    Scott,
    I enjoyed the video and you didn't leave anything out.
    Look forward to the other videos on tractor emplements.
    You are always right on track with your videos.
    Thank you,
    Millwright.

    Thanks for bringing back memories! Around here we have inches of "dirt" over coral rock. The tractor auger was always breaking the bolt and we had to lower slowly to avoid binding the carbide teeth. Thanks to the hydraulic skid steer auger all that hassle disappeared and drilling holes is now a breeze.

    It will be very helpful as just bought my first tractor. I decided on the Kubota L39 because it has an engineered back hoe for the tractor but it is removable allowing access the three point hitch. My first implement will be an auger. Thanks, great timing.

    Great video! Looking forward to the rest of the tractor series. Thanks for all the time you put in! If you think about it, would appreciate your opinions on distance between posts for different fence types (woven wire, etc.).

    Great tips! Not owning a tractor (small place) I have used one of the hydraulic gas powered post hole diggers with good results. I certainly agree on the vertical posts. About 15 years ago, helped a friend put in a wood post fence up around 3 acres (in Florida). We just did some reworking on the fence, replacing 8 posts which had rotted/sheared at the base. 6 of the 8 replaced posts where the only non-vertical posts along the fence line (though only slightly off). The numbers would suggest the fence posts not being vertical has contributed to the likelihood of them rotting at the bottom. Planting them right the first time probably will save work down the road.
    I also mark my tamper with measurements, so that it works as two tools while out in the field.

    Another great use for this device... If you don't have a front end bucket or a trackhoe AND you have a largish farm animal die on you...you can use the post holer to break up the ground for burial. Just shovel out the loosened dirt. Had a large sheep croak on us once...the post holer saved a ton of sweat.

    Good heavy wooden posts for the main corner sections (Corner and a brace on each side) work well for us.. Then T-posts in between. We use 3 strands of high tinsel wire for our pastures.. We've even had a few cars go through some of our fences near the roads and the high tinsel just springs around it... T-posts can sometimes be bent back in place.

    Hello: Nice video and great info. My friend that has a 1700 acre farm likes to tamp them in. He said a lot less work.

  • @offplanetevent
    @offplanetevent 9 років тому

    I deleted my pto drive shaft alignment comment , maybe you got it . Please disregard it , I had the info backwards.
    Although,
    I'm sticking with ....making the tamper bar longer so you don't bend over so much when tamping the bottom of the hole .
    It will save your back and work your arms more.
    Great video and love the channel.

    Our David Brown tractor has "down pressure" on the PTO. So, no need for risky pushing down on auger by hand. Our soil is the same as yours and we never sheered a bolt or injured an auger. Once we were building some concrete fence (a flawed concept!) Decorative but useless for livestock. Measurements had to be exact because the stringers inserted half way inside the vertical and friction/gravity was all that held them in place. Finally I took some 2X4s and nails and mocked up a vertical and 2 attached laterals. This jig made for spot on measurements and no do overs on holes.

    We live in the northwest and we get some muddy conditions occasionally. We have had issues with the auger getting willed with waste and then just srewing down into the ground. Your PTO will not go in reverse so take your time and make sure that that it doesn't take off into the ground. But yea way better then doing it by hand.

    Could you give a few tips on what to look for when buying post hole augers or the other implements you will be featuring. I am in the process of improving my new homestead and need to get attachments for my tractor. thanks

    Scott,
    Would you consider doing a video on the type of equipment you are using for your videos? I realize it may be hard to film the camera while trying to talk about it, but your videos are always so professional looking. What type of editing software do you use too?

      They are watching for the weak link. Where something is not right, the cows exploit the chance for the greener grass on the other side of the fence.

    Skid steer with a auger is hands down the way to go if your planing on doing a bunch of holes. Tractor is OK for a few but if you have any kinda rocky soil skid steer all the way.

    Great video. I've used my PTO driven auger for about 10 holes. Now I can't get it to go down further than 1/2 depth. My soil is clay and rock and I've sharpened the outside knives but I just can't get it to go down any further. Any ideas on things I should try?

      This auger dug extremely nice. I’ve done about 70 with mine and it does take a while to dig if you have rock or hard soil

    You can replace the missing PTO guard with a section of landscaping drain pipe.
    There are no little accidents with an open PTO.
    At least demonstrate to the many that view your videos and don't know the hazard.

    • @GeeksThroughoutTime
      @GeeksThroughoutTime 7 років тому +1

      That was my thought too. His auger has a straight solid shaft, perfect for a section of sewer line pipe for safety.

    Getting a arm or a leg caught by a PTO will screw you up bad. I worked for a man many years ago who despite telling me the exact same thing you are saying, got his arm caught in a round bailer and lost it.
