We use two guys even on what's called a "One man auger"... Way safer and too high of risk for injury with just one man.

I saw a man break his arm and shoulder using one of those things😮

“Screw the tree, I got a tool that will go right through it.”

They should just make a larger model of a "drill press" and call it a "fence hole presser" or something like that 😂

Gotta pull it out every foot or so and clear the dirt. Makes it easier to hang on to which is a feat already.

things probably hitting roots. I would take it up and possibly take a chain saw to the roots.

I had the same problem with the auger kicking back on me, were you able to solve it?

As soon as I seen the thumbnail of the video I looked at that big tree in the background and said NOPE. How could you not think that ground wouldn’t be loaded with very large tree roots.

this is it. You'd have to stick a chain saw down there when it gets stuck to break it up.

Be careful with those things if it runs into some nice rock or coral it’ll break ur arm

Anyone who has hit a tree root knows why he was going so slow, iv been thrown over a meter and im 90kg an tasted the dirt

@@hailzyproductions if you hit lots of rocks an tree roots you have to constantly sharpen the blade/teeth on the auger, they will crush and pull rocks up you just have to constantly sharpen it, if its clay and rock just buy a jack hammer with spade attachments

Looks like a pain in the ass…. I’m going to have to fix my fence in the next couple of weeks and dreading it.

How'd you like them tree roots my guy?

He seems afraid to use the machine. He needs to brace himself and get a better stance.

Nah. He needs another dude or two helping to hold that auger. These mfs will fuck you up if you hit something large enough..

@@christianhviid2167 It's doable with one person, you just can't be standing loosely like he is. That is when you get hurt. Yes they can hurt you. When I've hit something I just let it go. But, I also don't just go willy nilly blasting the throttle wide open. I finesse the machine. I am not trying to be the fasted hole digger.

Then how are you going to get giant shoulders if you don’t use a post hole digger? I’ve dug many a holes with those things. I thank God I have the skill for it and it also builds character.

Screw that I’ll get the tractor with the PTO attachment ✅

@@mdgrech not to bad, as long as you pull it out every so often and clean the hole out. Iv not had a problem with smaller roots maybe 2” or so. When you hear it trying to bog down a little, lift it up and go back easy, it’s no fun getting it stuck down the hole as you don’t have a reverse. I use a slip disk on the PTO to protect the tractor 🚜

How many cc is that ?

Digging for oil?

The auger came with the attachment from home depot, I believe it was 9 inches. It could have been 12, but I'm pretty sure it was 9.

It was definitely close, but the fence looks good 👍

What’s with the supervisor standing over you watching you struggle, for god sakes grab a handle and give you a hand.

You have to work it Don’t be scared to use it. You need to clear dirt out a lot
