TMG-TPD12 48″ Hydraulic Assist Post Hole Digger
$2,695.00
Streamline your fencing, property development, and agricultural projects with the TMG-TPD12 48″ Hydraulic Assist Post Hole Digger.
Engineered for 35–65 HP tractors, this commercial-grade attachment easily punctures compacted, clay-heavy, or rocky soils that cause standard gravity-fed diggers to stall or ride up. It features a heavy-duty 12-inch steel auger equipped with a continuous spiral flighting design that efficiently self-cleans and brings loose debris to the surface.
Powered directly by your tractor’s 540 RPM PTO and augmented by a forceful hydraulic down-pressure cylinder, it sinks straight, stable holes up to 48 inches deep.
Built with a reinforced three-position adjustable boom and anti-swing stabilization, this unit is an essential tool for fence contractors, utility crews, large acreages, and agricultural operations.
Availability note: high-ticket equipment availability and freight routing should be confirmed before dispatch.
Key Features
-
Hydraulic Assist Down-Pressure: Integrates a powerful hydraulic cylinder to deliver positive down-force, ensuring steady, aggressive penetration into hardened or heavily compacted terrain.
-
Anti-Swing Stabilization: Engineered with a specialized fixed-position framework that prevents the auger from dangerously swaying or drifting while positioning before a dig or during post-hole extraction.
-
Continuous Self-Cleaning Auger: Built with a 12-inch diameter steel auger featuring a 14-gauge continuous spiral flighting geometry that prevents clogging and automatically evacuates loose dirt and rock shards.
-
Three-Position Adjustable Boom: Features a heavy-wall structural steel boom with three distinct pin positioning holes to adapt the angle and leverage of the digger across uneven slopes or varying tractor drawbar heights.
-
Heat-Treated Cutting Edges: Outfitted with high-durability, bolt-on replaceable cutting teeth and a pilot point designed to take the brunt of underground impact while maintaining long-term sharpness.
-
Dual Category Compatibility: Equipped with robust 3-point hitch geometry that integrates seamlessly with both Category 1 and Category 2 tractor setups.
