I have a two man gas powered unit, not very confident of it.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Auger for ground mount

2018-02-09 Thread James "Jibril" Gustafson

Hi Chris,

In the past I have had success with renting a skid steer with auger, or a
mini excavator with auger.  With a little practice you can become
proficient with the machines, the hardest pasrt is getting a plumb hole.
The mini excavator is nice, with a thin digger bucket you can also do your
trenching.  Is fun to learn how to operate these machines.

Good Luck,

Jibril
