I had good luck once getting in the pond and cutting them with shears below the water serface and then they fill up with water and drown. Don’t know if this is an option for you.Comment

There was a guy on here who built a tree shear similar to what I think you're talking about. Had hydraulic cylinders out front that pushed two blades together. You wouldn't need the blades.
