Iv'e been using my Brush Hog PHD 2102 a lot for fence posts. It didn't come with the Down Force Hydraulic Attachment, which I didn't know existed when I acquired it. Too often I hit CLAY! When I do hit clay, the auger just goes round and round but not down. At that point, I get out my "Spud Bar"(Digger/Tamper Bar) and go at it a few cubic inches at each swing. Then clean it out with the manual PHD, and back and forth. I'm getting muscles! Often I try to go back to my Brush Hog PHD but still, round and round but not down. So I chip away at it.
When I don't hit clay, I can use the Brush Hog PHD and within seconds get a 3 deep hole. But when I hit clay, it may take me up to 40 minutes manually.
I just found out that the 2102 has the capability of adding the Down Force Hydraulic Attachment which adds 550 lbs. I've been trying to find more info about this kit but can seem to find any, even on the Brush Hog website.
Anyone know how much the Down Force Hydraulic Attachment Kit costs and have any comments on the performance? Or any other links to this subject?
