Hi exfarmer
Interesting to see another one with that kind of engine. cant tell from the pictures with those Victor handles but guessing the originals have been chopped off.
You need these ninja star blades to dig hard ground, not sure if there orgional, I know my great uncle made a whole heap of different blades for this machine. These work great to break up hard or clay soils and the odd small tree roots, works well to dig a trench and rip out grass so you can shovel it out easier.
