The easiest way to leave a PHD is to back under a shelter, or outside out of the way, drop it down, dig it down about 2 feet, stop and unhook it standing in the ground. Be right there ready to hook up to the next time that it is needed.

I bought a Leinbach with 12" auger back in '95 for about $450. I have worn out the "cutting edge" and called Leinbach. They send me replacement for about $20.
Does not have clutch. Have not sheared the pin, yet /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I don't know how many holes I dug but I do use it to break up small plots by boring several holes close together and easing forward and back while boring.
Boy does it beat a "trench wrench" or hand operated PH digger.

I do not like the idea of leaving the unit buried in the ground. That will create rust in a hurry around my neck of the woods. Mine hangs by chain from beam under edge of the shed.
