what a beast of a hook/ripper Navvy bet that takes no prisoners .......... at all

Right shape for a subsoiler. Wrong shape for a ripper IMHO. Not enough curve to make the most of your breakout force. But if it does the job you wanted...and it was cheap..

@Rivmedia how do we rotate pictures please this is happening a fair bit i have even tried to rotate it in microsoft and reattach it doenst work

It's usually because your exif settings for the image are wrong. You need to select 'ignore exif' when saving, but I wouldnt; know if microsoft has this option.

There may be a plugin for the forum software available similar to that which eBay use, which would allow you to rotate them in your browser before posting. This would be the best option.

Maskinisten has the facility to rotate images to your heart's content ... so must be do-able

Bet it makes a nice clean cut through those hidden underground services

I think that used with caution it is easier to watch & feel a single point rather than a bucket. Around tree roots I tend to go lower on the back stroke so the hook rides over and I get a feel for what's below.

It was extracting rootballs I wanted it for and the shape works really well on a small machine. That Leylandii was 500 mm diameter and took 20 mins to extract. A bonus is that the hook is excellent for cleanly extracting concreted in broken fence posts

I think that neatly sums up one of the reasons I voted leave. You go abroad and see all sorts of practices, from selling under sized fish that we were throwing back dead to this sort of H&S whereas anything we sign up to we gold plate just in case and enforce with zeal. Level playing field, my ar**.
Is what he is doing actually that unsafe? Probably not, but is it a CE marked platform with a current test? Obviously not, so our H&S Nazis would have you off site quicker than that.

I get what you’re saying, but a stack of cellotex would be one of the last things on a building site I’d made a platform out of. No mass and slippery surfaces. No common sense there whatsoever imho.

Maybe after Brexit most of this H&S crap from the e.u will be dropped and everything will be sensible again like it was back in the day

I doubt it, remember British built is what will help us out of the brexit lull. If anything the standards will go up. Just IMHO.

I was being facetious Mike

TBH I would of prob voted leave if I had lived in the U.K - but remains to be seen if the question gets asked over here .............not that I would get a vote anyhow.
