I'm in the the market for a post hole digger for my Max 28. What category implement works on these tractor? Would I need to buy one for a compact tractor or are they all the same?

I think an issue you will want to consider is the lift height and how high you can get the auger bit off the ground.

Category 1 hitch and implements, just watch ground clearance. However they do make them cuts and scuts, check out everything attachments. Free shipping if within 1000 miles.

If you've never used an auger:
Low rpm, shallow cuts, lift and clean the hop often.
Or
Get one of those 3-4' pipe wrenches and good gloves...

YES - slow and lots of clearing of the bit. They are like a massive screw and lock in the ground quickly if allowed to go too deep with out clearing.
Also STAY AWAY FROM THE BIT when it is running (don't have some one guide it, etc) they will tear a person up VERY quickly!

What diameter post hole auger ?
Once you use a hydraulically driven post hole digger. You will wonder why anybody fools around with a pto driven unit.
A post hole auger mounted to the loader bucket is best of all.
I would assume a Max28 is the following tractor ?

I second the Everything Attachments recommendation. Give them a call and they should be able to answer all your questions. They're very helpful and won't steer you to something bigger or more expensive than what you actually need.
