TC24DA with post hole digger

[Compact1]

I recently borrowed a John Deere post hole digger from a friend and used it to dig 16 holes in my backyard. The reason I posted here rather than Attachments is because I am bragging about the TC24DA, not just the post hole digger.

My yard is very compacted clay. Not only is it hard to grow grass but it is hard to dig. The post hole digger had a 12" auger and I was pleasantly surprised!

I was able to dig to a depth of 3' in approximately five minutes per hole. I have attached a picture of "blue meeting green" for a successful evening of conquering the clay.

The tractor performed effortlessly and seemed to have more than adequate power for this job. Once again, I am very pleased with my investment.

Here's a picture of a finished hole. The clay is so compact you can see the striations on the sides & bottom of the hole where the auger left it's marks.

I had to "knock-down" the clarity of this picture in order to post...I'm not sure how clear the photo will be.

Jeff,

Great picture of the inside of the hole, I'm impressed with the PTO power of tractors. I have a TC33D, which drives a posthole digger with either my 6" or 9" auger. Every once and a while I break a shear pin, but thats probably cause most of my ground is comprised of 50% rock.
