Does a post hole digger fit a Kubota MX5400? (1/5)
On paper, the Kubota MX5400 clears 1 of 5 curated post hole digger classes in our catalog, with 2 Partial (at least one limit not confirmed) and 2 incompatible. Clearing classes include Land Pride PD35 Post Hole Digger. Most common fail check: upper HP limit (2 of 5 classes). Checks use verified hitch/PTO overlays, lift Facts and maker-published HP limits. We never invent a number.

Before you buy
- Kubota MX5400 is utility class — more lift than compacts, but implement sheets and PTO still govern the buy.
- Verified hitch: Category I & Category II. Implements must list one of those categories. Adapters do not add lift.
- Verified PTO rating: 46.5 PTO HP. Size PTO implements from this number — not from engine HP.
- Catalog rear lift: 2,310 lbs at 24 in behind lift point. Heavier post hole digger tools need headroom over shipping weight (we screen with ~20% margin).
- 1 curated class(es) clear on paper, including the maker's upper HP limit. Still confirm serial-year OEM sheets and ballast.
- Next step: open the Fit checker with Kubota MX5400 and a specific post hole digger model, or read the fit guide for this implement type.
What Fit checks for this implement type
3-point post-hole diggers need hitch class, PTO shaft power, and enough lift to carry the boom. Auger diameter and soil still belong in the implement manual.
What usually fails first
PTO HP and lift on compact frames. Sub-compacts often clear only lighter diggers; utility machines handle larger augers when the sheet agrees.
How to use this hub

FAQ
- Which post hole digger classes clear on paper for the Kubota MX5400?
- 1 of 5 curated classes pass hitch, PTO, lift and the maker's upper HP limit, including Land Pride PD35 Post Hole Digger. Still confirm serial-year OEM sheets.
- Why are 2 post hole digger rows Partial on the Kubota MX5400?
- Land Pride PD25 Post Hole Digger and Post hole digger (compact class) are Partial because at least one number can't be confirmed yet, most often the upper HP limit. The maker doesn't say whether its HP limit means engine or PTO HP, and this tractor's engine HP is over it. The maker's upper HP limit for 1 of these rows isn't on file yet. Partial is never a confirmed fit.
- What does Partial mean?
- Partial means one number can't be confirmed yet: a tractor Fact the check needs (PTO HP, PTO speed, hitch or rear lift) isn't on file, or the maker's upper HP limit isn't on file or isn't published. Partial also shows when only engine HP is known and it's over the maker's HP limit; when the tractor has two published PTO figures and only one is within the maker's HP limit (that can depend on the transmission version, so check which one you have); when the maker publishes different HP limits by drivetrain and this tractor is over one of them; or when the maker's own documents give two different limits. Partial is never a confirmed fit. We mark gaps instead of inventing numbers.
- Which post hole digger classes fail on the Kubota MX5400?
- 2 class(es) fail — including Land Pride PD10 Post Hole Digger and Land Pride PD15 Post Hole Digger — usually on upper HP limit. Those are rated for less power than this tractor makes. Look for a heavier-duty model whose maker HP range includes this tractor.
- Why does Land Pride PD35 Post Hole Digger clear when Land Pride PD10 Post Hole Digger fails on the Kubota MX5400?
- Land Pride PD35 Post Hole Digger passes hitch, PTO, lift and the maker's HP limit with published Facts; Land Pride PD10 Post Hole Digger fails on upper HP limit. That is a class-sheet difference, not “about the same engine HP.”
- How do I check a specific post hole digger on the Kubota MX5400?
- Open the Attachment Fit checker with the Kubota MX5400 and post hole digger type, open a result row below, or follow the source link on each implement.
