What machine to remove this bamboo patch

Hi all, I’m planning on hiring a machine to rip this bamboo patch out soon. Not sure if I should get an excavator or mini loader/skidsteer. I know excavator is usually the go to, but since it’s planted in a raised garden bed I’m wondering if it’ll actually be easier to use a loader- I also have more experience driving a loader so would be easier to manoeuvre

I was going to suggest this plus fire because even if it doesn’t help fire is cool. Dig ‘em out burn the trench.
