5525 work out with stumps

[flusher]

Magyarbacsi,
Wow, that hole sounds small for a tree that size!
I have a Danuser hydraulic post hole digger I mount on my backhoe and have quick disconnects on the bucket curl lines. I can sit in the seat and use the bucket curl and dump controls to operate the post hole digger.
It sit me back around $1800 including a 9 and 12 inch auger.

I'm with you. Hydraulic PHD is the way to go even though more expensive than the pto-driven PHDs. Only in my case it'll be mounted on the side of the FEL bucket of my 5525 with the ML250 FEL. With this setup you can see what the PHD is doing, get downforce on the auger and, IMHO, work a lot safer.

Flusher,
I have seen the setup you mention. But backhoes dig down and have thousands of pounds of downforce, you don't have to look around a loader bucket to line up, and you can auger mutliple holes without moving the tractor.
How do you have your loader bucket PHD plumbed?
hugs, Brandi

Just guessing on the size of the dug out and it maybe bigger. I finally got pictures of the dig on my laptop and just have to figure out how to transfer and post here. I spend most of my time working with my hands and little time left to hone computer skills. Just enough to be able perform my job

I dont forsee having to drill a lot of post holes after the project is done. In fact, how many will be determined if we keep the horse. It's my 14 yr old's and who knows how long he will remain interested once he has to help with the finances. With the economy going down hill, having a horse may not be prudent, less we end up eating it. No, I would not. The holes will be for a fence so we can keep the horse on our property and not having to pay for boarding. So after some research, the Leinbach 7300 was a good candidate. I had the Mahindra over a year now and have only 20 hrs, so you can see that it is not used that much. Just for back hoe and FEL work. The Massey is still the main work horse.
