Abstract: A supporting frame mounting a work implement, such as a post hole digger, is disclosed wherein the supporting frame is connected to a standard snow plow mount at the front of a truck. The supporting frame includes a fixed base member affixed to the snow plow mount and supporting a rotatable base portion by a slew bearing. The supporting frame further includes a double arm boom member pivotally connected to the rotatable base member and a single arm boom member pivotally connected to the double arm boom member to provide a compact nesting configuration for transport. The work implement is affixed to the single arm boom member by a pivot and a swivel to permit a self-seeking vertical orientation by gravity. A hydraulic system powers the pivotal movement of the boom members and the rotatable base member, as well as the operation of the work implement.
