Information
The Bush Hog PHD2403 is a three-point hitch, PTO-driven post hole digger built to deliver reliable performance on a wide range of soil and ground conditions, making it ideal for setting fence posts, planting trees, installing structural supports, and other earth-boring tasks. Designed to fit Category 1 and Category 2 tractors, it attaches securely to the tractor’s 3-point hitch and operates from a standard 540 RPM PTO, giving it robust power for heavy-duty work. The PHD2403 features a 2-inch diameter output shaft and a 4:1 gearbox ratio with special alloy pinion gears and tapered roller bearings that ensure smooth, efficient power transfer and long-lasting durability in rugged field conditions. Its heavy duty augers, available in a variety of diameters (from 6? up to 24? depending on regular or heavy-duty versions), are built with double flighting to provide more cutting surface area for faster, easier digging and better soil removal than standard single-flight designs. The frame includes stout 3½? tubing with reinforcing ribs and a solid ASAE Cat III driveshaft, while shear bolt protection on the driveline helps guard against shock loads and component damage. Additional practical features include a replaceable drill teeth, a 2? round hub connection, and options such as a hydraulic down-force kit, parking stand, and auger extensions to enhance versatility and ease of use on varied job sites. Overall, the PHD2403 is a proven, workhorse implement for farmers, ranchers, and contractors needing a dependable, tractor-powered auger solution.
