Posthole Digger Show Me How You Store Your PD....

I built this little stand out of salvaged PT, works for me. This PHD is heavy and I don’t want to lie it down when not in use. Much easier on the back this way.

I just auger into the ground about a foot and disconnect.

I like the idea, but wouldn't it rust the auger?

I assume by "PD" you mean posthole digger (AKA PhD*)?

I use mine infrequently so I take it apart to store it. I take the auger off and separate the PTO shaft and drivebox from the arch. It's three bolts. Then I have three pieces that I can carry by myself and they all lie flat. I just stack them in the corner of the garage.


(* I like to tell people I have three PhD's. When they ask me what they're in, I tell them the two hand ones are in the tool shed and the 3pt one is in the tractor shed.)

Mine's an old dinosaur, so weight is an issue....

Both of these are essentially what I had in mind.... I suppose I'll have to make my own. :thumbsup:
