    I'd just leave it and the digger driver will have no problem cleaning back the scrubb and keeping it seperate from the clean soil...

    Better paying the digger for an hour to do this than hiring equipment and busting yourself...

    You might need somewhere to bury the scrubb or even better a tractor & trailor to draw it away..

    Cheers
    BAM

    You need a big petrol trimmer with an 80tooth blade to clear that kind of scrubby growth.
    40cc+ can you hire one?

    Ask for a clearing saw, and don't forget the PPE or you will regret it.
