By any chance, do you recall where in NY this happened ? Thinking about that kind of implement, might have been a good thing that ours was stolen when I was a kid, hoping that the thief or whoever it was sold to got wrapped into it which is fitting but a terrible thing to wish upon someone. I don't like using those alone when dealing with hard soils, as you are apt to get drawn in whils't working on a difficult hole, possibly too close, get distracted by something, can happen to anyone. We use a 4x4 accross the top and are able to put some additional pressure with 2 people, one on each side, at a safe distance. For what they do as a tool, I think you are far better with a small 3 pt backhoe, 6'-8' depth range, a whole lot safer and a lot more useful. Fighting with a post hole digger that can bite back real hard, I don't see the logic, they work great in some soils but other types can be such a waste of time, frustrating and some real hard work. For the money, productivity, decreased hazards, there is a better tool for the job, costs more but works a whole lot better.
