A couple weeks ago, I finally got around to installing the hydraulic downforce kit for my Danuser F8 Digger with 16"/30" step auger. Long story short: It works very well. It does indeed put quite a bit of downforce on the auger and greatly speeds digging in very difficult conditions. Highly recommended, if you need it. The only strangeness is that the cylinder is single-acting, so you can only use one of the remote hydraulic ports. The other line has to be plain-old dump back to sump. I had to spend a little time making up a replacement filler cap that would take a sump connection.
