I borrowed a MF Model L post auger from someone to use with my Bobcat CT 2035 tractor. It seems to not use the top link of the 3pt hitch. I got it connected, but I can't lift it enough to get the auger off the ground. See the images. Has anyone had any luck getting one of these to work with a modern compact tractor? It seems like I need longer lift arms? I also thought about flipping it upside down, but I would have to remove the gear box and turn it the other way too. I am also wondering; even if I do get longer arms, or flipping it upside down works, it seems like the PTO shaft may not be long enough. They way it is sitting now, I would only have about 3" of overlap on the inner and outer shaft. At full height that would likely only be 1 or 2 inches.... would that be ok? I can't modify it to fit, otherwise I would conside shortening the top link. Has anyone dealt with something similar?
