Digging a banana is a LOT different that digging a palm.

Yes it gonna be used to extract Banana Pups especifically...........

I´m planing to weld a foot peg too...............

The Concave model seems to extract a little more corm from the Mother...............and give a little more mass to the Pup corm............specially if you like to extract not too big Pups.................

Small Pups seems to inflict small wounds...........in Mother Corm.......than the big ones.....

And I have no experience.................if extract Pups affects the yield...........???

I´m planning to save all Pups.....................and I will try to extract them as small as possible.................and for this...........I would like to prepare a special tool................

Like a Surgery..............

Tony --- how did you finish that thing off? Or did you cover it up?

What did I do?
Google

Digging bars are rubbish.
An ice spud bar - Google Search is what you need FTW.

EDIT didn't notice if it was mentioned but that shovel stuck in the palm is a trenching shovel - Google Search
