Awesome! I want one, no, two (never hurts to have a spare). And it even comes in the right color, Catepillar Yellow.
You've got to love serious gardening tools. Thanks Craig,
Jan.

I think that would be called a 'shovel' bodhi.

You could certainly do some damage with that thing.
But so much FUN though!

Have asked by brother ( works in a mower shop), if they have seen anything like this in OZ as I cannot find anything on the web in OZ

Thanks for the link to the dyna digger Ken,
that has got my creative thought juices flowing with that powered shovel.
Had to take a second look though when the video first started up, thought I had opened up an episode of world of bonsai !!
Seems they share the same intro theme!!
Thanks,
Paul C.

G,day Craig I am not sure but the Guy in welshpool road wattle grove digs Grass trees ( Xanthorrhoea preissii ) ( Christmas trees( Nuytsia floribunda) and has now started digging Melaleucas. He might use one of them as he has a fantastic survival rate.
He even had some Christmas trees in the Perth Zoo grounds.
A very handy weapon for digging
Cheers Pup

I did not realise a Nuytsia could be transplanted. Do you know if the host was dug up too? I tried to germinate some a while back with suitable hosts in the pot but didn't even get germination. Are they cultivated in Perth or only wild?
