Hooked the post hole digger up for the first time with the 5240. Sure was nice to be able to watch it dig and control the pto speed with my foot vs. the hand throttle. Drilled at a slow speed then sped it up while raising to clean the hole out.
Huge difference over my b7500 where I would cross under the steering wheel and try varying the speed with my left while raising with my right looking backwards. The extra lift helped too without much worry of drilling itself in and getting stuck.
YMMV.
