How to connect the post hole digger
It’s quite straight forward – but keep an eye on:
The post hole diggers have an inner boss on the pins – it’s kind of like a big washer that’s part of the casting. See pic below.
If the post hole digger and hitch aren’t properly aligned you’re likely to get the hook caught on this boss, and then the hydraulics don’t fully engage.
Solution:
– Make sure the hitch is lined up with the attachment before trying to hook it up
– When hooking up the first pin give it a little wiggle to ensure the attachment pin drops fully into the hitch hook.

How Our Hire Rates Work
Same Day Saver – Hire Rate for any hire that starts and finishes on the same day.
More than one day – All days charged at same day rate until weekly rate applies.
Weekend – Pickup Saturday am and return Monday between 6.00am 7.00am.
– 8 hours use per weekend.
Is this fair – we think so; you have 2 days to do your job and we keep our hire rates fair for those with small jobs – and those who have bigger jobs and need more hours are charged extra for the extra machine wear and tear.
If you have a larger job, it may be more economical to collect Friday afternoon and pay for 2 days – which includes 16 hours use.
NOTE:
Friday after 4.00pm pick up and return Saturday before 5.00pm is always 24 hour hire rate.
Friday pick up anytime and return Monday before 7.00am = 2 x same day.
Week – 7 day week
More than one week – Days over 1 week: 20% of weekly rate (i.e. week rate divided by 5).
Month – calendar month
Hour Metre Items – 8 hours per day/weekend, 40 hours per week, 160 hours per month; extra charges apply
