My machine is too big to fit into a 60" wide space. This job sounds like a crew is needed to cut the vines, and a little machine to make them into bits.

A crew is too slow, even at double time, until the tractor arrives.

Here, at about 1:09 to 2:09, is a good view of blackberries and their removal.

Easy, satisfying forward bushog work for 30hp or more utility tractor. If only no trellis.

Now here is the after. I used a small excavator to scrap them, ball them up then grab the ball to pile them up somewhere else. Then used after1.jpgmy tractor with a flail mower to clean up what was left on the ground in between rows.

Looks good.
Look like a two wheel tractor or small skidsteer w/ a front mounted brush hog (or mulcher) would have have done it quickly.
