Just a thought , before the summer season goes, I have often wondered what the power spade machine performs like in actual work, it is a curious object, but enough people must have bought one to make it worth making, I bet I am not alone in saying that this is one horticultural machine i have never seen working… SO.. If any member has one, what about putting a video of one in operation? it would be I am sure , very interesting to members.?

I hope this the sort of tool you meant, I don’t know if it would deal with my clay ground.

I dispute the claim about ‘a new tool’ it is the old Terrex spade under a new name.

My Fault Owen, Interesting video though, The tool I was thinking of is the one that takes a spade blade, or fork and is motor driven from what I think is a small JAP engine, I think Paul Mackellow pictured one on the old club site, but I cant remember what it is called, anyone know what I am talking about?

Sorry Plonker I did wonder if you meant this one or the Norlet power spade, wrong on both counts. I didn’t know of this other tool you mention, learn something every day. See what I can find.

I suppose a static one is cheating: <script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>
