I uses a bulldog rabbiting spade and nothernite it's called a rabbiting spade and a good one.

I use the small spade from screwfix, less than a tenner and does the job aswell as any of the 'rabbitng' spades out there.

Dig like feck.   In all honesty i do also carry a long handled, long bladed, post shovel and bar in the motor, if things get difficult.   But johnnyboy and i have done 8 ft, which included going

yer trouble is i dont know how much smaller i can take it its loose on my older jill but tight on the younger one thought i was gonna break her neck tryin to get it on

yes its wierd at first it's good to see someone who's had plenty experience putting them on , rule of thumb if you can turn it a bit it's not to tight , put it on let the fert have a run on the grass if it's moving ok and not stressed it's all good ,

k fair enough i have thought of bobbin another hole in the collar is a mk1 and leather seen better days but just seems tiny already might need to damp collar first as its quite brittle

 

I try to always give them a coat of leather treatment it keeps them soft and crack free :thumbs:

Same as, you really cant beat these! Had mine three seasons and used it ALOT, deep enough too, and its still as good as new. I would buy another tomorrow if i ever lost it, highly recomended :thumbs:

never used one of these myself but by the pic wouldnt last imo if thats a plastic handle on the top, couldnt imagine choppping roots,flint, etc it would last to long , but can only speak from seeing it on a pic so might be better made than it looks

I have didn't last two outings

 

I've had it a couple of seasons now, out at least twice a week or more (sometimes 4/5 days), and getting plenty of use,and it's still going strong. The handle is plastic, but a kind of tough, rubberized plastic.

 

I'm not gentle on my tools and have found myself swinging itlike an axe,at roots, plenty of times.
