Well, how about the post hole digger? Not enough GPM to use that...or a Brush Brute I would guess either. And I agree on the spear...round bales can be very heavy.

MacMillen lists a model that will drive an 18" auger with a minimum flow of 6gpm. I have a customer who has worn out a MacMillen 12" auger hung off a 16LA loader on a TC35D. It takes a lot of drilling to wear out a MacMillen auger.
Shaver lists a unit for 5-10 GPM flow with up to a 14" auger.
New Holland and Virnig list models for 10 gpm systems that likely perform well in the real world with 8 GPM which most NH Class III compacts can deliver to remotes easily. Every one of these augers are universal SSL mount.
It's not like you need a skid steer with high flow hydraulics to drill post holes, although there are certainly units out there that can and will use high flow rates.
A Brush Brute is a glorified root rake. They make wide ones for big tractors and small ones for small tractors. I don't know what else to say about them.
