You not come across pelote? Pyrennean shepherds used to kill wolves with the things! Think they use a softer ball in the sports version although I notice they still seem to wear helmets....what's wrong with a long shovel, saves all that b******ing about worrying about how to get the barrow within ten feet of the trench that people seem to spend a lot of time fussing about on site, or messing about with buckets. Not got a lot of time for any digger who cant get at least 95% of the spoil into the barrow at 5m+, bet you can't do that with one of them Scandiwegian devices Unit is so keen on?
