They probably wouldn't be too bad if the soil wasn't so hard (clay) like it is here in Indiana. I just didn't want to take the chance.

Now if you knew a farmer or someone with a tractor that had a PTO on the back to use one like that...wow, you'd have it made.

lol.. well my uncle has 2 tractors and he said with his smaller one we can do my posts.. he just needs the auger or whatever it is that attached to the tractor to make the holes, he has one but it is for the light poles so the hole would be too big..... so I thought I would buy it for him and have him keep it for future use as a thank you since he won't take $$ from me... what fo ya'll think? And how much does it cost? What is it called?
