Nope! Never seen one of those before. Where is that thing? Looks like it is pretty stout. Decent sized spade for something that small. You buying it?

Well I will tell ya right now that spades tits on a bull for evergreen , its a shade tree spade unless ya don't care about breaking and smashing the bottoms of all the trees ........ You'll surely become a kick ass wrapper unless you can find a wrapper for the front of that machine ....and also make sure the spades are straight cause nothing is more annoying then too pop a tree and watch all the soil come washing out like an hour glass or not cutting properly which cause severe root damage

[video=youtube_share;IU3-cYKjIs8]http://youtu.be/IU3-cYKjIs8[/video] I found this for ya , and also the most important thing with the spade is centering your tree , and when your digging its a good rule 5" down then 2 inches back up , when the spade starts to lift back it up and keep it completely on the ground so you get the full down pressure weight of the machine , you get a clean cut of the roots and a better un cracked ball ....if you see the tree tilting towards the spade your sinking chances are the tree is too big for that spade . you shouldn't be hacking through large roots ...
