Switched from hand digging to a mini excavator for post holes and I'm never going back

Used to dig every post hole by hand with a clamshell digger, took me like 20 minutes per hole on a good day. Got a Toro Dingo last spring after a job in St. Louis where the clay was so hard I almost quit. Now I can knock out 30 holes in an afternoon with zero back pain. Anyone else made the switch and felt like they wasted years breaking their back?

Did you see that review where a guy said the Dingo was useless for digging?

Dingos are skid steers, not mini excavators.

Had a buddy rent a Dingo thinking it was a mini excavator for a fence job. Took him an hour to realize he couldn't dig any holes with it.
