Don........since I didn't have an auger for my 8N, I rented a Yammabottadeere with post hole digger. I was doing great digging holes for new fence line ...until... my front wheels were 3-ft in the air!!! I could NOT raise my digger!!! I managed to gitt some wood cribbing under the front axle and then I could un-bolt the auger. I then moved the tractor outta the way so I could "pipe-wrench" the auger. NO LUCK. I then realize I'd haffta DIG the auger outta the ground. It had "screwed" itself into BIG tree ROOT. I ended up having a 3-ft post hole instead of nice 6"-holes. ........holey Dell
P.S.........what I've never figgered out, you dig a 6"-hole and putta 6"-post in it and still don't have enuff dirt to tamp the post tite........2nd point, NEVER CEMENT yer posts, the cement collects WATER and ROTS yer treated post off
