hyperion 122 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Just get a good digging fork and cut the two outside tines off with a grinder 2 Quote Link to post

Rory4 267 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 you not break more rock up using a sharp bar? get more weight to it etc Quote Link to post
foxing machine 144 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 would pay to see one go threw a pile of concreet. it might be a handy tool but its not a mini digger lol 1 Quote Link to post
