I just purchased a post-hole digger from my Kubota dealer. It is a Dirty Hand Tools PD100 (Cat1/Cat2). When I got ready to attach it to my B2320, however, I found two issues.
1. The hole on the end of the boom is for a 1" pin, but I have 3/4" pins, as do all my other attachments. And, of course, the pin-attachment bracket on the tractor is only 3/4", so I cannot use a 1" pin even if I had one. Is the slop due to the oversize hole a problem? Is there a bushing available?
2. The inner width of the bracket on the tractor is 1-5/8", but the width of the end of the PHD boom is 1-3/4", so I have no way to even mount the PHD unless it is possible to spread the bracket. I see that the bracket on the tractor is actual two separate pieces; however, I have not yet loosened them to see if the hole behind the bracket is actual a slot rather than a round hole so that the bracket can accommodate a wider attachment boom .
