I have been clearing trees and stuff for a garden, it is going pretty well. However, after I get the stumps up, there are still plenty of roots all over the place:mad:

I am not sure the best tool or method to get the job done. I am thinking just get a plow and maybe plowing will rip up some of them or pull them up, then get a rake or just go through it by hand.

I also thought about this implement that has all these discs on it, and perhaps that will cut them up? I think the implement is called a disc harrow.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hey neighbor. I used a ASV 100 HP loader and it did what I needed to do. Then I used my boxblade to go over it and smooth it out.

Is the ASV 100 HP loader like a bobcat or something?

It may be in my best value to rent one for a day.

Depending on the size a rototiller is good at cutting them up and then you can rake them out. A ratchet rake could maybe work too if they're on the surface, or even a harley rake if theres rocks mixed in.

Just cleared land for my horse pasture two years ago. The excavating company took a 4-1 dozer and used the teeth as he "flicked " the bucket. That worked pretty well. Still had some roots left over. Box bladed with he scarifiers down helped a lot. Then York raked the pasture. Had a gentleman with a disc harrow come in and disc it up before I seeded it. Walked around and picked up leftovers as needed.
Not sure how much will apply seeing how you are going to till/plow yours. No quick way unless I missed something. Some dozers can pull a root rake through, but excavator company did not use one.
