It covers the quick-hitch incompatibility problem, working out top-link versus quick-hitch geometry, wrestling the auger onto the three-point by hand, puzzling over the handle's purpose, drilling one test hole, and checking gearbox oil afterward. Best for owners facing the same mounting confusion rather than viewers wanting a confident how-to.
Posted by The Country Living Project, an owner working through the implement's quirks in real time on their own tractor with no prior three-point experience.
No, the video shows the quick hitch does not give enough travel. The top point must connect directly to the top-link mount, with the top link and quick hitch removed completely.
The owner was unsure, but found that pointing it away from the tractor seat lets the bit hang straight, suggesting it works as a counterbalance rather than an operating handle.
Yes, after drilling one hole the owner concluded it beats a manual post hole digger, though it needs planning so you are not reattaching it repeatedly.
