John Deere 1025R & the Countyline PHD100 Post Hole Digger - Assemble it yourself the “Easy Way”
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 окт 2020
- I have seen a lot of different RUclips videos about unboxing and installing the Countyline PHD100 Post Hole Digger (Auger) onto your John Deere 1025R. But no one has really posted an easy “Step-by-Step" - "How To” video of assembling it by yourself. Someone always helps with lifting the gear drive, main lift arm or auger. So, in today’s video I will show you how easily do this by yourself without any help of others.
We used the PHD100 Post Hole Digger while putting in fence posts for our expanded Miniature Donkey dry paddock and it worked great.

Well done ! Very easy to follow !
Great - thank you - hope it helps you 👍
Great video! Thanks!
@@ramsescmasis Thank you - you are welcome 👍
I have watched several other’s videos and you are the only one that mentioned/showed greasing the zerts of the pto shaft. Thanks
Thanks - good luck with your auger
Thank you, I just started unpacking my unit last night and your video should be very helpful when I assemble it tomorrow.
Good luck with your new auger - have fun
Enjoyed the video. Probably one of the better videos made on the PHD. The only part lacking for me was tightening the set pin on the PTO u-joint. Clarity in the instructions were as clear as mud for me. tks.
Thank you - best of luck with your new auger…
Great video...
Thank you for sharing
You're welcome - Thanks for tuning in to our channel👍🚜
Thank you very much. I wouldn’t have been able to put mine together if it weren’t for this video. Great instructional video. Made for dummies like me. Thank you thank you!
Glad you liked it - You can't be too much of a dummy if you own a tractor and plan on operating an auger... Best of luck - Please comeback and visit with us again...
Great video. If you swap sides with the tail light assemblies you can mount them inside the ROP and they won't be as vulnerable to getting broken or damaged.
Thanks for the tip - 90% of the time I have my 260B Backhoe on the tractor, so I wouldn’t have room to get into the BH seat if I reversed the tail lights 👍
Great job! Thank you!
Thank you
Nice video!! You made it look easy !! Thank you
You're welcome - Best of luck with your new post hole digger...
This was really helpful, thank you for taking the time to show how this is put together.
eternal bliss - I enjoyed doing it - Thanks for tuning in...
As others have said, exactly what I was looking for so thank you! Looking to purchase a 1025R this week and wanted to ensure the digger I purchased would work with the JD.
Your welcome - best of luck with your new tractor - you won’t be sorry you bought one ✅
Great video,if you set your pto lever to the mid pto mode it will allow you to freely spin the tractor rear pto with out having to disconnect the post hole pto shaft
Wow, great tip - thanks
Great video - excellent detail
Thanks for tuning in to our channel & thanks for the compliment - Please stop back to see us again...
I think, when storing, the PTO end of the linkage slips over the bracket that you tied it to.
I don't know for sure, but it looks like that is how it was designed to be used.
Great video, quite informative.
Yes, I totally agree with you - if the unit was on level ground it probably would stay in place better - I also greased it & put a throw away rubber glove over it for long term storage - Thanks for your comment & for tuning in to our channel !
Thanks this was very helpful
Glad you liked it - good luck w/ your new post hole digger
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Mine is still in the crate
Thanks for tuning in - You'll be glad you bought it...
Your way was much easier then the instructions had me do. Now I'm on the floor waiting for the morton to kick in.
👍 Thanks for tuning in - I had watched several RUclips videos of guys assembling their post hole digger where 2 guys were struggling to hang the drive on the boom and thought there has to be a better way - Especially if you're attempting it by yourself. Believe me, I've been in your shoes way too many times doing heavy projects alone. So I always try to work Smarter instead of Harder - Key word here is "Try" (cause I'm not always successful) Thanks again for your comments and for tuning in to our channel...
Finally a to the point video,,great video sir,,i installed my new auger yesterday but was unable to get pto shaft to go on at all in order to pull the sleeve to lock it?Hopefully today i will figure out whats the issue,,great tip on the pivot point grease,,i did notice mine was jumpy,,i was going to adjust lift speed..i did have to grind off a small amount of lift arm so the pin would go in,
Thank you - Glad it helped - Yes PTO’s are a PIA 😂 to get on sometimes - You may want to try rotating the shaft and lubricating it well & try again - Good Luck 👍
Awesome video. This is what I was looking for but took a while to find. Other videos showed stuff already assembled and that was a waste of time. Take care and God Bless You Sir. Thanks for your help.
