this is as far as I got. It's approximately 1,000 gallons and the walls are 6″ – 8″ wire reinforced concrete. I'm too old to be doing the sledge hammer thing.
What do you think?

Aside from the wood being too porus as Ron states, I think the wood would be too forgiving and “spongy” as compared to concrete or rock.
I don’t think it expands all that much, unlike a wedge being driven into wood.
Try it, see if it works.
Bigger,
Even if it did float (which I doubt it would), I have nowhere to put it.

For tree stumps you need either a big shove like you get with ANFO, ors a high brissance snap like you get with PETN. So if you want the whole stump out, you mix up a batch of ANFO under and around the stump and wait several hours then light it off. Heaves stuff up and out just dandy, if the neighbors don't mind. If you just want to cleave the stump off at a given point, a wrap or two of det cord around it does the job okay. That one will be over with so quick the neighbors won't know what they heard. (grin)

I assume if a non-explosive demolition agent worked on tree stumps, a manufacturer would already be marketing it for that use. As for the use of an explosive demolition agent, I think the neighbors would mind. Some neighbors are even pushing to ban leaf blowers and other “loud” equipment.
Bob, maybe I will give it a try.
