I recently bought a Danuser 1025H with an offset FEL mount so I can see the auger bit to the side of the hood. I like the FEL mount with hydraulics over a 3 point set up. You can reverse the auger with the hydraulics in case you get it stuck under a root or rock. Also the FEL keeps the top of the auger so much more in alignment with where you want the hole than a 3 pt hitch. I have a 15" bit and I have it down to about 90 seconds to auger a hole deep enough for a RR tie half way deep. More time than that if there are rocks. Your grapple hydraulics on the FEL should be all you need for the auger. If you do get a hydraulic one for the FEL, don't get the skid steer style with the auger in the middle, you will need a spotter on the ground.
