I have a Paulmco (Northern Tool) pallet fork version. I dont use it much & its crap compared to a backhoe. But it's better than a hand shovel & blowing out my back planting our live Christmas trees & such. Took me 15 minutes to dig the tree planting holes most of the time.
My L4060 unsuprisingly runs it better than my old L3200 did. But both are acceptable for small jobs. For bigger jobs I borrow a friends hoe or rent a mini-ex.
I dont use it much & it pales in comparison to the real thing, but I wont sell mine unless I get a real hoe at some point.
The extra length on the pallet forks makes visibility a lot better & gives you more depth. I'm pretty sure I wouldnt use a true bucket spade as much as my fork spade.
Whatever you do, dont back drag with a bucket spade. I got luck & only popped a fork off the frame & slightly bent the frame. The typical result is bent curl cylinders.
