That foot peg 2 foot from the bottom?

The welded foot assist is for digging out big pups that people want. Little ones come out with a trencher shovel.

I have spent entire days digging suckers, and if there is one thing I wish for, is that the bar was lighter. Digging out 100 suckers with a 15 lbs bar will wear you out.

In my soil digging out a 6 ft Pisang Klotek that someone came by for takes 2 people. I use the 2 pick mattocks. One one on each side of the pup. The PK roots run deeper and are 1/2 inch thick. I have put a bend in my digging bar trying to dig PK pups.

I have noticed that as well, the PK is very difficult to get suckers from.

My bar is sold/designed for removing bushes or trees. It's the 2" blade that makes the difference in keeping the most roots on the pup. And the 6ft for leverage.

Soon planting trees is coming up for me. Persimmon, peach, mango, jaboticaba and lemon trees. Again the small OST won't work out. Will be using a big shovel to move this Florida muck sand. And the pots run from 15 gal to 30 gal. Where's my energy drinks???
