The Scintex Hyd Assist PTO driven post hole digger is a well-constructed, heavily built machine. It requires experience with 3PL, PTO driven machines to hook up or dismount by one person, but can be done. The hyd assist similarly requires some getting used to but then really adds to the digging capability in tough conditions. Most times though the weight of the digger will be enough. Impressed by the relatively small effort it requires of the tractor to get the digging done (based on 12 inch holes 800 deep). Very happy with it.
