Thinking on a PHD, $1000, with Auger and free delivery, no one delivers to my area FREE, no matter what they say. Shipping companies always want the EXTRA Charge ! I got a quote from a guy on Craig's List, 30+ hole, for $750, one day operation stated by Operator... could do two days with rented Skid Steer PHD and Augers for only $250 more if we do the weekend... $1000.00 !?!
Thinking it has to be easier to have someone else do the holes for less than buying the equipment and all the labor and headaches of working PHD on a Max 28.

FWIW, Tractor Supply offers a couple PHDs and lots of augers, one of them on sale this weekend, and they're a LOT less expensive than a K-buck.

I have one of their County Line models and it works well until I hit a rock. If I had a hydraulic cylinder for it to apply down force, that problem would probably be addressed. The best setup for digging post holes is a skid steer or track loader with a drill attachment, or a PHD that would mount on the FEL of a tractor. Probably be at least a K-buck to rent one for a weekend, though.

First time this year temp reach 80F...82F but the wind not enough to keep blackflies away.

Friend call this morning said you need to come over and take look at this sooo I did,well there he stood next to fully restore painted etc. JD 630 narrow front end he trailer home late this morning. :thumbsup: I ask what did your wife think of your new tractor and he said..."she doesn't know I bought just went to look at"

"she'll be home couple hours" :shocked: I made sure pickup tires were headed down the road well before she arrive home... JD and Kubota MX sure colorful site

This afternoon been slow motion day and the evening looks like no change :confused3: set on the deck around sunset listen watch what mother nature has to offer and enjoy smooth cigar.

Enjoy the evening all.

Hot down here. Decided to focus on the above ground pool's pad yesterday. Probably used almost 3/4 of a bob tail load of sand. (8-10 cu yards). It looks like a nice landing pad for a flying saucer.

I had 2 of the kids out there until 10:30 pm to get it finished. They were getting to be a bit whiny until we got close to finishing and then they got motivated. 9 and 13 year olds...

Now, its about 94F outside, and they are hounding me to set up the pool. I told them in a couple of hours once the sun goes down a bit.

Why is it when it looks mostly cloudy, that you have about 90% sun beating down on you and maybe 10% shade???

My young son found an old box I have my G. I. Joes and Major Matt Mason stashed in. He's been having fun with them.

Jay, I don't know what I'd do if I had a good sized bear running around on my place. Good thing you have a St. Bernard instead of a chihuahua. I'd be packing some "heat" and keeping the kids inside.

Got garden pond cleaned. But shortly after that it started raining. Did up a bowl of popcorn and watched Indy 500. Good race.

So far, an on and off rainy day, so mud in my trench, tomorrow is another day.

Have a prime rib on the Primo doing a slow cook. Will throw on some seasoned corn on the cob and white sweet potatoes.

Sounds yummy.

sodamo, what are 'white sweet potatoes'?

RoyJackson · May 26, 2019

Nice day...other then a passing shower, no rain.
We cooked out...the others had grilled steak or burgers, I had Portobello mushroom sandwiches and potato salad.
No work done today...just a lazy Sunday!
