Most of the early power post hole diggers in this area had frames which 
mounted to a solid drawbar and the gear box and auger slid up and 
down in the frame. They were actually better than the three point units 
for digging because they moved in a true vertical path rather than an 
arc. Some had down pressure some didn't. 

The problem with them was the length of time it took to mount them vs a 
3 pt unit.

I now use a hydraulicly driven auger which hangs from a pipe that can 
slide over one of the bale spears on my loader and fastens with a single 
bolt. Very quick to install, down pressure and with a 3 foot extension on 
it I can dig deeper than a 3 pt unit.
