Thanks Red, looks like you did a nice job on the welds. The the mod to the auger makes a bunch of sense. You pretty much have to be digging is perfect soil with one of these things don't you? I imagine rocks and roots will pretty much shut things down or damage the equipment. But I have no experience with these things. So I could be wrong on that. What kind of pitch did you use on that tooth. Looked like a single bevel. Looks like a 45 maybe. Good quality on the vid. Steady image and sharp focus. Looks like some of your `training' is pretty far along.
