Hello all,
We live in the foothills of northern Colorado. The land has been grazing land for cattle in the past but has never been farmland.
We are putting in horse fence and I am having trouble using my PHD. After reading posts on this site and talking to neighbors I decided that I needed a hydraulic PHD to do the job. I found a deal on a Rhino low volume hydraulic PHD with a 9 inch auger. I am finally ready to put in the fence.
Here is my problem. The digger did auger down into the ground (but slower than I expected) but it did not evacuate the dirt. I tried raising the auger every so often but mostly I have a 30 inch deep hole filled 25 inches with dirt. When I used a rental single person hydraulic PHD at a different location it evacuated the dirt as I lifted it. What am I doing wrong?
The ground was dry but not rock hard as we have had some rain in the last week or so.
Thanks
