If you own a TO35 you have PTO ground speed reverse option, you might not be aware of that and hopefully you will never have to use it.
but sometimes using a Post hole digger, you get the auger caught under a root or sum such and you can not get the auger to pull out.
Option: you can jack one rear wheel of the tractor off the ground, then place the pto in ground speed, then place the tractor transmission in reverse,
when you let out on the clutch, the wheel that is off the ground will start to spin and the pto shaft will turn in reverse,
as the pto shaft turns in reverse, the post hole digger auger will reverse itself and screw itself out of the ground.
hope you never need to use this option, but it works,
guess it would work if you had a haybaler or corn picker choked up, it might work, but could mess up the knotters on a baler.
might be a bit of useless information to most folks, but who knows someone might need the option someday, I was using my post hole digger the other day and remember the option as I was drilling a hole beside an old dead tree stump, was concerned I might get it caught under a root.
