Post-hole augers on Cat 2 tractors

[Branchchipper]

Anyone know of post-hole auger brands out there (cat 1 or 2) with larger "geometry" to allow PTO-shaft clearance on larger tractors? I have an older auger (unk. brand) that works just fine on a MF135D, but because of the height of the arch above the lower links, does not allow proper shaft clearance on an L5030hst. This is not a PTO-shaft length issue, and the arch is adjusted out to the max... (the L5030's 3-pt dimensions are simply wider and taller, aside from the cat 2 pins).

My nephew and I set about 50 posts two weeks ago with a Cat1 Danauser PHD and used a Cat2 95hp McCormick and it worked fine. We just narrowed the TPH arms to hook to the PHD and although the pins on the digger was small, it worked just fine.
