I’ll ask around next time I’m over to see where they get theirs and if there’s a make/model number. I suspect they show up once in a while at farm equipment/antique auctions. Here’s one in Canada:October 11, 2011 at 3:02 pm #69535leeharveyParticipantMine is somewhat different than the one in the link posted above.
It has 2 wood handles to hold onto and it also has 2 smaller wheels on the front that are adjustable. The handles are mounted a bit wider with bracketts to mount it to besides on the front of the digger.
Then above and behind the digger blade, there are 2 smaller cone shaped covers or shields on top of the tines behind the digger blade.
