I have a John Deere 3 point hitch post hole digger with a 12" auger that I use on my 686. I have to control how fast it digs in, if I don't it will screw itself into the ground and break a shear bolt. The 686 has no downpressure. If your point and blades are in good shape the weight of the digger should be sufficient unless your digging baked clay or rock. You can also buy a hydraulic driven one that bolts to a loader bucket if you need downpressure and have a loader. They work good to back out to if you get stuck, just reverse the hydraulic flow. Cheaper than buying another tractor.
