removing yuccas?

[jrmyers]

DOES ANYONE MAKE A TOOL TO USE ON A THREE POINT HITCH TO GET YUCCA PLANTS OUT? THEY SEEM TO BE A BIT HARD ON MY BRUSH HOG? JOHN DEERE A, 5 FOOT BRUSH HOG?

Brush-hogging won't help, anyway: the yuccas will come back.

I have no idea how tough the roots are of a yucca, but a couple years ago we bought a skid-steer brush puller and modified it to fit our Kubota loader tractor. Ours is a very cheap/light one, but it's still been fantastic of pulling up brush and small trees by the roots to get rid of them for good. Our Kubota loader doesn't have a front hydraulic splitter nor front remotes, so I just run a pair of long lines from the puller back to the rear remotes. Not quite as convenient for operating one-handed, but fine for what we need.
