I would go with a hydraulic drive unit, mounted on a loader. If you don't want to spend that kind of money, consider renting a skid steer with the auger on it for a day. Shouldn't be any trouble drilling all those holes in one day, provided the layout work is done ahead of time.
I can remember using a Daunser digger many years ago. I don't recall what condition the tips were in, but it was an experience I would not care to repeat. The PTO diggers don't deal well with stone. With a loader mounted hydraulic drive, you can force the bit past a rock, and there are no broken shear bolts or bent or broken parts. If you have the patience to work with the PTO digger, my hat goes off to you.....
