Bosun11 537 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 For under a ton you should be able to find a couple of fiberglass Bulldogs, they dont have to be new. Get em to a fabricator and put treds on em to save your boots, 6" nails are good. Then get him to cut a 3" V back from the point on one of em for goin through roots. You should get years of good service out of both and if you have any handle problems get a made to measure metal one put on. Quote Link to post
THE GENERAL 1,982 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Best shovel I ever had was one the workmen had left behind on the railway lines, don't know where it went too. Maybe if you know someone does that type of work they could hook you up with one. Edited October 13, 2015 by THE GENERAL Quote Link to post
