HPR 1,160 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Carters do a smaller headed one Lee. Theyre still classed as a shovel. I think size 2 is the one you want. Google it.Sorry mate didn't see this . As rabbit hunter says nice little shovel . Got one the other month and made a two peace . Quote Link to post

leethedog 3,071 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Lot of roots where we dig just need something to pick round the big ones Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 I use contractor digging shovels with heel guards .Shape them with a grinder and sharpen .Carry a heavy duty spade for loosening ,digging around roots and a folding saw for cutting roots off.Don't like wooden handles on anything . 2 Quote Link to post
Daniel cain 45,147 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 I use a mattock Lee for around roots-one end to chop em and the other end to dig/pull out the dirt.handy bit of kit imo.atb dc 3 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Wooden handles on anything are a no no if you're doing any amount of digging. F*ck sometimes even metal ones aren't enough!lol 1 Quote Link to post
Silversnake 1,099 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 You need to use some spotted gum for your handles, heavy, dense, hard as rock and cross grained. Tbh they don't use spotted gum here anymore either. The crap timber that is used these days is a joke. The saying 'they don't make them like they used to' has never been more true. 1 Quote Link to post
