Great news, welcome to the PT family. You mention you got the 14 inch auger, what will you be doing with it? Any plans on more augers of different sizes?

well i have several very hilly areas thats a real pain to grow grass and mow so will be pleanting some smal shrubs there about 50 or so and hate post hole diggers i doubt if i get any other size auger if i need a bigger hole then i just dig several in a triangle or square and take out the middle but i did get out on the hill i thought might be an issue and the beast climbed right up it no problem so i think itll do just fine for me here and by the way any one living in virginia .......very nice folks there not just at power trac but everyone i met there and its good to be a member of the family here

Congratulations! The auger is something I would like to get eventually, let us know how it works. I've done quite a bit of digging and am glad I got the small bucket with teeth. Are you going to do mostly hauling loose material with the large bucket? db

jol1269 · Oct 7, 2003

i do have alot of loose material to move ...mulch gravel and some sand but i have used the big bucket and found it digs as well as the smaller bucket so far of course i dont have any big rocks and we have had alot more rain this year than past 5 so i expect the ground will be alot harder to dig when it gets bone dry and hard as mexican bricks when the drought starts back ill have to re think it then lol i really thought about the mower but not sure if the back wheels on it are heavy enough and the inflated front ones ive read are an issue , i have a scag commercial mower i just need to see if the wheels might work on the mower from pt and figure out how or what to change the back wheels to maybe a bigger heavy nylon type of wheel /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
