Not everyone has the bucks to sink into specialized, new or almost new equipment. I'm glad you're rich apparently, but not everyone is. I think your post was highly insulting and more than a little elitist. [Reply]  [No Email]

The money simply doesn't exist. Does that make me stupid or just trash? We've been driving posts in spring with a maul or borrowed driver and digging them in with a shovel and post hole digger (hand type, not power) for years. We finally got a power post hole digger for the tractor after years of saving and you have the gall to come on like we're stupid trash? I think you got too far from the farm sir. [Reply]  [No Email]

But reading between the lines in your statement, "Glad I'm not so cheap or poor to have to take extra time and extra work which makes the job more expensive then using good tools in the first place.", certainly gives me the impression you're an elitist that can't grasp that some people have to get by with what they can afford.

And the number of people who risk everything to get here , start off with nothing . Then work hard and smart then become prosperous. Given the number of people I've seen born here with nothing and have done well. Plus the number of folk born into money and waste it away. I don't buy the I'm poor story. No problem with those who have had an occasional run of uncontrollable factors that have been a temporary setback. As long as they get back up and prosper. one of my Grandfathers work hard his whole life and nothing to show for it. Half starved my Mother as a kid , no warm clothes, no toys at Christmas and no medical/dental care. Old fool couldn't plan ahead or handle money. [Reply]  [No Email]

Personally for the amount of holes I dig the 3pt unit works like a charm. Would drive me nuts knowing I spent $2000 on a hydraulic digger only to have it sit in the corner of the shop for a year or more without use. [Reply]  [No Email]

Better investment than 1.5% bank interest on $2000. [Reply]  [No Email]

Hmmm The other day I put my digger on and drilled about 6 holes in a half hour. If a hydraulic one could have saved me an hour that means it would have reversed time. In that case I better go out and buy one ASAP. haha [Reply]  [No Email]

That being said, I need my hydraulic auger, for the speed, accuracy, not trying to start any fights, But since you asked, I have $1750, in the hyd auger, that includes a 6" auger, and a 30" auger. I have since picked up other augers, that fit it, never paid more than $200, for any of them! [Reply]  [No Email]

One farm can have sand, gravel, loam, clay, clay loaded with stones and swamp muck. Then add moisture varying from wet to dust if on low or high ground. Too much time wasted with broken shear bolts, augers that corkscrew in or won"t dig at all without down pressure. How do you add down pressure with your three point hitch digger? [Reply]  [No Email]

I paid 150 bucks for my PTO digger, I could leave the auger stuck in a hole and buy a new one multiple times for the the price of a hydraulic unit..... [Reply]  [No Email]
