I have a Leinbach, it has done OK. Don't use it a whole lot, but every time it bottoms a hole I am very glad to have it. They are not real heavy duty. When operating one of these (or any of them really) keep helpers away and sit on the tractor with your hand on the PTO clutch or kill switch. If the digger catches on a root or muddy soil and begins to corkscrew, the normal reaction is to pull up on the lift. This is wrong because if the auger doesn't come free, either the front of the tractor will come up or you will bend the beam on the digger. Best to kill power going to the auger and assess the situation rather than trying to jerk it out while it is turning. Worst than can happen if you stop it is you unhook from PTO and back it out with a wrench on the shaft. Much better than turning over or bending the beam.
