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???
