| Don't use a bulldozer it just breaks the trunk off and leaves the roots in the ground, Just like pulling weeds in the garden is better than hoeing off the tops. Better to lift straight up with a loader or hydraulic excavator with the right attachments.
Here is a walnut orchard that is being removed.. every 30' is a tree row so basically the whole field is a mess of roots and branches. I would never consider using a vibra shank in these conditions it would last about 2' on a good day. We first use a 20,000lb 12' wide Towner Stubble (Clearing) disc, then use a 3 shank heavy duty LeT ripper. I would not use anything with belts after removing trees unless you like to replace them.
