Robert -- I think your dilemma with the Troybilt is probably rather common. Jealousy/envy quickly sets in as soon as the replacement engine is started for the first time.
BGK -- I've been using a posthole digger in the garden for about 40 years. I plant all of my tomatoes, melons, and pumpkins by drilling about a 3-foot deep hole, and filling it with compost. I do the same with bushes, trees, rhubarb, etc., except I also dig out the top 10-12 inches to a 2-3 foot width.
It is still too cold and wet here to even use the greenhouse or hoop houses. Six to 12 inches of snow are forecast for tonight and tomorrow.
