aww thanks Diana... you are much too kind.... so the part that I need to buy for the tractor is called a PTO? Is there different sizes?

No the part isn't a PTO, that's on the tractor. I don't know how much one would cost for a tractor, probably a pretty penny, but I would tell the clerk what you want and what for. They'll be glad to help you.

Janet's right. The PTO shaft if what turns the auger so it can dig the hole and there's not too many tractors that have that anymore. I imagine that the auger would be a lot more than you wanted to spend unless you could find a used one. Everything with tractors costs more than it should! I would probably call some tractor dealerships. They usually have a lot with used equipment and they could probably answer your questions and help you figure out what an auger might cost.

If not, the good two handle one does the job just fine. Gets you a little exercise and a feeling of accomplishment...(yeah right...LOLOL). It takes time, but don't do it when it's too wet (hard to dig mud) or too dry (hard as a rock.)
