Yeah, it's nice to be able to Push Down with the FEL.With my previous 3 point auger I set the auger exactly straight, then pulled the tractor forward ever so slightly. By the time the auger was down 36" the hole was straight down. For 6" posts like standard split rail, I use a 9" diameter auger.
I always stored the post hole digger in all separate parts, and installed in the order of yoke, boom, gear box, auger.
I redid my fence this past summer and splurged on a ssqa loader mounted hydraulic auger. That thing is awesome.
