If you drive a machete like you would a froe you could tighten a pipe wrench over the blade, and use that to exert leverage.
A small diameter log or 2x 4 with a slot in the end could be wrapped in wire to prevent splitting, and serve a similar purpose.
A piece of ridge conduit or black iron pipe could have a slot cut in the end.
A purpose built wrench could have a solid head with slots at various angle.
I have a lot of old hedge shears I find pretty useless.
The steel seems pretty good for this kind of use.
The blades are a little short.
I'm imagining a full tang machete blade , sans scales, jb welded into a 1/2 or 3/4" drive socket.
Pair this with a rachet or breaker bar for a diy froe with no welding and extra flexibility.