Glad you liked it - Best of luck with your new Post Hole Digger - 🙏
@@ClearCreekCabinMiniFarm Thank you, I got it up and running and tested it out. It worked way better than I expected. Take care and may God Bless You. ✌️🙏🇺🇸
@@TazPA64 and to you
Excellent video! I just picked this unit up at TSC and your video helped a lot in assembling it. Thanks for doing the vid! Best, Ed
Glad you enjoyed it - Best of luck with your new Countyline Post Hole Digger. And thanks for tuning in to our channel 👍
Just put mine together yesterday.. seems to be a quality digger. Mounted mine to my Kubota L2501.
Thanks for tuning in to our channel - The Kubota L2501 is a great Tractor and the Post Hole Digger should work well on it - Good luck and have fun with them both... Let us know how it all works out - Would love to hear about your project...
I bought the same tractor did you do a video as well
Very formative, creative thinking, work smarter not harder. What size is the shear pins? Buying one soon. Excited, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for tuning in - The pins are nothing but 1/4” grade 3 bolts - you can buy a pack of 3 at Tractor Supply - I bought a pack when I picked up the digger
I just bought the same digger. Great video. Clear and lots of great tips!! Don't have a backhoe but nice dolly too. I'm new at video. What camera and tripod are using? Nice work thanks again!!
Hey thanks for watching - glad you liked the video - As far as my camera - I keep it simple & use my iPhone - it takes great high quality vids & is easy to download to my PC - I use an old 35mm aluminum Tripod with an adapter for my phone I got off of Amazon...
I think I'm just going to rent one of those
Thanks for watching - That’s probably the best idea for most people - Unless they plan on installing a lot of posts like us...
Careful with the top link. Seen many break their cast iron top link on the 1025r and not sure what they did to do it.
Thanks for watching - Yea I saw that somewhere - The guy let the boom/arm twist in the top link while installing/removing it - IMHO - That’s why you must install the yoke 1st to help keep it from twisting & make sure your lift arms don’t have too much sway when operating it- Thanks again
Great video and I just purchased the same unit today for my 44 hp Deere. Did you purchase nut and bolt for auger to mount to the gearbox?
Thanks for tuning in to our channel - Yes I purchased extra "Shear Bolts" from Tractor Supply - They are over in the aisle where the Clevis Pins and Wire Pin Locks are if you go looking for them - Your 44 horse JD will make the auger even easier to use over the 25 hp 1025r - Best of luck with your new post hole digger Mr. Yard Dog...
Thank you and I’m ready to dig over 54 holes soon
@@t.c.bfarmllc2886 Couldn't imagine doing that manually....
@@ClearCreekCabinMiniFarm trust me that’s why I purchased the 3pt county line
Have you tired using it through hard rocky soil? I have a lot of clay and stone, and a lot of the fill used around my house it so hard I can barely dig into it with a shovel, I often need a digging pole to break it up. I've been looking at this post hole digger online but worried it might not handle the job.
Hi - Thanks for tuning in to our channel - In my experience you cannot use this anywhere there are heavy tree roots or large rocks in the soil - It worked just fine for me in hard clay - You just have to take it slow and only go a few inches at a time before lifting up the boom. Because of the limited PTO HP of the 1025r you have to be careful where you can use it. It can bury itself in a heartbeat. I believe it's probably better suited for larger category one machines >25 HP.
Is the PTO drive shaft more contracted when the boom is up or down? Hard to tell from watching the video.
The 2 piece shaft is extended when the boom is all the way up and is contracted the most when the auger is buried fully down into the ground✅
On your tractor the three point hitch raises higher then mine. I cannot figure out how to get it to go higher. My bottom arm are 17” off the ground and everything I find on the internet they are about 24” off the ground. Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Wesley - Thanks for tuning in - Did you try reversing the 3 point hitch arms? As you know the arms have one end shorter than the other? Also have you tightened (locked down) the lift adjustment knob under your seat (assuming you also have the 1025r?)
What is the length of the bit u are using
Is that a 48 inch auger?
Hi thanks for tuning in - It is a 36” x 6” auger

I had wondered why you were digging postholes by hand earlier? Looks like you thought the same thing.
We dug all the posts by hand for the original paddock because we were rushing to get ready for the delivery of the 1st shed. At the same time we were loading heavy buckets full of manufactured sand - The backhoe acts as the "Ballast" for the front loader on this little tractor - The Post Hole Digger isn't heavy enough. For the 2nd paddock we had time to dig the post holes with the tractor's 3-point digger and then put the backhoe back on as ballast while loading another 20 tons of sand. Believe me my back paid the price for the 1st posts we put in - But it was good for the soul... lol
@@ClearCreekCabinMiniFarm I read somewhere else where the owner convinced a couple of highschool football players that it would be a good workout to dig the postholes for him. !! hah it worked for Tom Sawyer.
Randy Rick - Wish I had thought of that
