We had a viewer question about digging post holes in rocky conditions. In today's video, we dive deep into the debate of using a hydraulic frontmounted post hole digger versus a threepoint PTOdriven auger on a small tractor.

Pros and cons: Learn the advantages of a frontmounted post hole digger, including the added down pressure for tackling challenging terrains. But, is the risk of potential damage to your small tractor's hydraulic pump worth it? We break down the considerations.

Strength vs. Precision: Discover why a threepoint PTOdriven auger might be the safer choice for rocky soil. Uncover how the precision and durability of this setup can save you from unexpected repairs down the line. Also, will the added down pressure of a frontmounted auger go through solid rock any better than a rearmounted PTO driven post hole digger? My guess is there will be minimal difference.

Maintenance Matters: skid loaders and larger ag tractors are designed for the rigors of hydraulicallypowered attachments. Most compact tractors are not. Consider the danger of overheating your hydraulic system with a frontmounted post hole digger and the chance of premature failures.

Expert Insights: Check out the comments from experienced users who have faced rocky conditions and share their insights on which post hole digging solution worked best for them.

Still undecided? It might be a good time to visit your local rental yard to see if you can find a model that you can try out before investing in an allnew machine. Make sure it is designed to work with the hydraulic capabilities of your tractor!
