Covers removing the top link, storing and greasing the PTO shaft, choosing the correct top-link hole on a Kubota, and briefly touching on lining up a straight hole. Practical and candid, best suited for first-timers who find the hookup process frustrating.
An owner-operator channel documenting life on a 20-acre Florida homestead, so the perspective is hands-on and experience-based rather than dealer or manufacturer driven.
No, you take the top link off completely because a post hole auger does not use one, unlike regular three-point hitch equipment.
If your tractor has three holes, use the middle one. The top hole can hit the toolbox bar, and the bottom hole may interfere with the PTO cover.
Take it apart into its two pieces, grease the inside of the female side, and move it back and forth so it slides on easily next time.
Start with a manual post hole digger to create a cheater hole in the exact spot, then back the tractor up as the auger digs, keeping it straight with help from a spotter.
