So I mounted the post hole auger on the tractor this weekend for the first time. It was a bit of a struggle. Does anyone have a picture of a stand you're using to make this a bit easier.

3 point with PTO or FEL mount with hydraulic motor?

How do you guys like the PTO post hole augers? I am kicking around the idea of getting one. I've read mixed reviews on them.

I just drilled a hole about halfway down for my danuser phd (the thing is VERY heavy) and unhooked it and leave it there. When I want to use it I just back up to it and hook it back up. There must be a problem with this because I always see people building elaborate contraptions but so far it has worked for me.

I dislike mine. The FEL option has some advantages. Down Pressure is a big help in hard ground. The other advantage is being able to go forward and reverse. The biggest thing is how easy the FEL models are to hook up compared to the 3 point with PTO. I would not buy another one unless it was hydraulic and mounts on the FEL. My 2 cents.
