I winder if you can convert a refrigerator dolly to do the same job. Probably cheaper to fabricate it, unless you weld up a fixture that you could bolt onto the dolly and remove when you were done...
I used to manufacture these. They need very strong handle to cross bar joints for most soil. This guy's soil is very sandy if you use it in clay you will need to jump on the cross bar, not a foot behind it, and you have to plunge it every 4'' back otherwise you will never be able to bend it back.
The ergonomics on this look about a thousand times better than what I use now, a "garden claw". I like it and want one.
The tool is clever, but that cute kid making faces stole the show!

Looks like a nifty gizmo, but it would never work around my area, way too many rocks. I wish I had ground that was that easy to work.
That makes me wonder about positioning the tines. Should be parallel to penetrate easily, but the center ahead in a slight "V" might ease it in tougher soil.Quote:
