As I lower it into the hole I am also constantly pulling it back up but once it get over 8" down, it really want to "go home" pretty fast and it bites in pretty solid screwing into the ground, I quickly lift it and it pops up pretty hard, nothing like the sandy soil in the videos online! Would a slight higher pto speed help...like maybe running the engine at 1,400-1,500?

I buried one pretty good, used 36" pipe wrench to unscrew it.
