This past weekend my supervisor and I hooked up the PHD for the first time. We struggled a bit getting things hooked up, but finally had it ready. Susan dug the first hole, for an 8 foot post that will hold a gate. She had the biggest grin on her face you've ever seen when the hole was dug neat and quick as a whistle in less than a minute. We've spent a few hot, sweaty, hard working hours digging holes, and this is definitely a big improvement.
She hasn't had a chance to mow yet, so weekend after next it'll be her turn in the pasture. We've only got 10 hours on it, but it's a good 10 hours. The most important thing is that she likes it, and she does. Easy to drive and easy to use.
