#60 L2501 POST HOLE AUGER Setting Posts In Barn Build 

Good job on getting your stalls up.

Your experience with a tractor mounted auger is a little better than mine. We got tons of rock, lack of down pressure normally requires using a digging bar & manual labor. Place is looking good. 👍🏼

Lots of hard from you guys, all looking great.

Good day!!! The foam looks like it's a good idea. Sure makes setting posts a lot easier eh!!! The stalls look good. A good weekend of work I'd say!!! Take care!!!

Very cool, Richie! Looks great! darn no down pressure on 3 point!!!!

Saddle up! You're making big progress. Good job!

Hello from Minnesota. I've got a similar 3 pt post hole digger. Right now the PTO shaft is seized up. Great progress!

Hey Richie and Chrissy, fun times huh. I had never heard of the foam idea. Interesting.

I sure wish an auger would work with our ground. Would make things a whole lot simpler. As it stands now we have to rent the excavator post pounder attachment cuz we are PURE ROCK. ~Erinn :)

Hey Richie, nice video. I never had much success using a 3 point post hole auger, too many rocks in my area. I purchased a hydraulic auger and fitted it to my Kubota kx 121 mini excavator. The setup works better than the 3 point, rocks are still an issue. The other advantage is the ability to reverse the direction of the auger. In the right soil conditions the auger will screw itself into the ground and get stuck. At that point the 3 point is difficult to get out of the hole. Good luck with your stall building. Paul

Looking really nice 👍🏻, the foam is a good idea, no mixing with a shovel required 👍🏻, have a great week guys 👍🏻🙂🙋🏼‍♂️

The barn is looking great!

I am with you on not having down pressure. It makes it twice as hard to get the auger started and to get to you depth you want. keep up the good work!

The foam seems like very neat stuff, I’ve never used it myself. Those augers can sure be a pain in rocky ground. You all are making great progress, everything looks nice! Take care!

I've never heard of the foam so that was neat to learn about! Excited to see the barn finished It looks like it is going to be nice!

Good evening Sir, that is tough going and definitely not a nice walk in the park digging these holes 🥴😏 Outstanding team works 💪👍😉 You are truly both of you hard working folks 👌💪👍😉Very nice looking work 😉👍👌 Have a great week 👍😉 Cheers 🍻

Great job you two 👍 Team work makes the dream work 😁👍 foam works great too 👍

Nice job Richie … the foam is awesome 👏 makes setting posts a snap! Really nice set up for the stalls! Beautiful finishes!

Certainly beats doing it by hand. 😅

Nice job 👍 I took my Pto shaft off and mounted a hydraulic motor on the gear box . Sure works nice . No shear pins and reverse when you stick the auger . I had serious frost problems on post moving and heaving all the time being on clay base ground . I do everything with clear one inch lime stone now . Problem solved . Nothing has ever moved . The foam is interesting .

The barn is looking awesome. Augers certainly are more efficient than the post-hole diggers that give you blisters and Popeye forearms. It still looked like you got a great workout. :) #purplecollarlife
