When you’ve got fence to build or posts to set, there’s no substitute for a good post hole digger. This standard duty unit takes the backbreaking work out of digging holes and lets you punch perfect holes from the comfort of your tractor seat. With its 60-inch boom and adjustable positioning, you can tackle fence lines, sign posts, or whatever project needs clean, straight holes.
What You’re Getting
- 60-inch boom gives you the reach to dig holes without constantly repositioning your tractor
- Three boom positions let you adjust the unit to work with different sized tractors and tight spots
- 2-inch round drive system delivers reliable power transfer to your auger
- 45 HP gearbox rating handles the torque needed for digging through tough soil and clay
- Series 1 driveline keeps things simple and affordable for smaller operations
Built for Real Farm Work
This digger hooks up to any Category 1 tractor with a 1-3/8 inch 6-spline PTO. It’s the same type of digger that works with PHD5000 and PHD6500 models, making it a proven design for farm use. Whether you’re running a compact utility tractor or a mid-size row crop machine, this unit will get the job done on fence projects, building construction, or setting up cattle handling equipment.
Made to Last
Standard duty doesn’t mean lightweight—it means built right for typical farm use without the premium price of heavy-duty models. The gearbox is rated for up to 45 HP, so it won’t bog down when you hit packed clay or root-filled soil. The boom construction handles the stress of repeated digging without flexing or wearing out prematurely.
Good to Know
You’ll need to buy augers separately—this unit accepts standard 6-inch, 9-inch, and 12-inch augers with 2-inch round drives. Start with sharp augers for best results, and keep your PTO speed around 540 RPM for optimal digging performance. If you’re new to post hole diggers, practice in softer ground first to get a feel for how the unit handles.
