maxwell 88 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I am going to cut the head down on my round mouth shovel as I think its to wide, what would be the ideal width Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 What ever suits you and the ground your usually digging in. I carry two if Ive got the luxury of onsite transport, a bulldog transplanting spade (rabbiting spade) Which is useless in anything over 2.5ft unless you want to dig a man hole with it, but handy for shallow digs... And a roundmouth Ive cut to quite a sharp point (this one is quite popular with everyone who uses it. It also has quite an angled shaft, which makes bigger holes a doddle in the right ground, but I can use the bulldog as a breaker most of the time and the roundmouth to remove soil. Quote Link to post

maxwell 88 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I am trying to get the weight down as the amount of gear I have to carry plus rabbits is getting to much at the end of the day Quote Link to post
