BRABER - Light-Duty 3-Point PTO Post Hole Digger - Category 1 Hitch - PTO Driveline Included, Up to 30 HP [BE-PHDLG]

BRABER BE-PHDLG Light-Duty 3-Point PTO Post Hole Digger is designed for compact and sub-compact tractors up to 30 HP. With a Category 1 three-point hitch, included PTO driveline, shorter boom, and 540 RPM PTO operation, this post hole digger is suited to property maintenance, agricultural work, fencing, landscaping, and other applications requiring efficient hole preparation. The shorter boom is designed for easier lifting with sub-30 HP tractors, while the heavy-duty oil-filled 40 HP gearbox provides a robust drive system for compatible auger applications.

Efficient Post Hole Digging for Compact Tractors

The BE-PHDLG provides a practical PTO-powered digging solution for smaller tractors. Its Category 1 three-point hitch is intended for compatible compact and sub-compact tractor setups, and the included PTO driveline connects the tractor power source to the digger. A swivel top link supports the implement connection, while the parking stand helps with storage and handling when the unit is detached from the tractor.

The manufacturer catalog specifies a 40-inch drilling depth for this model. The current manufacturer product page lists a different drilling-depth specification of 24 inches, so drilling depth should be confirmed before purchase if this measurement is critical to your application.

Gearbox and PTO Protection

The BE-PHDLG uses a heavy-duty oil-filled gearbox rated at 40 HP. Power is supplied through a 540 RPM PTO, and the PTO yoke includes shear-pin protection. The shear-pin design provides a specified PTO protection feature for the driveline, while the included shaft allows the implement to be connected to a compatible tractor PTO system.

Auger Compatibility

The auger is sold separately. Compatible short auger models identified for this product include the BRABER PHA6SG, PHA9SG, and PHA12SG. Select the auger separately according to the hole size required for the intended application.
