Yes

Seems like a hard way to dig a trench. What do you do? Dig, lift, drive off to the side, dump, drive back to the ditch and dig again? Seems like just using a shovel would be faster.

Since you have to already have forks for it to work, what's the advantage for picking stuff up?

My experience with buying stuff from Northern is that it's light duty, thin, and usually a disapointment unless it's a name brand product.

Ya I kinda thought that too. The only advantage I could see was maybe digging out heavy rocks or digging around a stump. I suppose it would be helpful to someone with a bad back. Weight can say a lot about a product and this only weighs 40lbs.

I had one and broke it. It separated at the welds and then the bottom peeled back. In their defense though, my forks were too thick for it and didn't slide in far enough to bottom out. That may have contributed to it breaking.

It's only $127 from Northern tool... not sure if I want to take the gamble or not. The only thing I would use it for would be digging out rocks or if I needed a long shallow trench. If it works, it would come in handy digging a 50foot trench.

Maybe I would be better off spending a little more for the heavy duty one from Bucket Solutions.

I have one of those. Great for digging up and moving trees and small rocks. I found it to slow for trench digging. Much faster and less hassle to use the FEL.

I lone it out a lot and everyone loves using it.

Soooo... you don't like my title? You couldn't figure out that I was asking for opinions? You got up on the wrong side of the bed? What?
