The answer is a qualified yes if you buy the Kubota/Landpride unit designed for low flow tractor systems.SA20
The spec's for your tractor say 6.4 gpm.
Sometimes, on older machines this number is misleading if you have power steering as the PS flow is included in the total hydraulic flow.
Watch this video on the SA20..

Unless you have a lot of holes to drill, hiring someone to do the work makes more sense $ wise as getting into hydraulic systems complete with third function valve quickly gets expensive when making these systems work on older tractors.

The Cat auger requires to much oil. This is more like what you need but the requirements may still be to high for your tractor. Contact them and see if it will work. Come back with what you learn and share.

POST HOLE DIGGER HYDRAULIC DRIVE 5-10 GPM
This Shaver digger is powered with the tractor or skid steer hydraulics, instead of with PTO power. There is one distinct advantage to hydraulic power - the ability to reverse the flow and clear the auger. This digger can be mounted several different ways on a tractor or skid steer. Use mounting...

My B2650 has 5.0 at the 3rd function. While it isn't magic (there are rocks and obstacles that will stop it) it is a fantastic setup. I have easily done over 1000 holes with it at this point.
I went with the AugerTorque brand because it is better suited to low flow applications.
I also modified a cement mixer bowl that I mount to the auger to mix cement.
