Homemade post hole digger

[Bison]

Wanted to bring this one back for more discussion.

I've been considering lately building one for my skid steer. However, I was thinking of using a hydraulic motor.

Anyone ever build one with a hydraulic motor vs shaft driven?-- Joe

Scroll down a page or two,i got one in there and so did some one else

Nice build. I have a home made one that was built using a 9" Ford rear end. Its got a 3.73 gear ratio. Just took out one of the axles and welded a plate over it for the top end of the gear box. Used the other axle on a shortened tube to attach the auger.

Nice job on the digger build.

The draw backs of a 3 point hitch PTO digger are IMO are, one can't reverse rotation and can't put down pressure on the bit with the 3 point.

Only some belarus tractors seem to have that abillity in the latter.

I have a 1960 Massey Ferguson that has reverse on the PTO. M-H 204 hydrualic Reverse O Matic trans.
Although I don't have a PHD to try it on I would say if I took the free wheel PTO adapter off , in theory it would reverse the PTO.
Nice build BTW
