This is probably going to be a simple answer and I am going to feel stupid, but here it goes cause I don't know.
I need to set some post holes for a pole barn. I have been considering a hydraulic PHD for the PT. I also plan to put of some fencing at one point or another. I do have a back-hoe...
OK, to the dumb question. How well does a tractor based PHD work compared to a 2-man gas powered unit, especially on slopes. The pole barn will be on "flat" ground, but the fencing will be on sloped. I know there is a certain amount of flexiblity in aligning the augers (especially with a skid steer hydraulic version) but if I am at an angle, and the auger needs to be vertical, how do you deal with the geometry?
Thanks for humoring me.
