Hey Fellas, It's been a while since I posted so How y'all been?
I have a question. Four or five months ago I posted asking about auger attachments and basically, we had all agreed that due to pricing on these things, it would just be better to rent one when I got a job to use it. Well, I've come across some 3 pt hitch/ pto driven augers that are somewhat affordable.
Most of what I found back then were all hydraulic and cost well over 2-3k $'s. Prices like that are out of the question for me at this time even though I feel the hydraulics would probably be far more powerful based on my itty bitty 21hp CK20. I am 99.5% satisfied with my CK20 but my questions are these:
Do y'all think my tractor will push this thing with ease? Here is the product:

It doesn't appear to be very power intensive so I'm thinking it'll be just fine. I'd like some opinions for you who have run these types of attachments before though.
My other question was about the maker, Leinbach. Anyone ever heard of Leinbach? Is it a decent brand name? Quality goods? Or is it junk just waiting to be left in the yard?
I've been in a position to get a lot of work from fencing guys in this area but they aren't willing to rent the auger and still pay my hourly price. I charge $35 an hour which isn't excessive here but they just wont agree to it. I also don't have the funds readily available to rent it myself and then wait on payment for the work.
Anyway, what do y'all think of these things?
