Had to dig up this concrete footing. I suspect it was for a dog kennel. I scratched away at it for awhile with a pickaxe and a digging bar but at some point a guy's gotta go weld something, right? The tractor bucket punched the 'new' spade down and lifted it out with ease. As it is now, pushing down puts a force at the center of the cutting edge. I will add a 'ledge" so the downforce is shared between the cutting edge and the upper bucket structure.
Here some pics. Held on with 2" wide cargo straps.

Had to get around the bucket hook.

Bottom of the bucket, looking up.
