Rhino EPHD Posthole Digger

[error413]

Anyone owned one of these?

I have a chance to pick up one new for $500ish that's just been sitting in a shop all these years un-used. Just wondering if these are any good.

Also wondering what size augers they were generally rated for. i'd like to use an 18" auger for planting trees in sandy/loamy soil and run it behind my 57HP LS.

If anyone has had any experience with one, i'd love to hear from you. Was just about to buy a 6900 HD from EverythingAttachments with an 18" on it until I saw this. :?:

I have had one for about 10 years. No complaints.

I have one. Tax schedule says I bought it new in 1991 and paid $575.. Had quite a bit of use with no real problems. 12 inch bit.
Doesn't seem like it has sheared many bolts. I had been digging everything with jobbers before so it was a great improvement. I
think the seal in the bottom of the gear box would leak but just filled it with gun grease several years. Pretty simple machine.
