I am still looking for a post hole digger but have not been able to find a nice used one. Here is a recent thread that I started discussing various units:
http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/170134-post-hole-digger-auger-bit.html
Since I have not found a nice used one nearby, I am considering buying a new one from Tractor Supply (County Line brand) or a Leinbach L7300 - either one is around $580 with 9" auger bit. The tube frame and gearbox for each of these look quite different, and I was wondering if anyone could comment on the quality of the two so that I can make a purchase soon. Just looking at pics online, the gearbox on the Leinbach looks like some of the more expensive PHD's (i.e. Woods, Land Pride, Bush Hog), but it does not have the arched boom like the TSC model.
I would love to buy a Woods from the dealer for $1000, but I don't see that it is justified for my usage.
Thanks for any help!
