All the post hole diggers I've used never needed downforce. I find that just letting it down and letting it eat I'll shear pins, I doubt that adding downforce will help me dig faster or deeper when it is already shearing pins.

A couple more pics of the auger, talked to the guy about how it operated. Pull on one of the lines to disengage the auger, pull on the other line to engage a winch to raise the auger up. He didn't seem to have any nostalgic feelings for the cool old machine and said he is wanting to get a ssqa mount hydraulic unit for the front of his tractor.20200229_145351.jpeg20200229_145406.jpeg

Interesting setup. It looks pretty rusty, like he hasn't used it (or maintained it) much. Looks out of place against his (very nice) tractor. Video of the operation would be great...

The concept is that the tractor 3pt doesn't have to lift the auger out of the ground. Designed to be used on older tractors with minimal 3pt lift capacity.

Think of the brochure posted with the auger hitched to an old two lunger JD. My JD2210 probably has as much or more 3pt lift capability. :)

It may not show up well in the pics but everything is greased and I smelled PB Blaster so he does take care of it. It certainly could use a coat of paint however. Unfortunately I was at work when he was drilling and didn't get video.
