It covers hookup reasoning, hydraulic flow, digging technique, and the loader-geometry quirk of angling holes straight. Useful for M7060 owners considering a hydraulic auger for heavy post work.
An owner-operator documenting an ongoing farm building project on their own property, with casual, unscripted narration.
In rocky ground the 3-point auger sheared many bolts and struggled, while the hydraulic auger has down pressure, avoids shear pin breaks, and can reverse if it gets stuck.
Yes, the M7060 has a 12-speed transmission with about 22 gallons total hydraulic flow and 17 gallons to the auxiliary, enough to run the auger fine.
The loader sticks out so the auger does not go straight up and down; the operator must back up slightly after starting the hole to get it going straight down.
A 12-inch bit was used instead of a 9-inch bit to give more room to adjust the post position without having to hand dig the hole wider.
