Yanmar post hole drills were manufactured by Arps, who has subsequently been bought out by Ameriquip, which is still providing parts. There was a model 23 for the smaller tractors and it had shorter augers; and a model 50 for the larger tractors with a full length auger.

The Yanmar Post Hole Drills were manufactured by Arps, who has subsequently been bought out by Ameriquip, which is still providing parts for them. There were two models; the YK23 was for the smaller tractors and had short augers, and the model YK50 was for the larger tractors and had standard length augers.
