Potential Danuser Auger Purchase

Once you use hydraulicly driven auger mounted on a front end loader bucket. You won't want to go back to a three point hitch, pto unit.

Not sure you can buy one of those for $500?

Exactly. Not to mention you either need a tractor with sufficient pump flow or an auxiliary pump to run one. That means even more money.

Just saying that both are better than a shovel. However in stoney ground or around roots . You will find the $$$ for the upgrade after using a loader mount hydraulic unit. Instead of using a pto three point hitch unit.

Lol. There is always bigger and better. That's why I said this is the best "in-class" auger. As mentioned, Yes, a bucket mount would be better as it has down pressure etc.

With the price difference, its really not worth it unless going into business drilling holes. Unless you have tons of holes to drill, at the cost of the upgrade you mind as well just hire someone else to come do the holes and it would be cheaper AND easier. He got a great deal for his setup.

As for my experience, I've drilled through hard packed dry clay that typically requires a pick ax to bust. With hat sad I am not familiar with other hard packed soils in other areas. (Rocky etc).

The choice of auger cutting edge is probably the most vital factor of all. This auger bit made a whole new machine out of my digger. Cast Auger 1" x 48" w/ 2" Round | Danuser

What are you flapping your gums about ? Take a look at the difference between the cutting edges on the tips of the two different augers.

I said Brand old fart not model..... Go take your Meds.
