Adding down-pressure to a post hole digger (PHD)

   / Adding down-pressure to a post hole digger (PHD) #11  
It is PTO powered, and the weight is basically limited o the frame, but it now dig a lot better than if I would have just weighted the digger, (why I do not know),

the two angle Irons on the back are to push the fence wire out of the way, so the wire does not get in to the auger, and it makes a reasonably effective safety cage,

(when I was in high school my Ag teacher lost most of a foot to a three point digger, when he attempted to lean on it and add weight on it, the tractor he was using had some kind of draft control on the three point and it jumped up and out of the ground and come down on his foot),

neighbor had some kind of a two point for a old IH tractor when I was a kid, and that is some what where I got the idea, for the frame work,

I was similar to the one in the picture, and I think it had some kind of cable lift,
