[QUOTE="windsurfsam, post: 3392, member: 541"] Jim, I built a bucket like yours from 3/4" and 1/2" plate. Almost identical designs. I sharpened the leading edge of the bucket and it does a much better job of cutting roots now too. For a tree or stump that I am going to take out, I go around the perimeter of the root ball and cut most of the roots with the leading edge. Then I start digging up the root ball and pop it out of the ground. I have been able to dig up to 24" stumps this way. [/QUOTE]
