Not sure how are the measurements are made. Longer tooth you lose lever advantage for breaking roots. In actual use I never felt it was too short. Using the tip to cut, split or break roots important Clearing top roots allows deeper penetration. Large oak, maple, persimmon cedar. Agree with the shank and hitch length should not hit the boom. The design geometry of a close to a bucket should maximize breakout force.
