I've seen these and they look pretty nice. I am thinking of modifying the PHD I have to accomplish the same thing. The PHD I have has a 3' control bar off the gear box to allow applying pressure and controlling the auger. I would prefer to not have anyone holding onto the unit. ....

I don't know about price, but if it is more than about $100 it's too much. It is just a small cylinder with a couple of brackets to expand the joint between two moving parts, creating the down force. The cylinder looks remarkably like the ones used to lift the snowplow on a pickup truck, I know from experience they are $50 retail.
Best of luck. ....

I will have to look that one up but I know a 2" x 8" Prince 2,500 psi "Implement cyclinder" is regularly $62 and is in a sale flyer this week for $54 at the farm supply place nearby.
The snowplow cylinders are less than that because they are only 2,000 psi plain end cylinders.
Best of luck. ....
