I've seen a few other PHD stands here and most fall into the category of either "hang it up" or "drill a hole in the ground". I threw together one that combines both. The auger fits into a 2 1/2" hole I cut through a couple of 4x6s. The hitch pins rest on a 4x4 with a couple of decking screws to keep them from sliding forward or backward. The wheels are 4" casters with external brakes and rubber tires that do a great job of holding the setup in place.
Most of the stand was constructed from lumber left behind by the house's previous owner. I spent about $85 on the casters (castercity.com) and probably another $15 or so in bolts.
To attach the PHD to the tractor I support the front of the PHD with a couple of 4x4s under the hitch pins. I'd like to integrate that into the stand; I'm thinking some sort of flip out legs, but haven't given it a lot of thought yet. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
