We had a good rain, our first in awhile, so the ground is soft. Decided to dig up wild climbing rose corms, often call "Sweet Potato Vines" in the South. These things run up a tree; eventually pulling the tree down. Often wild grape vines follow the climbing roses into the trees.
Bucket Spade works really well in this situation, where one is moving between digs. No changing seats, no dropping stabilizers, like with a Backhoe. Just dig, then drag or push back excavated dirt with the Rollover Box Blade on the 3-Pt., also serving as counterbalance.
I excavated the pile, which is mostly wild rose corms but also has Smilax corms and grape vine roots, in about two hours.
Pretty good view of optional L2296 72" Round-Back Heavy-Duty Bucket with SSQA, which is available for all the 'L' series Kubotas. L2296 weight 100 pounds more than the standard L2235A 72" bucket. L2296 make an absolutely rigid mount for the Bucket Spade.
