I've got close to 20 acres that have been unused for many years, I've just restored a 1938 D2 and have cleared that property off, and would like to fence it and maybe let someone board horses on it. I also have a 52' Farmall cub and am thinking about getting one of those "Two Man" gas augers and building something to mount it on back of the D2 or the Cub. does anyone know of any augers that are made for either one of them ?

If possible, rent a one man Ground Hog post hole digger on wheels. IF your soil is not mostly rock, you can take one of these units with sharp blades and dig a lot more holes faster than any standard 3 point tractor. But if your soil is mostly hard dry clay, a 3 point tractor set up with hydraulic down pressure would be nice. I used both when I was a fence contractor some 25+ years ago and dug 10s of thousands of holes.

You would be far better off to borrow a tractor with a 3pt hitch and a regular pto driven post hole digger. You can drill a lot of holes with that setup in an afternoon. Those 2 man jobbies will kill two men - should be at least four men to run one without killing yourself! By the time you build a rig to tractor mount one of them... you"d have a small fortune in it, time, materials, work, etc.
