A Kubota micro digger (often on most hire company's fleets) will get through that width ?
I would think any digger would do the job.
If it's really thick and matted and so big that you can't dig around it like a stump, then you will struggle, and a micro just won't touch it.
We have a ripper tooth on a 1.9t machine and that struggles sometimes. If you're going to try, get a micro with the smallest bucket (nobody hires them with rippers unfortunately) and get a stone cutter with a carbide root cutting blade. Use this to cut the bamboo root mass into strips and you might have a chance.
Thanks very much Ben. Will get onto it!
Can you excavate the whole area where the roots have spread or are they under paving and other immovable features?

Thanks for you time Andy, alot of the are is under paving that I am going to take up, as it has pushed it all up.
Stump grinder?
How much bamboo are you talking? I removed a few m2 of thick deep matted stuff in my new garden last year by hand with a mattock. It was a grind but I got there.
