"This is a review of the fork mounted version of the quickspade. I have one on a set of industrial forks attached to my tractor. It is a sturdy and simple piece of equipment that is easy to use. It is very effective at digging trenches and can dig about 4ft deep or more with a width of about 20 inches or so. Digging is not as fast as with a backhoe but if you don't have a BH or don't want to mount it for a small job, this device works very well. I'd guess it digs about 4-5 times as fast as a man with a shovel. You do need to back and manuver the tractor to dump the spoils which is why it is only 4-5 times as fast as a single man with a shovel as he could just flip the dirt aside. I'm not sure I would mount one of these quickspades on light duty clamp on bucket forks as the leverage can get quite high but with a properly supported set of forks it does a fine job. It is useful for trenching, general digging and also as a cheapo tree spade. Well worth the price."
