Anyone have an opinion? Pros and Cons? Although less powerfull, it seems like the hand held might be easier to maneuver.
I don't have a lot of digging planned. I'm going to dig probably 8 holes for a pole barn and a couple dozen more for fencing. I am concerned now, after reading other folks' experiences, about the thing yanking out of my hands if I hit an obstruction. I mean, I would like to be able to get by spending $300 instead of $600 - $800 for a 3 Pt model but it's not worth dislocating my shoulder :ashamed:
I would recommend trying to rent one if at all possible. Try checking with local tool and equipment rental companies. If you have very limited use you might be able to save quite a bit of money that way. I know there is a rental company near me that rents out a couple tractors and they have a 3pt post hole auger available.
