It shows actual digging on a sloped, rocky site, discusses time per hole (about 30 minutes) and the tradeoff of oversized holes filled with concrete. Useful for owners considering backhoe use for fence work in rocky soil.
An owner-operator documenting real projects on their own property with this tractor, with an openly personal, non-sales perspective.
The auger kept hitting rocks and breaking shear pins, only getting eight to ten inches deep instead of the needed 36 inches, so the backhoe could dig past the rocks.
Each hole took pretty close to 30 minutes, digging through rocky ground on a sloped site.
Set the post in the oversized hole and fill it with at least two bags of concrete instead of trying to pack the dry dirt back in.
