I've got some shallow rooted conifer roots, left over from some 8 foot leylandii which have recently been taken down; anybody tried pulling them out with a chain attached to a towing bracket on a 2.5 Tdi Discovery or similar?
Once saw a farmer doing this to some old hedge roots in a Defender, with excellent results and have seen tractors pulling them out, but someone mentioned to me that they had pulled a couple of entire small conifers out with a 4x4 ( he drilled through the trunk near the base, put a chain and bar through the hole, and just dragged away quietly).
May be a daft idea, but thought I'd ask the experts on here.
