I had planned on getting a decent, "middle-grade" PHD down the road to use with whatever CUT/Utility I end up with (think JD 4710/5105 size range, 40-ish PTO hp, Cat I.). However that tractor buy is probably next year and we and the inlaws have some projects coming up this year that could be a lot easier with the PHD. I'll buy the digger this year if:
1) We can use it with the family's '53 NAA, and
2) The "size" of unit that will work with my "future" tractor is still reasonable for the NAA.
Thoughts?
I guess not knowing that much about the subtleties of PTOs/hitches I'm concerned about matching the NAA PTO shaft (size/splines) and if the NAA 3-point is actually close enough for what passes today for a Cat I.
Anyone use a PHD on an NAA/8N/600?
Any recommendations on PHDs in general? I'd like to stay under $1000 for the PHD and 1 auger. (The more under the better but I do want it to hold up.) We'll be digging post holes in normal-to-moderate "shale" soil, maybe 12" or 18" holes. (Big enough for 6x6 or 6" round posts). Will need to go down a good 36"-42" around here.
