Good try, lol
Ted and Travis, I finally got to use my EA auger. Very nice tool! Thank you so much for a well built product and friendly, attentive customer service. I look forward to purchasing a Wicked 72" long tine grapple next spring and hopefully an EA land leveler shortly there after. I understand you are a growing company experiencing typical pains associated with the business model and operational follow through that you find best works for your forecasted goals. I will be in touch to best strategize when to purchase so that delivery works around both your and my time constraints. Best wishes, Steve.
Full disclosure: When young, when I became cross or whiney, the folks would hang a "Sugar Tit" (sugar sewn in a cloth triangle and hung from the ceiling with string). This was usually in the corner where I was standing while being punished. When this punishment was out-grown, my father would administer a laxative when I became whiney, moody or otherwise out-of-sorts. This worked well also. Finally, I grew up and married and when I start in on complaining or being negative, she calls me "Negative Nancy". This usually shuts me right up and forces me to realise that not everyone wants to hear my rants. I mellow.

Asking an equipment question (partially out of curiosity, and partially for future reference): on the EA disk harrows are there recommended torques for the gang axles? (Specifically ETA-XD-LG-BF-DH-20-18)
Looking at other manufacturer's recommendations the trend seems to be that the recommended torque values are close to (or aligned with) the recommended torque values for grade 2 bolts of the same diameter.
While (from my understanding) everything should be tight enough that the pans ring when struck I'd rather not get to the point where I'm causing damage because something else has gone awry.

Very true.
Though in my case, if I can't get there that day (or even the next) I'm also not going to be around to accept a delivery. Which is why I try to plan ahead when ordering large items ....and then hope that an unexpected trip related to my full time employment doesn't pop up. Thankfully, that's become less frequent than it used to be, and when it does happen it tends to only be a few of days. Though if I end up paying extra fees because of one of those.... well, it is what it is as there are some things that take precedence over my own needs/desires.

Re: I was attacked by EA staff and customer fan base - You Tube
It certainly is a loooong and overly drawn out story, that probably could have been told in under 10 minutes.
That said: The guy certainly makes some very valid points,........ he will likely now receive more hateful piling on.
Per lilranch2001 we now have another ....."little girl".

Surely, you should be able to figure that one out!

Travis,
I’m looking for a post hole digger for my JD 2025R. Bout the size of a 2601. I’ve watched all of Teds videos. He almost says which one he prefers for a B series then gets sidetracked. So which one do you guys suggest? The compact or subcompact. I see they are the same price. Most likely I’ll use it for setting 4x4s in concrete for a shed addition to barn and some deck post repair.

In my opinion Travis needs to man up and satisfy unhappy customers. Just good business practice and I would take it offline and make a phone call. Letting fanboys do the attacking in a public forum is not professional.

you must play the part of daffy duck, or if not played, maybe you were where it was developed from

My Wicked 55" Grapple has shipped! It is shipping way ahead of schedule (5 week mark not the 8 week mark). Looks like it will hit the local truck depot on Monday or Tuesday and then I will make arrangements to get it picked up. I'm excited! Looking forward to putting it to good use.

I've always been told that it's preferred to tighten them as much as you can, after the first 30-45 minutes of use and then periodically after that.
I do not know of a recommended torque spec.

Concerning our B Series and your 2025R, one could really go either way. Our Land Shark Subcompact PHD comes with a 36" length auger. One complaint about tractor post hole diggers is their tendency to get stuck in difficult soil. The subcompact model features a shorter boom, which keeps the auger closer to the tractor and increases the tractor's lifting ability in difficult soil. This greatly lowers the likelihood of getting it stuck.
We've sold our EA Compact PHD for B Series/2000 series Deere tractors, and smaller, for years. It features a 48" long auger as well as a longer boom to ensure sufficient ground clearance.
Here's an illustration. It shows a "normal" sized unit with a longer boom and our subcompact model on a BX tractor.
ALL of our post hole diggers for Category 1 tractors ship FREE to your home via FedEx Ground within 1,000 miles of Newton, NC.

Thanks for the reply. Guess I’ll just have to decide. I’m still on the fence and looks like there’s not one that is clearly better than the other in my situation. I think the landshark will be best. And can you request it in yellow instead of orange still?
