Make placing your auger tip effortless — align and position without leaving your seat.
The optional handle described here — the BEFCO “PHD003” Auger Positioning Handle — is a smart add-on for any of BEFCO’s MOLE post-hole diggers. It mounts directly to the digger’s gearbox and gives you precise control over the auger’s tip position from the tractor seat, saving time and spare steps whenever you start a hole.
With this handle, you can easily raise or lower the auger tip: raise the handle to bring the auger toward the tractor, or lower it to move it away — ideal for aligning the bit accurately before engaging the PTO. That means less fuss and less risk of misalignment, especially when you’re working on multiple holes or hard-to-reach spots.
Particularly useful for operators installing fence posts, planting trees, or setting vineyard poles: the positioning handle enhances convenience, improves safety, and streamlines the setup process so you can dig faster and more precisely.
Easy Ground Alignment from Operator Seat
Positions the auger tip accurately without leaving the tractor, allowing you to align the bit before digging — no more manual adjustments at ground level.
Simple Lever Control
Use a lift/lower motion on the handle to precisely adjust auger tip placement relative to the tractor — intuitive and quick to operate.
Full Compatibility with BEFCO MOLE Diggers
The handle fits all models of BEFCO post-hole diggers (MOLE series), making it a versatile accessory regardless of which auger or tractor setup you use.
Improves Efficiency and Safety
By reducing the need to manually guide or reposition the auger on the ground, it lowers physical strain and minimizes risk of misalignment or injury during setup.
