I am putting up a pole barn this spring which requires me to drill about 29 holes in the ground (8X8 posts) to set the posts. I am thinking that a 12" auger will do the job.

I"ve heard that drilling through clay can be a killer. My tractors do not have downward pressure at the 3-point arms. I know I can hire it out to someone with a skidsteer or a utility-type rig but I want to do this myself. Any ideas, suggestions, comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
