Gravel, our little tractors don't have the rear hydraulics or the size to handle one of those. I have seen videos of them used on skid steers and they sure look sweet.

Did you check out the 'everything attachment' place?  They are built well and do a pretty good job at using American products in their fabrications.

K, you can buy the one for ~$400 or something and use a shorter auger or just get by with the longer auger. That price is ridiculous. From what I read below the TSC PHD will work and you can bungie up forward the auger tip if needing to drive around on uneven terrain.

Check out these pictures and links.

 

From here http://www.tractorby.....x2660.html

  • I own a B7610 and I went through this dilema on here a few months ago with trying to determine what PHD would work for me. Lots of the same old "know it all" advice from guys who didn't own more than a lawn tractor.........SO........I researched lots and lots on my own and decided on the one that TSC offers. Glad I did and yes, it should work just fine on a BX. I just finished 800 feet of fencing with 32 9 inch x 3 foot holes in red Georgia wet clay with zero problems either on power or height limitations. In addition I did 9 12 inch holes 3 feet deep for a pole barn/shed.........So.....for me, I have no problems with the TSC PHD. What I really appreciate is their policy of "try it, if it doesn't work right bring it back". Good folks.........God bless.....Dennis
  • I had a Taylor Way I bought from Barlows. I used it on a B3200, BX2660 and my nephew used it on his BX2360.There was a bit of a problem transporting it on the BX when I reached the bottom of a hill and tractor was on flat land and PHD was hitting the ground. No big problem, just pulled the PHD forward with a bungee cord, rope, etc which effectively raised the bottom of it. Had no problems with power or operation. When it stopped going down and wasn't deep enough I just kept it running and slightly moved back or forward just a tad and it would rebite.
