Danuser is still in business, and does make post hole diggers, but not this one, and not this one for a long time.
The center pic shows the gear box that connects to the tractor PTO driveshaft, just like the tiller would be on a Large Frame.

Nice attachment LPBolens!!!
Did you buy it separately or did it come with the tractor?

It is actually a belt drive, where the sheave on the power head is able to keep constant pressure on a very long belt as the head goes up and down. There is a sheave at the bottom of the unit that is driven by the PTO and there is another adjustable sheave at the top to complete the loop. In really tough soil, I would expect it to slip, but I have never done that so I don't know for sure.How does the power transmit from the PTO to the auger? I cant seem to envision how the auger head can move up and down and recive power at the same time. Is it chain and sprocket?
