[QUOTE="Aussiedigs, post: 514110, member: 15108"] Fluff, not really mate and i get where you are coming from. Ive seen the full on leaf spring units and i think they are just too much overkill. I wanted to avoid using spring of such thick dia hence trailer spring. I will be making a plough disc pick once i get ahold of a disc but they are hard to come buy especially if you dont want to pay the earth for one. The trailer leaf spring is lighter duty compared to full car spring but heavier duty than plough disc material. The handle is 36 ATM but im sure will be shortened when i find a length im happy with. Im finding the original pick too small/short. It would be fine for shallow diggings but for depth i needed to upgrade.
