Earth drill for point foundations - which diameter is good?

In the cemetery operations, we have the Stihl bt 131. Almost 900 including tax. The people are very satisfied with the device.

Exactly what I mean. That is still significantly more than four times the price. Then there are some for €500. I like to rely on high-quality tools, it makes life easier. But is it really "worth it" for a few holes in the private garden? That's why I also considered the second-hand market.

The problem with devices like the Stihl is that they are used commercially; that's what they are made for. Used also means worn out. So we really run them almost to the end. So "used very good" is a narrow margin for something like that. The first customer is usually a professional. How good cheaper devices are, I don’t know. With 120 urn holes and some more for stakes and such, a machine like that runs almost every week with us, so we don’t buy anything cheap. A Stihl lasts 10 years here. Karsten

The argumentation is understandable. Thank you for that.

A professional landlord is also not a real alternative. They charge around 40-50€ per day for the machine and drill. The hole also needs to be concreted or planted, so that quickly adds up to its own machine.

There is still plenty of time, just keep your eyes open. Or Changeling buys a Stihl, which is not yet used up by him.

What are 200€ for such an attika device, when you install metal fences for several thousand euros? And for 150€ you can also get rid of the device again. In the end, the device cost 50€, a joke for the saved work...

That is undisputed. The question now was rather whether it also "pays off" to move up to the better class for the private garden.
