Hi
Does anybody have experience lifting young grape vines without killing them. I've lifted lots of mature vines with large trucks on them and transplanted them by lifting with a fork lift tractor. However to do this on young vines normally ends with a stump left in the ground and a wrecked vine on the forklift. Access to the vines is restricted by the adjacent rows of vines. Can't get a ripper etc close enough to the vines with my single Tyne ripper.
Anybody got any suggestions on how to do it easily? Got about 50 vines to move do not have the time to dig each one out individually spring is on its way.
