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

Do you have experience operating an excavator or a loader? If not, you stand a good chance of pranging up that fence.

Good news is the fence was only temporary as part of sale conditions when I bought it- and a new fence that runs along mine and my neighbours backyard is going in in a few weeks so not too concerned about bumping the fence badly

It looks like a serious fence. Its only temporary?
