Paumco Products Quick Spade Combo - Model# 1101-Quick Spade

This tool is a real back saver, I'm 75 years old and this shovel does the work of 10 men.

This I really debated on before buying. Looked at reviews from many websites, some mixed. I rolled the dice and think I won. This was the lowest cost option when you looked at shipping. It fits well on the bucket of a Branson tractor. I've dug furrows, uprooted big rocks, uprooted invasive trees (Autumn Olives), dug holes for trees, and dug muck at the edge of a lake. Great results. It can take the full force of the bucket Hydraulic system. It's heavy, but you can get it on from the seat, then tighten down with a chain and binder. I am being careful with it so I don't drive the tractor forward much with a big angle on the spade. Much better than taking a 5' scoop with the bucket.

After owning a Case 1840 for several years, I first found this really neat attachment. With it, I was able to dig a footing for a 40' x 10' proch in about 30 minutes. Need to move or plant a shrub or small tree? One scoop and it is done. I was digging a basement, and the whole thing was hard clay. My toothed bucket would just bounce. I used this shovel which mounts to my forks (slid together) at a 45 degree angle to break hunks of clay up, they change to a bucket and scoop it out. This is the best attachment for a Bobcat type machine for the money I have ever seen!

Well made. Heavy duty construction. Looking forward to using this product to remove roots from scrubs that were killed during this years freeze.

This is an amazing tool; well designed and well made.The only issue is that my tractor isn't big enough to use it to dig out bushes.Still going to keep it for other future uses.

Better than expected will work perfectly with my bx 2380

Did a little digging with a Bobcat 743...until I hit an extremely hard patch of earth, gave it a little more power and the hook that comes welded to the spade broke in half. Not at the weld mind you, but the actual hook. Looks to me like the hook may be made of a low grade steel (definitely not a grade 70 hook). Great idea and if it was made well it would get five stars, but I can't recommend it.

I am very happy with the purchase so far. I have only used it to dig out some trees that I wanted to replant. They were too big for a shovel, but with the spade attached to my pallet forks, the job was made easy!
