Has anybody used the red trap cookie cutter for their MB 550's? If so what did you think of it? Did the cutter take a beating from hammering it in to the ground? I've been thinking about spending the money and getting one to use this season and would like to hear some feedback from anybody who has used one. Thanks

I’m sure In the proper soil or conditions it would work great but didn’t have much luck. That's been my experience with it. It takes a considerable amount of effort to drive it into the ground where I'm at and I would up relegating it to the dust bin.

Gary I made one out of an air cylinder in 83 , I like mine pound it in and cut the ears out with your shovel and your done , sometimes I use the plug for a backing . What I see wrong with the ones you buy they are to heavy .

I make them out of well casing then weld on the ears. Problem isn't that they wont cut a bed in frozen ground. The problem occurs when its froze deeper then your cutter cuts.Not allowing the plug to come free. Sure there not for everyone but in the rite situation its awful quick and nice .Little to no disturbance.Were I feel they shine are blind and flat sets.If your mainly a d-holer no they wont speed you up. I found on dirtholes and trench sets a cutter just slows me down. Rocky or loose soil they are worthless! Sod or ag fields are were they shine.Flat sets in field roads are about the only place I drag mine out any more.

These may be a good deal some may say. However, I think it is just another piece of equipment you can do just as well with out. If you get good at digging with your trowel or small shovel and start small you can dig a bed just the right size with some practice. Work hard at getting the right size bed dug and in a few years it will just come natural. Less to carry in and less stuff to loose! Just my humble opinion!
