Well Tim , that's the difference between you and I . I've always been a hands-on kinda guy . I'd much rather do it myself than pay some jackleg to f*ck it up and still end up doing it RIGHT myself . I work on my own car , my own motorcycles , I'm building my own house and since I have a well-equipped machine shop with 4 different kinds of welders I do that stuff for myself too - and others , if I like them . The end result of doing for myself is a massive collection of tools , money in the bank that I didn't pay someone else , and a great deal of personal satisfaction . BTW , I worked in many aspects of construction over the years , retired as a master cabinet maker . I'm the guy that built the $35,000 reception desks with exotic wood inlays and curved sections .

The thing about this unit is that it's uncontrolled gravity feed . By the time I finished my 8th hole I had it figured out . You brace your leg under the torque rod and pull the thing out of the ground far enough to clear some dirt from it every few inches . Takes some of the load off and makes it much easier to control . Here's a link to the ad for this unit:

Rent one that fits the 3pt hitch of the little tractor. Ot would take quite a root to throw a little Kubota or an old Ford 8N

(along with the older 9N and 2N) In running condition they still command a pretty decent price.
