Tree Spade

[moeh1]

Bob,
I too long for one of these - has to be this year or next to be of use to me. I have a friend who used to be in the landscape business who described a different kind. It was on his Yanmar in place of his bucket and basically was a frame that held something that looked like a piece of pipe that had been cut off on a wicked slant. The longest part was on the bottom and you drove in and scooped down at the same time - great for small trees and bushes and good in rocky ground according to him. If anybody has more info on something of that style, I'm interested. I planned to look at converting my bucket for some kind of quiktach arrangement soon /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif This would be a good reason to do it.

Hand driven spades....that's the Tree Toad. Might as well use a backhoe. I can't imagine driving 6 spades into our clay with a post driver.....I'd get a chainsaw, cut the bugger off and start over. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
