Got me a McMillen Hydraulic PHD! Thanks EA!

I have quite a few fence posts to put in, some trees to plant, and a pole barn to build. I might have went overkill for my application, and I may only use it every couple months, but I decided on a McMillen X1475 hydraulic auger. Thanks to Everything Attachments for recommending the correct one for my tractor/application. It arrived today, some assembly required! Too easy.

What kind of flow does that thing need?

What kind of flow does that thing need?

Thats a 10-25 GPM unit. My tractor puts out 16 GPM. Looking at the graph, at 16 GPM, the auger should spin at 60 RPMs, which on my machine it does. So I'm right where I need to be.
