They can be so DAMN frustrating!! Ya dig and dig, breaking the roots, and then you see the first, almost imperceptible movement and ya know ya got it... all except for that one stinkin' root you can't find. Then Finally, you see that one particular movement and YOU KNOW... you've won! Now, just lifting it out of the hole. Only thing different, I use a Kubota KX057-4, with a 16" bucket. Good job!!
