3-Point Hitch Post hole digger for kubota bx2660

Bamacummins · Jun 5, 2013

Sorry John , saw this on another thread in 2010. Here it is:

I have a Taylor Way post hole digger 12" auger that was on a B3200. Hooked it up to nephews BX2360 and drilled a few holes. It was sitting about 4"s off the ground so we installed my cheap QH's to extend it further back which raised it several more inches off the ground so I can now testify to the fact that it will work. Here's pictures for proof that are only 30 minutes old or less. One picture with it on B3200. Going down hill or on flat land should be no problem. He was going up hill so it got closer. Steep uphill may require backing up. No problem with power of tractor. Only issue is dragging ground.

I have a tractor supply post hole digger. When used on my B7800 I had just a few inches of clearance. When I get off of work today I will hook it up to the BX and see how it fits with some pics. I am curious myself.

Thank you , thank you

Here's a video that Ted made a few years back that explains the differences between a full size phd and a compact phd. We've since replaced the Leinbach diggers with our ETA Post Hole Diggers which feature several improvements.

The post hole digger would not work on a BX. Where the top link goes , the metal is touching the tractor prohibiting it from raising up any farther. As you can see the auger is too long. I guess a subcompact tractor post hole digger will be needed.

Thank you for checking. This is what I suspected. My guess is that there are enough differences in phd brands that some work on the small tractors and some don't. Also, I think the adjustments can make some difference. I come to this conclusion since there examples of it working, (johnthomas) post and some others. Most reputable dealers say they won't, usually.

:ashamed: Wow, one has to be careful what they write "on paper".

I know I had/have some quick hitches, sold 2 different pairs and still have one, but didn't remember letting my nephew use/borrow them but it sounds like what I'd do to help him. Guess since he lived down the hill from me I let him use them to keep it off the ground. Think he was the one told me about using a bungee cord to pull it toward his tractor which solved his problem of being close. I did ponder where you came to the conclusion/idea that I had used quick hitches when I used it.

Guess your research skills are much better than my memory.

I'm going to start adding more disclaimers to the bottom of my posts in the future to cover all lapses in memory. There was a day that I would have paid money if anyone had caught me in a misquote or mis statement but that has been long ago.:laughing:

Here is a picture of my Lienbach 7200JR on my BX24. Not a whole lot of ground clearance the way I had it setup because I needed to dig deeper. There are 5 adjustment holes for the boom.

Funny. What bugged me when searching was I couldn't find bx2660 and post hole digger together in any thread. Amazingly though, after I made my post, I saw several "related" threads at bottom of mine?????

Maybe I'm not using search feature correctly?

Here's a link with a regular PHD on my BX2200, I tried one that another neighbor has and the way it was made, the yoke would bind before I could get the top link connected. Some of the regular PHDs will work on the BX and some won't so you have to try before you buy.
