Best PHD for CUT?

[donn12]

I have a Kubota B2920 and thanks to all the rain my fence is pushed over out back. What is a decent PHD? I would like the best value not the cheapest. Thank you!

Donn, if you're only going to use a PHD occasionally, even a "rude and crude" one like I bought at Tractor Supply a long time ago will probably last forever. If you have very hard or rocky soil or figure to go into the fencing business, maybe a better grade PHD would stand up to hard duty, but otherwise, most all of them work about the same.

i you want a real good digger get a bushhogg with a bear claw on the auger.you wont be dissappointed.

I was thinking about the TSC unit - looks pretty good!

Most PHD now a days use "Comer" or other Chinese gear boxes.With the exception of probably "Danuser and Beefco".
I think those TSC PHD are Speeco's.
Some auger lenghts 42" others 48".
TSC PHD come shipped dry,so whichever or whatever PHD you go with always check oil level(80/90) regardless of what dealer or salesman/woman tells you !
Make sure unit complete before you leave place of purchase(pins,pto shaft,guide bar if equip for one,protective covers, etc).

I bought the county line from TSC - cant beat it for $420! I also got a 9 and a 12 inch auger. It seems well built enough for everything I will need it to do (I will not be earning a living with it).

Augers look awful clean.
Where's the pics of the holes?

Looks like a great buy.

You might also consider renting a PHD, unless you foresee more usage in the future.

I just sold my TSC/Speeco that I have had used on larger tractors than I am using now. It is a perfectly fine nice PHD, but it does not fit my current JD 2520 CUT - I could never get it high enough out of the ground the way I wanted. This is due to the curved boom end. I have purchased the ETA (nice folks from my experience and I am in NC) Compact PHD - it is now on its way. Nowadays, there are several PHD on the market that best fit CUTs. Scott H.

I bought a Land Pride with my B2920 (smallest one, PD10) and have quickly learned I 1.) they are way overpriced, and2) the smallest one doesn't dig deep enough (factory auger). I now wish I had went ahead and got the TSC model....unless your doing commercial work or fencing 1000 acres, it plenty stout, and a heck of a lot cheaper.
