I have about 10 posts that I need to place in the next few weeks. I currently have a backhoe with an 18" bucket and I'm wondering how that would work for digging the post holes? I hate to invest another 6 to 7 hundred dollars in a 3 point post hold digger if it's not necessary, but I picture digging the hold with the backhoe and ending up with a much bigger hold than necessary and a bunch of disturbed ground that prevents the post from setting well. I wondered if anyones had any experience with this and can offer some guideance?
Thanks in advance,
Brad
P.S. I suspect the subject of renting a post drill will come up...I know that's an option but it seems like sinking posts is a recurring theme around my place so I'd like to have a solution on site and not rely on a rental yard...
