Chuck, do you have, or are going to get a Top 'n' Tilt set up? If you are, then you can get away with either a 6" or 9" auger for fence posts. Depends on your ground and what size posts that you are going to use. You use the tilt to adjust the auger so that it is straight up and down. (plum) The top hydraulic is removed to install the PHD. As far as the 18" vs 24", I'm not sure, that is why I got both.
If you get the 24" bit, don't get a tree bit. (tapered) Get the bit that will cut a flat bottom. Mine is tapered and it is no fun
hand digging the bottom out square at 4' deep.
Be sure that for that price that you are getting good bits, Pengo or equivilant. You will not be happy with the cheap bits. Depending on how hard your ground is, you might give thought to a down pressure kit also, since your dealer is giving you such a good price. I just paid $540 for my kit, have'nt had a chance to install it yet.
Any other questions, just ask.
