That’s definitely part of the plan. It’s just taking longer to get there than I expected!spend the Money and put in a lift when you are my age crawling on the floor is no fun

We used to call that a "Grubbing Hoe"They also come with a cutter head or a pick head. The cutter head would seem to be good for roots, which are plentiful here. I would think that it would work as a pick as well.
Thought a GH had a blade on one side...We used to call that a "Grubbing Hoe"
Mattock huh? I just learned some new stuff today on the www. I've always called them a pickaxe or a pickhoe depending on design. I use the heck out of the pickhoes, but don't use the pickaxe at all. I just use an axe or battery op sawzall if a root is too big, and an old pair of loppers for the smaller roots. Definitely don't use the good tree loppers on roots... the grit will dull it quick quick.I'm guessing you mean a mattock?

We have a small one, but apparently don't have a large one. Definitely need one with a 36" handle.

I use a big concrete hoe to pull loose dirt into a pile for the shovel or loader.Thought a GH had a blade on one side...

We have one of these, only not so large or nice.

Also, I like to use the pickaxes, both long and short, from my knees.... way betterer on the back and a way better angle to let the tool do the work. There's enough back bending when the shovel is out.
Good luck with it!!
As Keeper said, on the knees will save your back tremendously for swinging a pick/mattock any length of time.I use a big concrete hoe to pull loose dirt into a pile for the shovel or loader.
Those little backhoes are looking better and better the older I get. Just way too much dinero, but if I find one at an estate auction or somewhere, I'm in.

I’d love to have a mini-ex.I’ve been eyeing those Chinese mini-ex’s. There’s someone local that bought a container of them to resell.
