I have a kubota Bx25d and was wondering if it is powerful enough to run a post hole auger? What size auger 9 or 12 inch? Has anyone have any experience with this? I don’t want to damage the tractor.
3-Point Hitch Can a kubota Bx25d handle a pto post hole auger?

I use a 9" auger on my BX-25 with no problem. Only thing is it has no down pressure.

I drilled 50 holes or so for a fence 20 years ago with a B8200. I think it was around 16-18hp, and had 150 lbs of suitcase weights on the front.
It doesn’t really take a lot of horsepower to run an auger, but if you screw it into the ground even a much larger tractor is going to fail miserably. Be sure to read up on the subject first and your BX will be fine.

I have 14hp of hydraulic power on my L4060 & it runs a 12" auger fine. The hydraulic SSQA PHD is definitely a lot less powerful than the 25 PTO HP running my old 3pt PHD on my old L3200. Hydraulics have other advantages over the PTO, put available power on a CUT or SCUT isn't one of them. And you can dig holes fine with low HP if you go slower.

Biggest problem you will have is it barely lifts it high enough not to drag on the ground
