AFTER USING A 9" FOR YEARS AND SWITCHING TO A 12" AUGER THE 12"WILL GIVE MORE ADJUSTMENT AND IS THE WAY TO GO FOR THOSE SLIGHTLY CROKET HOLES.

I have the TSC post hole digger and i am in the process of putting in a couple hundred wood posts. The unit has taken one heck of a beating at my place where you never know if you will find pure sand or pure rock below the surface. I hit rocks so many times I sheared the outside blade off the auger several times and gone through two sets of auger blades and a boat load of shear pins. The gear box seems to be holding up very well. I have an 18" auger that I used when drilling the holes for my post frame building and if I were to find any fault with this PHD it would be with the strength of the boom. Getting that 18" auger buried and trying to jerk it out of the ground with the 3pt hitch didn't work but I did not break the boom with my 50hp kubota but did manage to make the holes that the pin goes through a little oval shaped.
