Hi' a couple of year ago I needed post hole digger for my tractor, Bought a cheap used one that was laying berried in the grass covered in mud all the oil had run out through the breather in short just dumped behind a shed left to rot, The support frame faired better as it was occasionally used as a lifting jib and stored in the shed.
These post hole diggers are heavy and awkward to fit on your own especially at near on 70 years old with a stuffed shoulder, after cleaning replacing bearings and a couple of seals put it to work, then had the task of removing it and storing it , laying it on the ground in my shed
takes up space and is just as heavy and awkward. So I built a frame with a three point pick up on the back that holds the post hole digger securely upright with the frame still attached just need to reverse in to the frame lock the auger shaft in to the frame then disconnect the drive then lower the frame remove the pins and that's it, the frame has facilities for two more augers, a spud bar narrow clean out shovel an axe, it's on wheels so can be moved around the shed if I need the space.
I had intended on making a wire spinner on the back as it would keep all the fencing gear together on the tractor so it could all be taken to the job site on the one frame, see the photos how it all works, probably better than I can describe it.
Right now it's for sale as I can no longer physically operate the tractor, that's the reason I have the photos, for the listing.
Regard's.
