I am contemplating building a hydraulic posthole digger, the only one I can find similar is this one; NorthStar Hydraulic Earth Auger — 270cc Honda GX Engine | Auger Powerheads, Bits + Extensions | Northern Tool + Equipment + Acreage>Auger Powerheads, Bits + Extensions&cm_cat=Google&cm_ven=Aggregates
Now they say their pump is a single stage , 6 gal/min
I am thinking of using a 2 stage logsplitter pump, cheaper and I would think if the digging is good, you would want it faster?
Any help is appreciated, I have never dealt with hydraulics so.........
also what motor should I look at?
I am thinking I will build it so that it can attatch to the back of my truck , in the hitch, maybe I will add two more recievers , one on each side of the hitch.
I want power down as well so I will need advice on valving.
thanks,
dave
