Country Joe 1,411 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 i know the wee spades ar handy, but i will stick with my Bulldog rabbiting spade, must be over 30 years old, did a lot of work. and never needed to replace anything. Quote Link to post
dsullia 32 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yup great spade the bull dog real value for money Quote Link to post
Brimmer 220 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 The mini spades are good enough for shallow stuff, and light, the bulldog rabbiting spades are also good for the shallow stuff, ideal for knocking little holes in to maybee 2 foot deep. For the same weight and size as a bulldog rabbiting spade, you can take a real spade around with you though, a decent chopped roundmouth, with enough angle on the head to lift out the loose to maybee 4ft down without having to take out a large hole, just a small round shaft, enough to get your arm, head and shoulders down to draw the rabbit and ferret. 1 Quote Link to post
