The one shown when I follow link looks to large for my B7000.
I assume that it will work.
That bieng said do you have a B7000 and installed it on yours?
I hate to order it and have to pay shippig to return.

A cat I/cat II post hole digger may be too tall for your tractor- do you know someone who has one, so you can try it out? Have you checked with any equipment suppliers, like everythingattachments.com, or the like? I don't know if there is a cat O post hole digger, more suited to the size of your tractor. I think it would power one, unless you were in a lot of rock or roots. I haven't tried ours on my B7100 (no need, because my father has a bigger tractor), but I did use it years ago on an 18 horse Yanmar. It ran it fine, but it was almost too tall for the tractor.
I have used the two-man drills, and they work fine, but can give you a workout. Plus, it always took two people. I much prefer tractor-mounted.

Yeah I've had a full size cat 1 auger behing my B6100 and it handled it no problem. I ran a 12 inch bit on there with no problem at all. I had plety of height clearence, loading onto a trailer was a minor set back. I'd just fold the bit into the boom and tie it off.
