Hi, is there anyone in the Leeds, Bramley area with a jcb or mini digger that could do me a favour for cheap ?

I am revovating my garden and I'm having throuble pulling out the pivot hedges roots.

There's about 10 roots in total so wouldn't take long.

Can pay a small fee

Or if anyone knows a good way to pull them out ?

Cheers

Lol, you got one spare ?

With a spade & pick plus some effort.

Wow.. good idea. I would never have thought of that.

Why break my back when I can hire or pay someone with a machine todo it?

Break your back? What are you a man or mouse? It's 10 roots for what is quite frankly something not that large.

Just dig under the main part then use a trolly jack to snap them off.

I'm a man thanks.

And tbh mate you should see the size of these roots.. they have been in the garden for the past 30 years..so have been growing for along time

.

I see where your coming from but after starting work at 7am getting home for 5 then doing the garden.. not much energy to be digging roots out.

Your are more than welcome to come dig them out if you want

rope plus tow bar does the same job for cheaper.

Find a car with a towbar, rope round the roots, take up the slack and gentle pull! Should do the job

Yup. This is what i did. Might have knocked a 1000 milea of my clutch

Just dug round them abit then pulled them out.
