stick with the spade iv used them for putting fencing in but i wouldnt want them out ferreting, think there could be a place for them if you work the right ground some nice easy digging perhaps sandy ground, id like to see if anyone does use them out ferreting

I just stick to the bulldog spade and the little roughneck(I think it's called that) perfect for the ground I ferret and both easy to carry, which is a must as we do a lot of walking on our permissions

just picked up one of these half price from homebase to try, i have a bulldog, decent spade but the rounded edge isnt great for roots
