Sure, but why?

Wouldn't do any different than an electric drill. Except maybe work under water.
How about the classic Skill saw, with a cheap carbide tipped blade? That will cut thru most anything, with the right blade. A low tooth count, if you have a choice.
Otherwise, as Jimmie Walker used to say (not in this context) Dyno-Mite!!

Mowing around stumpers adds an extra hour to the mowing chore.

Leave them tall enough to install a nice top and use as a picnic table.

What do you mow with? Fingernail clippers?
Why not blast them out?

My old man's method. Enough dynamite to render it into splinters. No kidding. When he blew a stump there was nothing left to pick up.

How about a planter?
Contact paper?
i cut mine low and built planters over them.

Move. I got rid of moles that way.
I'm talking about a jackhammer that they use to tear up streets.

I've read in many places across the internet that powdered milk will greatly accelerate the rotting.
I drilled 1/4" holes all over mine and then wet it down. Then sprinkled it liberally with powdered milk.
I don't know if it really did anything, but it did rot pretty quick.

I just move enough dirt around them so I can get enough room to cut them off flush with the ground with a chainsaw and then ignore them. We mow right over them.
I strongly suspect that drilling 1/4" holes all over it and putting *anything*,
or even nothing, in them would greatly accellerate rotting.
You better watch it.
You'll have the animal rights people after you.
