I have a place near Rocky Creek - so named for good reason. A few years ago, I started looking for a PTO auger that could handle very rocky ground (pounding a T post or piece of rebar into the ground here usually requires at least three tries, moving a bit each time). I found they existed, but started at 5 or 6 thousand dollars. I can稚 help wondering if anyone has come up with a hard rock tip for the average auger, maybe a tapered hard point that acts as a pilot. I am not about to buy a $6,000 auger for my $2,500 Massey Ferguson, just to fence 1.5 acres.
Our other place is rocky but not as rocky as here, so a standard auger might work OK on that 19 acres.
