Not sure if it's available in Australia or not, but Bush Hog post hole diggers are excellent. My first digger was a Ford and it finally wore out. Last fall I purchased a new Bush Hog unit and it is excellent. I like it much better than I did the Ford. It was VERY dry here last fall and I had to dig some holes for corner posts. Even the dealer I bought it from told he didn't feel I could dig the holes till we got some moisture in the soil, but it dug them all with no trouble. Very good unit. My second choice would be Danuser brand.

Nothing to do with farming, but a tip of the hat to you folks down under. My father was in the Army in WWII and spent some time in Australia, and became acquainted with some Australian soldiers. My father always said everyone was very good to him and he thought very highly of your country and your people.

Kermit,

Thanks for the feedback. I've been a reader of the forum for awhile, but this is my first occcasion to participate. Based what I've read on the forum, Bush Hog seems to be the 'Cadillac' of post hole diggers. I may be able to get one through a dealer in New Zealand. I'm aware of the Bush-Hog brand. In the states the term 'Bush Hog' usually means any brand of large rotary mower pulled with a tractor. When I use the term 'Bush Hog' over here, no one knows what I'm talking about. The Australians use the term 'slasher'.

I don't want to mis-represent myself as being an Ozzie. I'm a transplanted Texan that came over here in 1995 on a six month job for Texas Instruments. One thing led to another, now I have a wife, 2 horses, 3 dogs, and house sitting on 10 acres. They obviously treated me pretty well. I'm still a US citizen and always will be.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Ted

Ted, Bush Hog is indeed a very good brand. Most people do think of the rotary brush cutters when you mention the name "Bush Hog". Bush Hog makes other implements also. Danuser is also a very good post hole digger. If you can't get the Bush Hog get a Danuser. Can't go wrong with either one. They are very similar to each other. I went with the Bush Hog due to a dealer closer to my location and a better price, but would not be scared to purchase a Danuser. Good luck.
