Leinbach PHD and CK20?

[crabjoe]

Does anyone know whether a Leinbach 7200 or 7300 PHD will fit properly on the CK20?

I have a 7200 with a 9" auger and used it successfully with my CK20.

I've used a 7200 JR w/ a 9" auger for a couple of years on a CK25. As I recall, the "JR" was made for compact tractors. Anyhow, I've put in a lot of vineyard posts with it and it has performed well

ERE,

WOW, I can't believe you're using the JR on a CK25.


Bearhawk,
The 7200 or 7300 are the ones I'm really interested in and you've used the 7200. Can you tell me is you had any clearance issues with it, as in the augar point being to close to the ground?

Thanks.

Well, it does travel really close to the ground. If you aren't careful it will catch when transitioning to a slope from level ground.

I did find it was a lot easier to use if you started the hole by hand first. Just an inch or two to keep the bit from walking around.
