From
experience, I can tell you that this is true. Years ago, my husband and I bought a small used 2-man auger, with which we tried to make a series of 8" post holes for
fence. Our soil is clay and full of tree
roots and a few buried rocks. When the auger hit one, it would buck and kick and threw me down a couple of times. My husband finally said 'forget it' and used a manual post hole digger. Happily, we sold it for the same price we paid for it. Now, we have a couple of PTO driven augers for our
tractor.
