For this reason I was looking at something to go onto my loader via SSQA,Lowe 750 Classic Round Auger Drive Post Hole Digger Fits Mini Skid Steer Loader | eBay but the price was a bit more than I want to pay. Even with this, rocks would keep it from digging straight down.
I bit the bullet on a Land Pride ssqa hydraulic auger last year. Even though it was a little more $ than the one you posted the link to, I don't regret it for a minute.
I redid my split rail fence last month, and the fel mounted auger was simply awesome.
In my particular case there is a lot of broken up concrete and tile about 18-24" down on my property from several demolished silos. 20 years ago with a 3 point auger on almost every hole I hit a chunk of concrete and had to bust it up with a digging bar and pull it out of the hole by hand to continue. The hydraulic auger with the down pressure from the fel either busted the chunks up, or moved them into the vanes and out of the hole. Night and day, and the majority of the holes were not in the old locations. I do use a 9" auger, so the hole doesn't need to be that precise.
