Tiller Low cost, quality Tiller and Post Hole digger?

[Anonymous Poster]

I want a low cost, yet quality tiller and post hole digger that will fit on my compact JD4100 3pt hitch? Any ideas and cost? Your experience?

thanks,

There were some good dicussions on Post hole diggers recently, do a search on it in the archives, it was about 1 week ago that it was discussed.

I bought a post hole digger at tractor supply for about $500 including a 6" auger over a year ago. I have probably dug 100 post holes so far and it works fine.

The only problem is that the plastic flange on the PTO guard on the digger end hits the metal guard on the digger when the auger gets deep down into the hole. So I just pulled it back away from the end and it works OK.

I have a King Kutter 5' tiller and it works great. I bought mine at Quality (RIP) for $1100, but I'm pretty sure TSC sells them for about the same price. The only bad thing is the ugly yellow color!

TSC has post hole diggers for $350 and 12" augers for $110, so a total of $460. I was going to buy one, but I found a place that sells Lienbach post hole diggers, which I've heard good things about, for a total of $385. I'm planning on buying it in the next couple of weeks (they were all out last week).
