Had a great morning at Ron's 2nd annual ShowMe Cubfest. Here are some pictures:
Following day, had some shrubs to plant, so decided to use the digger before putting the tractor away:
Ten minutes later...
Rhododendron in the middle flanked by azaleas.

Stanton:
I like how you think with that Prewitt
Last October at Cecil's when I bought the PHD from Bill Hudson, I said to Em and Bill -- I will never dig another hole by hand to plant trees, shrubs or vines. Gonna use my head and use my PHD Seat Time
It sure makes short work of a labourious job doesn't it

Re: 2013 ShowMe Cubfest and Diggin' Shrubs
Man what a set up....I got rocky soil and a rickety back...I've been using a Mantis tiller to plant such critters....Are those hole digging machines readily available and about how much are they....I worked for a power company and have set a million poles , never realized they made a set up for a cub...Once again nice rig Dave

Re: 2013 ShowMe Cubfest and Diggin' Shrubs
Dave, the Prewitt post hole diggers are pretty rare. They used the same diggers on A, B, C, H,etc. with just minor changes to the mounting hardware. On a cub however it also needs the pto reducer/reverser, which is only slightly more common than hens teeth.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Dave:
As Stanton and John said, Prewitt's are very rare and haven't been made in a long time. When they do come up, they are not cheap to acquire and certainly do no look like Stanton's. There is at least 1 other Post Hole Digger out there that we have discovered.
Fast hitch post hole digger
Mark II Cub Post Hole Digger--- Pics Added
So we know for sure that Prewitt made Post Hole Diggers (aka Grosshart) and J and S foundry made them as well. This one is mine
