Planting trees and installing fenceposts are major jobs with a shovel but a breeze with post hole diggers, even in the rocky Ozarks where I live.<\/p>\n<p>In this video we&#8217;re going to look at digging a hole to plant a blue spruce tree and discuss operation, safety and storage of post hole diggers.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t go into this in the video, but there are a few options available for post hole diggers. My favorite, and one I wish I had, is a &#8220;leveling rod&#8221; which is a handle that goes from the gearbox to the operator area on the tractor and allows you to &#8220;aim&#8221; the point of the auger directly where you want the hole. I noticed when I was editing the video that my sudden drop of the auger meant I missed the intended location of the spruce tree. Don&#8217;t tell my wife, she&#8217;s happy where it is! There is also, on some of the heavier post hole diggers, a hydraulic option, that uses a cylinder to put down pressure on the auger. I&#8217;m not sold on that feature, because if the weight of the whole unit doesn&#8217;t make a hole, you could have a dull tip (most are replaceable), or you&#8217;re trying to dig somewhere that&#8217;s solid rock, and I&#8217;m not sure hydraulics will help.  Holes can be dug in solid rock but it takes a &#8220;coring auger&#8221; that basically grinds the shape of the hole, then you have to take the center out which can be fun.  That&#8217;s generally not the job of a tractor, but an industrial piece of equipment so don&#8217;t attempt to cut solid rock with one of these.  Finally, you can usually get augers in 6&#8243;, 9&#8243;, 12&#8243; and 16-18&#8243; diameters. The 12&#8243; auger is what I have and, at least in this area, is the most popular and \u00a0what I&#8217;d recommend for most applications.<\/p>\n<p>SUPPORT THE TRACTOR MIKE CHANNEL: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TractorMike<br \/>\nVisit Tractor Mike website: http:\/\/asktractormike.com\/<br \/>\nSubscribe to YouTube Channel: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/tractormike?sub_confirmation=1<br \/>\nVisit Facebook Page: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ask-Tractor-Mike-312112962245304\/<\/p>\n<p><!-- Video Blogster Pro --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the handiest tools around the homestead is a three point post hole digger or post auger.
