Aquabird,
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the financial train wreck Everything Attachments went thru a short time ago and the resulting non delivery of numerous paid for orders. Left a bad taste with many members here. I bought box blade years before trouble began but will not ever ever EVER buy from them again due to what looked, to me, to be extremely poor customer relations by the business owner.

what's going on at this company. Employees laid off and Travis no longer there ! they once made good American made attachments, but something isn't right here

3PH post hole digger has limitations when compared to FEL mounted hydraulic auger. 3PH rotate only one direction so unable to reverse and back auger out of hole like hydraulic can when binding up on clay, rocks, or roots.
FEL mounted auger can exert massive amounts of down pressure whereas the 3PH relies only on the screw tip to pull auger in.
There are lots of threads here where the FEL vs 3PH auger has been beat to death and you will find many of them include the problem with getting the 3PH stuck in hole and then having to detach the auger and then either twist it out with long pipe wrench or dig it out with shovel.
Safety while using FEL auger vs 3PH auger is another significant benefit. The sight path while lining up to drill and drilling with FEL is much better than 3PH.
I have been very happy with the following auger and run everything up to a 30" dia auger and 36" Tree planting auger using the
M59 tractor.
Once you have the 3rd function on the FEL you will find it very useful for other SSQA attachments
