post hole digger. trying to get it to stand up while hooking it up can be very aggravating !

PHD (post hole digger) is my #2 least favorite. If the mmm is #1 with 100 points, the PHD is #2 with 99 points.

I built a chepo 2x4 stand for my PHD. Made all the difference in ease of installation

With a quick hitch and a hydraulic top link my rear implements are relatively easy. I've modified all of my 3ph implements to be quick hitch compatible.

The pain is the front mount snow blower. All the pto connections are in tight places and require finger strength that is getting reduced as I grow older. Installing everything when it's cold outside doesn't help either.

Seems to me that designing a pto collar pliars is a future project.

Please post numerous photos when you design those pto collar pliers!! That's surely one thing that I'd like to copy/have!! It's extremely hard to hold that collar back while holding up/pushing on the rest of the shaft. That will be a "Great" extra tool to have on hand!

Especially when your an over weight 74 year old, the pto shaft has to be quite short but I'll get it started on then back in the rest of the way. It may take two or three moves till I have enough shat to get it lined up and then one more little move to be able to attach it, then back in for the lift arms.

Here is mine. It is a 1x4 with half of a hole cut in the end with a 2½" hole saw.
