You can (usually) get the dirt out much better if you stop the auger spin before lifting out. You were spinning it as you were pulling up so a lot of it just slides right back into the hole.
What the heck? I didn't see a sticker with my skeleton bucket from him. Got it today. Hydraulic cylinder itself mounts differently at the top mount but I think Brad has the conversion mount. Stop the rotation before removing auger from the hole as the dirt was just falling off back into the hole. My machine's pump isn't really rated for an auger at less than 7 GPM.
@@thebeardedhomesteader That's the next big thing on my list but need the switching blocks first. And put your blade behind you for more down pressure on the auger bit.

@lespaul85 Thanks first time using it

Thanks for the info I will do more testing on it I'm looking at a tilt bucket maybe next
