I'd use a hand pruning shear with a sharp point like this:

Leave it tied to the tree and put er in reverse.

I know how you feel I do a lot of beach tilling and find a lot of stuff buried ski or anchor ropes garden hoses but the worst is romex wire. Raise tiller and disconnect pto shaft then tiller will turn backwards helping to unravel have a bed frame in rotary mower now that will take torch to get out ain't it fun.

I've used a sawzall before. I borrow my boss' tiller for the tractor and it always clogged when I get it. Since its normally delivered in the back of my truck and I have to lift it out with the loader, I sit it on the edge of my deckover trailer (good working hight) and block it up safely. Then a sawzall with a long blade makes quick work of most of the trash he leaves wound up in there, but good wire cutters and a sharp utl knife are always on hand as well.

Good luck...

Electric fence wire is worse . So is rope. You can tell yourself you will never do that again but you will, I will and everyone else will . File it under chit happens in the Twilight Zone. :confused3:

Pressure wash it to get the mud off, then cut the hose out with a razor knife.
Not a fun job at all (but not as bad as mattress in a bushhog).

How about a 10.00 x 20 tire halfway thru a flail mower used on right of way

Go back and look at the tool I made in my post--#4. It works like a dream and I get stuff wound up all the time from commercial tilling.

A tool like this allows you to flip the back lid up, lift the implement and sit on the ground to use pulling stokes to cut loose whatever ails you. I could cut that hose off in maybe 5 minutes and long before the brew was either warm or gone...whichever comes first.

I actually got this hooked knife thing from one of those make your own knife ads in a magazine. I cut a slot in an old wood maul handle and mounted the blade with a slight back sweep to make it easier to use. Keep it sharp and I can cut off the nastiest grass wads in mere seconds.

Before the tool, tilling was always a hassle of unwinding things. Now, problems are an afterthought.
