I'm going to be picking up a post hole digger this year for my 1026R. Does anyone have any tips on what to look for?
I looked at the Speedco unit at Princess Auto for $500 plus auger but it looked like it was built light weight. I looked at the Braber Equipment one at Peavy Mart for $700 plus auger, it looked much beefier than the Speedco. The Frontier is on sale for $1,150 but I don't know if that includes the auger, kind of pricey give the 9" auger at the other stores is $200, I never looked at it except in the flyer.
So other than the strength of the frame and tube and possibly the size of the gear box, is there anything a guy should look at?
