new toy

Well one thing for sure, "you're not in New Hampshire" ! 9" okay, but around here that is how deep we go before hitting a major rock!

I was surprised I did not hit rocks, roots and lots of other things..........did hit one at 3' though, thought the thing was stuck..............

I rented one once and was scared at how fast the 12 inch auger dug holes in my soil. Took about 15 seconds to bore a 12 inch x 36 inch deep hole. Of course I have a foot of top soil over sand and now dig most of my holes with a hand post hole digger unless I have a bunch to dig.

my dad had this lifter thingy? NAME, and we put 2 2 x 4s to form a beam, worked great.

Lifter thingy = Chain hoist, good idea.

thanks milkman, I could not remember what it was called. That was one dad used to lift riding mowers when he got them to work on.. He would be so glad I found a use for it.
