I bought this 6 pound monster tonight! Back the truck up. They call it a "railroad pick". The spike on the one side and the narrow axe on the other side are each about a foot long. I will easily be able to sink either one of them all the way into the ground and then use the leverage to pry out stubborn roots. After I loosen everything with this it should be an easy matter to dig everything out with a shovel. I also have a large long-handled axe to work on any stump that might remain. This is the year!
