This is a simple one i built. I can now move it with my tractors forks and can easily attach it... PLUS it was CHEAP top build with scrap wood. Mines a Speeco with hydraulic assist . ...

Is your digger a facory original or did you add the cylinder to it?
How well does it work and what kind of ground do you dig in?

I used the corner of my pole building. I put a 4 foot 4x4 diagonally on top of two girts at the corner and fastened it to the girts with screws. The girts are about 6 feet high. Then used a 1/4" chain, with a hook, over the 4x4 to hang the PHD. The chain allows for adjustment to fit. Works good.

I added the pressure down system to it earlier this year. Ground is decomposed granite and is hard digging. The hydraulic assist adds a few hundred pounds down pressure and it really helps me dig the holes when the ground is dry.

This is the simplest design I have ever found, I am definitely going to try this, thanks.

I used to leave the auger installed, but it always gets in the way. It hooks up in a few minutes so what the heck. Plus now im forced to verify that the bolts are tight. I was also thinking of making a grade 8 pin to replace the bolts. And use latch pins to secure. Would be real easy to do, but i am a lazy sort. Will be a winter project i guess

How does that hydrolic assist work???

It has positive down pressure, but automatically releases all pressure when i raise the boom. Its a single acting cyllinder. Its amazing on how much it helps get hole started.
I used to get stuck trying to get holes started, would have to stop snd use pry bar to disloge a rock or get a small hole started. Or have someone help push down on pry bar to assist (very dangerous). With this .... No more problems.
I have to use it to set new fence next month on the 10 acres we purchased accross the street last month. Will get a workout
