bx2660 and post hole digger

[drg1]

Hey come drive that thing on out to missouri, Ive got plenty of holes that you can use that on!

I have a Taylor Way post hole digger 12" auger that was on a B3200. Hooked it up to nephews BX2360 and drilled a few holes. It was sitting about 4"s off the ground so we installed my cheap QH's to extend it further back which raised it several more inches off the ground so I can now testify to the fact that it will work. Here's pictures for proof that are only 30 minutes old or less. One picture with it on B3200. Going down hill or on flat land should be no problem. He was going up hill so it got closer. Steep uphill may require backing up. No problem with power of tractor. Only issue is dragging ground.

It'll work fine as long as you realize what you have. It will stop you, but just raise it up a little, and continue on your way. I was debating between the 4' and 5', and am happy I went with the 5'.:thumbsup:

Hmmmmm! Very interesting comment. I guess I'll have to get mine put back together so I can post a picture of my full sized unit with an 18" extension on it. At first, I was a little taken aback by this statement, but then again, I also am skeptical of things that cannot be proven. John Thomas said he wouldn't believe I had implements stacked 5 high unless I posted a picture. Wonder whether he believes me now?

I don't remember saying that, not denying, just don't remember. As far as proof (you know what I'm talking about) you do know that pictures can be altered. But, having seen your pictures as proof, I have faith that you didn't alter them. I now believe and will testify, with the disclaimer that I'm testifying based on pictures and not actually seeing in person, that TomH can and has stcked implements 5 high. I will also add that he's one smart and industrious worker and that I'd love to sit down with him in his garage one day, after studying it in depth (his garage) and discuss his past, present and future and my past, present and future.
I told my nephew that he had to stop by the house so I could get pictures that there was an ongoing discussion about the PHD fitting on a BX. I didn't think mine would and I never jumped in the conversation until I saw it with my own eyes. If I had given an opinion about mine fitting/not fitting a BX before I saw it with my own eyes, I would have been wrong. I now can testify that a Taylor Way PHD will fit on a BX2360 or one specific BX2360. I'd tell it as witnessed fact. It is still to close to the ground when traveling so I'll recommend getting one for a BX.

Hmmmm, I can't find any links or attachments..............

 

[asylum575]

There is a pretty good video on PHD's on everythingattachments.com I think they call out a special unit for BX series.

This was the 4th post on this topic.
I went to www.everythingattachment.com
There are 3 or 4 videos. Pretty good.

I guess everyone was being too sensitive and missed the post that actually helped.

Personally, I find it awkward to drive my BX, carrying my posthole diggers. I usually just carry them myself or haul 'em over in the trailer. Holding on to two wooden handles and trying to operate the BX is not a skill I've quite mastered yet.

Actually, I've read along and learned quite a bit. My neighbor John has one and I can use it anytime. Just wanted to study up before bothering to borrow it.

Oh, and BP (Frederick) Fick is my real name and I live in Beaver Creek, MI.

I have a landpride PD10 (9" auger). I bought it for two reasons. Planting and Deck post piers. I used it to drill four holes 24" deep to plant 10-15gal holes. They needed to be cleaned up; but a lot better than digging it by hand. 1 gallon plant, are quick and super easy. Last week I used it to drill 18 piers for deck project. 9" hole x 30" deep, manually cleaned up hole to 10" diameter and put quicktubes in for forms. Saved hours.

The unit itself is built tough. I wish I had the down force option as when it hits clay, I have to let it run a bit and bounce it up and down till it pokes through. Then it dives into the ground.

Summary, I love it and won't be selling it. Got off Craigslist for 600.

Other implements (circa 2006):
54" Lpride Boxblade: lots us use.
48" Kubota Rototiller: 20 minutes of use (too many rocks in our soil)
60" Lpride backblade: 2 hours of use (box blade was much easer to use).

Hope this helps

I have a BX24 and am looking at the Landpride PD15 for it, do you think there would be any problem using a 12" auger bit.

No. The one in my pictures is a 12" auger bit.

Just received the TSC flyer.

Their Countyline PHD is down to $420. 12" bit is $145 total $565

Everything attachments is $590 with free shipping.

It's about a wash pricewise, I'd go with the Leinbach.
