I will be building a pole barn this summer. I will be doing most of the work myself, including drilling the post holes. My tractor is a Farmtrac DTC 270, 27hp W/ FEL. I need to drill 18in diameter post holes 48in deep. The soil type is 2ft of sandy loam topsoil on the surface, and the rest is clay underneath. My questions are, can a typical 3pt post hole digger handle a 18in auger bit, and is 26 pto hp enough to drive an 18 in bit if the operator takes his time and takes a small bite with the digger.
Thanks Ryan.
