Digging Spade....?

[foxtails 272]

iv been looking out for a new spade for this coming season, i had a small folding one last season, which when i got down to some hard digging it bent then snapped .. it had a pick tpye thing on the one end and a spade on the other, after that i had to carry a big heavy thing, so this season as im always alone while rabbiting aswel as carrying all my other gear im looking for a small shovel/spade that wont be much to carry size/wieght ect so iv saw these on the e bay what do you think ?

out of those 2 id go for the first one, or if you know anyone who works for the council doing road repairs they might beable to sort you out with a good spade for a few beers.

Both of them look okay strength wise, I'd personally go for the one on the right, looks like the favored bulldog rabbiting spade, if they are not to much it would be worth it if there getting on into the bulldog price range I would go for the bulldog range but that's just my personal preference, ATB Dan

Bulldog. all the rest are just waste of money along the way to end up buying a decent bulldog.

There mini spades aren't they ????? If so not handy if out in your own and you have to dig deep to get a stinker when it's about to get dark : /

It's your choice how well do you know your ground I can ferret most of mine with a ladies garden spade , but on other bits I take a round mouth bulldog

exactly spot on ! yes some are very very deep, obviously i would not ferret those just before dark ect, im on about a mornings/afternoons ferreting,, the left one is small, the right one a normal size spade im dont think its a bull dog but its the one iv chosen.

Ive three ,four spades mostly get by with the ladies garden spade dug down to seven foot with it no problem , Then a ditching spade , a round mouth bull dog and a huge round mouth spade for ferreting in sand . Its easy enough to fire a extra spade in the car in case you need it

Ive used a Bulldog for years, also have a small spade, and recently bought a nice stainless steel one from Homebase, it had quite a bit of it, a good buy, it was Lawrence from here that put me on to it.

got to agree with the one diffrent spades for diffrent ground got four myself always in motor why not buy proper bulldog rabbitting spade with a y handle to take shock away when you hit rock or the best small one from bnq fiberglass shaft y handle light small but very stro g roughneck brand

Why do you ned a smaller spade for ferreting than digging?

Its all underground, so practically you should have the one that will do the job, wont break and make digging that bit easier.

Bulldog, spear and jackson or draper round mouths, or a good newcastle draing spade/spit.
